Four Birds Flew

Like a broken record: it’s beautiful weather on the day we’re leaving. Been in northern Georgia for a couple days, visiting our uncle, aunt, and cousin (mom’s brother, sister-in-law, and nephew). After a night of Bingo and a bear sighting, I finally whittled the rest of our pictures down to the “best”, so a real update recapping everything we’ve done so far is one more drive away. Where to next? NASHVILLE! I get to show the girls the city I fell in love with and will soon be calling home. And with that, we’re off for a windy scenic drive!

If you ever come to Helen, Georgia on a Wednesday or Friday, no worries, you are covered. They have a BINGO night from April to September.  It is so much fun and Helen is a cute little town.  No one in our group won, unfortunately, but we still had a good time.  On our way back to the house we turned into a parking lot with a dumpster, which happened to have a little black bear on top.  We thought he was a statue, but to our astonishment he moved and jumped into the brush.  He was very cute and fuzzy.

Ta-da! The site finally exists, though painfully sparse. Our backlog of updates and photos will have to wait until we next have internet. Spent the weekend in Dallas with old friend Chelsea and new friend Jenny; leaving shortly for Florida. Tropical Storm / Hurricane Fay? We’ve got our eye on her and would rather avoid that brawl with Mother Nature. Text message updates from my phone are on the right–minuscule observations will have to do for now!
