Not a happy camper!

As I was cutting grass this evening, I went around to the back side of my garage....an area that I rarely go....and what did I find?

A big hole that someone knocked in the wall sometime in the past 2 weeks!

The burglar had kicked through the exterior wall and went into the rear storage room, which fortunately was just full of mostly junk stuff.

The only thing that I could tell that was taken was an old bicycle that was in there. Fortunately, nothing that I will miss....but now I have to re-do the entire back end of the garage. Grrrrr!

I put up a temporary piece of plywood that I had, but will have to go buy the regular wood siding and do it right this week. Lucky that I am on furlough this week to get it done!

Trip Pics

A bunch of photos are now posted on my Facebook page. You can see the album and click on the photo to move to the next by going here. We spent 13 days traveling up the entire Blue Ridge Parkway, and then the Skyline Drive...plus a crazy one day tour of Washington DC.


Here is one of the shots.....a mama bear was nursing two cubs just 30 feet or so from our tents in Shenandoah National Park (Big Meadow Campground).

Super Freak!

Some fun from today's retirement party for Gary at work.

A Night at the Fabulous Fox Theater

What a great night! Thanks to one of the artists performing tonight (EG rocks!), I was able to attend the live broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and friends in Atlanta at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.





Guests tonight included E.G. Kight and Caroline Herring (above).



Also performing were the super sounding bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers (above) and southern humorist, Roy Blount, Jr. (below)



Garrison's tales, songs, and the latest news from Lake Wobegon and the interesting people who live there always keeps the audience mesmerized!



It was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it if they are ever in your neck of the woods!



And after the show, it was great to meet a few of the performers and backstage folks, and to sit and chat with some great talent at the cocktail lounge next door. What a great evening!

Sapelo Island

Got back from Sapelo Island on Sunday....fantastic trip.
