Six Flags Over Georgia

Ammon earned his own ticket to

Six Flags through a reading program

at school.  So his best friend Jack

and I accompanied him for a day of FUN.

--First ride--

 --Favorite Ride--

Superman

It was a FUN FILLED day!

My Front Porch

While living in Hong Kong I missed

SO MANY things.  One of the things

I missed most was my CUTE house

with the double front porch.

I have put some time and attention into

it since I have been home and 

I love it even more.

 I love that the kids hang out here.

They left their homemade battle ax here.

 Hanging the porch swing.

You can't be Southern and not have

a porch swing.

 A FUN view of the battle ax, the ladder

and my favorite chair.

 Since the house was so quiet without us here

the birds invaded.  Every column of both 

levels of the porch have a nest.

 Ammon is LOVING being home - 

hangin' out with his best friend Jack.

--On the back deck--

 The hibiscus is blooming BEAUTIFULLY

and I still LOVE my cute glider.

There is nothing like a front porch in Georgia.

Now to get Fred home to enjoy it with me.
