We started scraping the old paint on the garage doors a few weeks ago and found several bad "rotty" spots. Our doors are heavy wooden doors that requires painting about every other year. As you can see below they were sad looking....

Before.....

After!!! =D .....(i love them)

~Fred's Peanuts~ Helen,Ga

this was a neat little roadside store in Helen, Ga

Look at that pretty fresh honey!

The water wheel was so pretty!

Mr. Fred had the "friends" of his all over his porch....
this guy looked a little "shady" so I sat down & talked

with this lady.......well, I talked & she was a great listener!

I want to make one of these for some reason....Oh, when we got back in

the car to leave Mr. Fred had all his friends fixed so they waved at you.

He had each of them connected to a string that he could

operate from his "counter". Yes....I waved back too!

Helen, Ga

We had a great time in Helen,Ga last weekend with the Millers! I had been through there about 20 yrs ago. It was rainy & chilly on Friday. We got out and tubed the Chattahoochee River. It was alot of fun. We rode around in the Uncoi state park. The place we stayed at was great. Click here to check it out!

this may sound "CORNY" to you....

I have found the most greatest way to put up corn! Shuck & slik it, place large cobbs on the lower rack & smaller cobbs on the top rack of your.....(drumroll) DISHWASHER!!!! Hit the regular cycle button, when the cycle is complete open the door to racks completely cool. Just wonderful I tell you! WON-DER-FUL!

He's one COOL-CAT!

Jeff has told me a million tales about his Nanny Gladys,Uncle Bud & how he loves to hear his Aunt Janice talk......We finally took time to make a trip! We also got to see Christy & Pam's family too! They had a wonderful spread of BBQ & all the extras! The only thing it was just too short of a visit! ......and I was so excited I forgot my dang camera in the truck! =( I snapped a bunch at Uncle Bud's for you to see. He has the neatest shop for his hot rods! I think he's one cool cat!

I love these old oil cans he had in his garage. I thought they were so colorful! Thanks Uncle Bud & all the gang for having us! Hope to see you again soon!

Santee River Fishing Trip

We had a great time on the Santee river inSouth Carolina. I got to tag along with Jeff & Hamp on their fishing trip. I had a ball! This river has tons of the "swamp trees" with the moss hanging from them. I love the Cypress trees it was so pretty. We caught some crappie and Alligator gars! Yikes!
