Happy

Halloween!

This picture was actually taken inside the De Soto Cavern, note stalactites in background. The pumpkin was not with us-thanks to photo shop.

Austin and Grandpa chowing down the rest of the fudge. ANGELA!!! It's all gone. Spent the day at De Soto Caverns, which was awesome and we definitely know the difference between "stalactites" and "stalagmites". To remember the difference the "tites" are from the ceiling and "mites" might reach the ceiling, build from the ground up!

Appalachian remnants

Okay, we are driving up the hill, up the hill. Now we realize it is a mountain. Driving along there are breathtaking views that only God could create for our pleasure. Rick drives back to an opening and we stand in awe. Of course he poses for me. This range is just a remnant of the Appalachian Mountains just south of Chattanooga's Lookout Mountain range. Rick would love to build a house here (the land is for sale), but I worry about grandkids running off the edge of it. Mitchell is NOT afraid of heights!

Cathedral Caverns

We didn't tour the caverns but the state park allowed us to go into the front part of the cavern. I came across something very interesting after we left and I viewed my shots. The last two shots has an orb in it. Rick always says it's moisture on my lens, but the orbs don't appear on the same place on the lens. I like to think the orb (spirit or whatever) loves this place and wants to show it off. It looks like it is actually posing for me. Click on the photos and see for yourself.

Hamilton and Talladega Alabama

We traveled to Hamilton, Alabama three weeks ago and visited churches in the area for a week. While traveling we marveled at the beautiful landscape around us. Forests everywhere. Creeping foliage draping the countryside(note foliage on bridge.) Next year we plan to visit the Natural Bridge-largest one Eastern side of USA.

For two weeks we have settled in Talladega which is southeast of Birmingham. We're staying at one of our famous Florida Sports and Recreation Network resorts that costs WBS less than what we would get at a motel room. And yet we get two bedrooms, two baths, full kitchen, fireplace, upper and lower deck.
