Georgia on my mind...


Well after surviving another night in the wilderness I feel 10ft tall and bullet proof.  No vampires, werewolves, zombies or demons   Last night we stayed in a state park in Georgia.  It was beautiful and right on the lake.  Sorry Hayley but it really was beautiful!  Anyway it rained and we had to hang out in Big Bertha for a bit but then it cleared up just in time for the geese to all arrive on our bank and start to haunt Shano.  It was as if we had parked BB right on a geese breeding ground.  Picture it if you will (or can) – Shano standing on beach surrounded by and entire gaggle of geese and looking extremely nervous!!!  There were so many geese in fact that I am not sure that 1 gaggle would adequately account for how many geese there  actually were.  So perhaps if we say that 1 gaggle represents 20 geese, then Shano was surrounded by 5 gaggles!  Hilarious.  To calm down, Grace and Shano went on a squirrel hunt and "theoretically" almost shot two deer.  Theoretically because a) Shano had no weapon and b) Grace screamed out "Don't kill them Daddy" at the vital moment.  Well, no prizes for guessing who won't be going hunting when the season starts in Pennsylvania!!!!

Today we went to Fort Benning to see where they filmed "We Were Soldiers Once" and also Mick and Deb's old house (promise we are not stalking you or anything).  Shano then convinced me to go with him and Grace to the Infantry Museum which is the size of our War Memorial.  Lots of things that whizzed and banged that kept me amused for about ten minutes and then I went for coffee.  Shano and Grace who are died hard War Memorial fans lasted about two hours. Impressive!  I know that you will tease me for going Hayley but it really was very interesting. Promise.

Tomorrow we are off to Charleston and I am sooooo excited. It is somewhere I have always wanted to go since seeing "Gone with the Wind" and that really crappy mini series called "North and South" with Patrick Swayze - Spunk!!!  So I will keep you posted tomorrow on whether or not I have run off with a hot southern man and left Shano and Gracelene to roam the countryside without me.  Til then......

  2. I am not surprised that you were all left alone by the vampires, zombies and other forms of the super natural. I have witnessed first hand how you and Shane deal with Devil Devil Birds and I'm sure word has got out - don't mess with the Gabriel's!!
