George L. Smith State Park

Morning hike with the pups at George L. Smith State Park in Twin City, Georgia. It's so cold that even Google & Stella are wearing their ski jackets!

 Sandy prepped a snack tray when we got back to the cabin.

Watson Pond on our afternoon walk.

Cabin Trip with Sandy & Larry

Sandy & Larry are joining us for their first Georgia cabin trip.

Google & Stella sat in the third row.

Stella was tired from the long drive.

Barbara Jean's on the Water

Lunch at Barbara Jean's on the Water for lunch with Judy, Mary & Barbara.

Cleaning, Baking & Freezing

Stella is waiting for the cleaning girls to arrive.

She always stays out of their way when they're cleaning. Such a good girl!

 

 

Mary rolls her delicious log cake at Barbara's house ...

... while Barbara & Judy make Christmas cookies.

Yum!

Yummier!

It was so cold at Mary & Google's house tonight!

Oven Fix

3 weeks ago my oven turned itself on, locked the door & set itself to 550 degrees. None of the controls worked. I'm glad I was home to throw the circuit breaker to turn off the power. It was kinda scary. Today I had the circuit boards replaced.

Nap Time

Stella & Google were so happy to be back together!

Heading Home

Stella strikes her usual pose when we're ready to head north. She has all of the comforts of home.

The Tesla Lady

I took my mom to her nail place for a mani/pedi. They have always called her "The Tesla Lady"!!!

Stella Kisses & Bobby Note

Stella thanked me for giving her a haircut yesterday.

Bobby wrote a note for my mom to read. Apparently my mom used to call him "Joy Boy!"

Stella Haircut Attempt & Calendar Reveal

Today I gave Stella a little trim with a pair of clippers my mom had. I think I did okay for a first timer.

Adam was very excited to see the new 2024 calendar I made him.

Bonnie liked it too!

Haircuts & Car Wash

My mom was giving haircuts today. First Hank ...

... then Helaine.

Afterwards, Hank washed the Tesla.

Barista Lesson

Today, my mom taught Sandy how to make her favorite beverage ... an iced mocha.

Treats by the Fireplace

I think you can tell from the reflection that I'm dangling treats by Mary's head.

Brrrrr! Walk in the Hood

Stella & I had a brisk walk on a cold day ...

Heading Home from Georgia

We had a great time at Mistletoe State Park!

 

Mary shot a big wild turkey on the way home

Vacations are always exhausting!

Hiking Around the Cabin

Mary shot some infrared on her iPhone ...
