[at-l] Man! We need a hike!!!

[Gray Fowler]

That is exactly what the Mrs and I are doing except this will be her first experience with the AT.

We will be heading over to the Goose Creek Cabins from Jackson, Ms to meet my daughter and her husband for a couple of day hikes up Blood Mt & then North up the trail for a couple of miles.

Can't think of a better way to spend Tgiving than with the one you love. 

Enjoy!!!

I grabbed my rain gear and headed out to try to tie it down.  Just as I got over to it in the whipping rain, it started lighting like crazy!  I took off for the house.  What a light show!

There were several reports of downed trees, and then he ran into a couple of wrecks.  While I was waiting on him all I could do was sit on the front porch and watch helplessly as the wind would pick it up, toss it about, and then throw it back down.  Just before Michael got home it slacked off a bit.  We were able to dismantle the mess, pull pieces from the trees, and pick everything up out of the neighbor's yard.

> At first we were both grumpy as we'd killed ourselves all day yesterday getting those blasted things up.  GAH!  All of that work for naught!  At least by the end of it we were able to joke with one another about it.  And, I just had to giggle though when Michael had first gotten home he came into the living room where I sat dejectedly, leaned over me, planted a kiss on my forehead, and said, "It's OK, Ma'am.  The National Guard is here.  Everything is going to be alright."  LOL!!!

> We both agreed that after working so hard to put this party together we deserve a break!  Man!  We need a hike!!!

> We're definitely going to go somewhere for the Thanksgiving holiday.  My daughters don't come up to see me any more... haven't seen them since August... haven't spoken to them in weeks.  They don't text or call me any more.  Their Momma has become an inconvenience next to Jerrica having a boyfriend and Tori just going along with the crowd.  So, we know they won't be coming up.  And, Michael's family really hasn't said anything about getting together.  After doing all this for Halloween, I don't know that I want to cook for a big crowd.  And, we really don't want to sit around the house for the holiday season.
