GA

What a day! Got to the cabin just before midnight last night and crashed. Explored outside the cabin this morning after breakfast, down by the river. It's the Coosawattee River. There's a tiny island just off shore the owners call Goose Island.
The cabin is called Goose Rapids and is just as gorgeous as we remembered.

We took some pix that may or may not end up on a Xmas card.


We decided to traipse out, and ended up at Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia at 4784 feet. We had to park down below in a parking lot then go up 1000 ft via a 6/10 mile trail. Let me tell you, that was some steep shit. I was out of breath after about 90 seconds. The view was totally worth it though. :)

Having a ball, more tomorrow.

This and That

Ok, I just have to tell you where I am and what I'm doing.

I am in a very, very cool rented 2010 Chrysler Town & Country on my way to the GA cabin with the fam. On my laptop. Blogging. How cool is that??? What can I say, my hubby is the coolest damn geek on the planet. He. is. the. man. And he's all mine, ladies! This is a pic I just took zooming in on the very cool backwards mirror in the ceiling of the van, so you can see everyone in the back. Georgia, here we come! We should be there before midnight.
The MS Crop4Hope was this past weekend, man was that fun. I saw so many people I hadn't seen in years. Jackie did such a great job, thanks Jax!!! My tablemates were fantastic - Ginni, Dee, Julie, Marty and Kelli - such fun ladies to be around and so inspiring to see what all they were working on.
Then of course there was the Amazing Race. Our team name says it all - "Going Down in Flames.". That's all I can say. That, and holding printed-out bags o'taters is just plain funny. Oh, and when I got home from the crop, my oldest, Jess, was looking at all my cool goodies and saw the MS Crop4Hope tote bag. She said, and I quote, "Cool, Madre, you won Ms. Crop!" I actually snorted.

Ok, one last thought: I have the craziest. child. on. earth. Evidence: this video I found on my camera one day after she had had a "boring afternoon". I just about wet myself.

Finally For Sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our house is finally for sale! What a long, hard journey. We signed with a great realtor on Saturday, Kim Hermann from Keller Williams. We just know she's going to do a GREAT job. She put the lock box on the door, and the sign goes in the yard tomorrow. She asked when we signed, are we bittersweet about it? Are we sad to go? That's a big NO! We are ready. We've talked about this for over 2 years, then did all the fixing up just to sell it. We can't wait to get into a new house! Anyone know anyone who would like a beautifully remodeled 4/2 in Citrus Park??? :)
