Upon leaving Texas we made our way to Atlanta, GA. We arrived there on December 23. You may remember that we lived in Atlanta for 30 years before retiring. We were able to visit with old friends which we really enjoy. We even got to spend a weekend in the north Georgia mountains with 3 other couples. Helen, GA is a cute little town designed to look like something out of the Swiss Alps. We had done this every year before leaving Atlanta so it was nice to be able to get together one more time with “The Group”. Here are Jim, Blair, Ron and Bob at our rented cabin.
And here are the girls…Suzanne, Donna, Anita and yours truly.
The guys traditionally make the 3 mile hike from Unicoi Lodge into Helen where we join them for lunch. They looked like street people…see their empty cups. All they needed was a sign that read “Will work for food”. After lunch they hike back to Unicoi.
We were able to spend time with our good friends Linda and Richard Shepherd. During our stay we had a delicious meal that Linda prepared for us at their home. She is a great cook. Linda and I have know each other longer than we have known our husbands. And we’re not telling everything we know about each other!
Sorry I did not get a better picture of these good friends.
We spent a wonderful evening at Deb and Richard Boswell’s visiting with our friends from the church we used to attend, McKendree UMC. Deb and Richard are so gracious to always get everyone together at their home when we are in town. We really appreciate it and had such a great time. As always, the food was outstanding. Thanks Deb and Richard.
Connie & Bill, Gary in the back, Bob, Bob and Karen (they are also past neighbors), Patty, Dick and Sandy in the back and Richard and then Debbie, B.J. and Lloyd. We are so blessed to call them friends.
We also had the opportunity to visit with friends Lisa and Phil Collymore and Dan and Carol Finch. We met these folks when we attended Crossroads Community Church in Lawrenceville before going to McKendree. It has been several years since the 6 of us have been able to get together. Here are Lisa and Carol.
Bob, Dan and Phil. Dan was and is an associate pastor at CCC which has been renamed Twelve Stone…which now has a congregation of about 10,000 people. When we attended there were probably about 300. (Again, sorry for the photo quality.)
Okay, we are half way thru the Atlanta trip. More to come.
Moving on…
