"What a FUN Birthday"!!!!!!!!!

It all started on Thursday when I came home from shopping and Greg had completed the flower box he had made me for my birthday! Isn't is cute!!! I love flower boxes. Greg is so talented. All he needs is a picture of something and voila- there it is. Thank you Greg- love you!!!

My kids also gave me great gifts for my birthday. This picture of the Grand kids at the beach is so cute and I love having a year's subscription to Good Housekeeping magazine.

Nathan and Amy are living in the Mountains of North Georgia right now working on an LDS church. They are near a town called Helen- I've heard about it for years and they are just 25 miles from it. So we took a trip to Georgia and went to Helen and hung out in the cute little German town. We shopped and had dinner on the river at a yummy restaurant!

Then it was time for ice cream and a game of putt-putt!

Another reason we went to Georgia is so that Nathan could take Greg kayaking down one of the many rivers in the north Georgia mountains. Didn't get any pictures, but they had a great time.

On our way to pick Nathan and Greg up from the river we went to "Goats on the Roof." No kiddin"- there are real goats living on the roof of this cute little country store and ice cream shop. It is wild- grass is growing up there and there are bridges connecting the stores that the goats cross over on. Never seen anything like it!!

What a fun birthday- thanks Nathan and Amy for showing us around!!!!

What a fun summer we have had so far!!! All the family (except of course Spence) came to Destin, Florida for a week of fun in the sun. Lindsay was the photographer for her best friends wedding so we took advantage of them being in the South. What a great time we had and how fun it is to have a photographer in the family.
We also took a day and went to the Smokies for a picnic at the chimneys and a ride down the Alpine Slide. Fun Times!!! Our grandkids are the cutest!!!!!

Our "Barnwood" Ceiling

Our barnwood ceiling!

Greg added some "tin"

We love the variations in the colors.

We kept the "stage" lighting - we're actually thinking about opening up to the public since we have a stage, a pool table and ping-pong-anybody wanna come over and sing and play?
You think I'm kidding don't you?

We're going for the "Ruby Tuesday" look on the ceiling and walls!

A few months ago Derek, Nathan, & Greg tore down a barn not too far from our home. We had the idea that it would look cool on our ceiling in our basement. And best of all- it was free (except for the hard work from the boys- thanks guys! We owe you a shrimp dinner at the beach). How do you like the results? Greg did a great job installing it. It was a lot of work , but well worth it!!
