Doctor break

Mother had an appointment in Marietta this morning and I had one in the afternoon in Woodstock.

The Marietta Fish Market was located between the two locations and since her appointment was at 10:45am and mine was 1:15pm it was a no-brainer where we would eat lunch.





No, we did not indulge in a dessert.

Hockey Sunday

The five of us: John, Marilyn, Derek, Suzanne and I attended the Gwinnett Gladiators game against the Florida Everblades.


We had very good seats near center ice.


In the third period there was a penalty shot which provided for a good picture and the Everblades scored.


Every time we scored Marilyn got kissed.


Unfortunately that was only once and we lost 3-1.

Hockey week

This past weekend we met up with Derek and Marilyn Kratzer Smith (Tom and Mary Kratzer's daughter) at John Griffin's residence  in Hartwell for hockey week. Derek and I went to the Saturday night game and then we all went to the game on Sunday.



The ice was painted pink for cancer awareness. It took 2 1/2 hours to paint the rink pink.



Here is the mascot in front of us entertaining a small child fan.


A band played for us in between periods.



We played the Florida Everblades who were last years ECHL champions and you can see we lost. Tomorrow the Sunday game will be posted.

Backwoods Kennel & Cattery

Do you know what a Maine Coon cat is? I didn't until this trip to Alabama.

First, we had to drive two miles down a dirt road.


Then, we were greeted by this sign.


This is a Maine Coon. (only 18 months old). They grow to 25 pounds.


The owner showed us his favorite.


You can go to www.backwoodszoocrew.com to find out how they got their name Maine Coons and see some interesting pictures.

Alabama Trip

We were invited to go to Alabama with another couple today to see some Maine Coons.

On the way we stopped in Cave Spring, GA  for lunch.




The food was good but two pictures inside caught my eye.



Tomorrow we will post the visit to the Backwoods Kennel & Cattery in Alabama that we toured today.

LOST LANDMARK

A neighbor came over today and the two of us dislodged  the boat from the shore. We tied four ropes together to reach over to our dock and then pulled it free.


Here he is taking it back



To its rightful owner; his brother-in-law.



What a great brother-in-law.WOW
