Road Trip with My Bestest Friend

Hello to Everyone,
Spent a wonderful day on at road trip with my bestest friend, my husband.
We started about around 10 this morning and headed west. Our plan was to have no plan
and to just go for the day. We did some sight seeing to places like, LaRue Swamp, Pine Hills, Little Grassy Lake and Pamoma Natural Bridge. We came close to a place that we call Bald Knob Cross. It is a beautiful white cross standing some 75 feet in the air, the landscape around the cross is hilly and mountainous. From miles away on top of the opposite mountains you can see the Cross shining in all it's wonder.
Sorry for the rambling on but our day was filled with many sights and sounds to share. LaRue Swamp was alive with the sounds of Frogs, must have been a thousand, we couldn't see the frogs but we could tell by the sounds they were just right out there.
We were traveling a back road and looking out into an empty field we saw a dark black animal. After stopping the vehicle both of us grabbed for our cameras and began to focus in on the animal out in the field. The animal must have sensed us watching after him and he turned in a dead run. We followed the creature for probably 3/4 mile and all the while voicing what we thought this animal to be. We came to the conclusion that we had found a large black panther. But as we began to loose sight of the creature we were discouraged and decided to change our location to possibly get a better photo of the animal as it came through the grove of woods. But to our surprise when out ran the biggest blackest puppy dog........
We decided it was time to head to the house, we had done started seeing things.....
It was to funny, just had to be there.
We did have a wonderful day and I enjoyed spending the day with my Bestest Friend, Buddy, Lover and Husband.
I guess that I have rambled on long enough. I better head out of here for now..
Love,
Me.

Hello, Welcome and Come on In.

Good Morning,
Just sitting here waiting on the school bus to drive by the house. See every school morning that I am home from work I have to stand on the front porch and wave at the bus.
On the bus are my two prides and joys. Back about 6 years ago my oldest grandson started kindergarten, he was nervous of riding the bus by himself so I promised him Papa and I would watch for him as the bus drove by the house. We would wave and blow him a kiss and he would do the same. Now he has grown to where he is allowed to put the window down and wave his little hand out the window at us.
Several times as he passed it brought Papa and I to tears, his expression on his little face was that of, save me nana, or I'm all grown up now we can stop waving now. I have told him many times that I will wave at him as he passes the house with his prom date, well that just makes him nauseated.
Our 2nd. grandson (his brother) started riding that same school bus to pre-kindergarten this year, so he just beginning to experience Nana and Papa waving from the front porch. His little head just bearly rises above the window but that little hand is raised high while he waves at us. Over the years we have noticed quite a few of the children waving at us from the bus.
One day after our grandchildren have all grown and Papa and I are still out on the porch waving at the bus, we will be known around town for crazy old man and lady waving.
I better head out of here it is about time for the bus to roll by.
Love,
Sue
