Sunday afternoon we went up on the farm with Nana and Poppa.

The the shooting began. All the blessings shot a .22 with blessing #1 shooting the most as the only gun was a full size and the girls are used to our little .22.

Nana and the girls set up housekeeping in the back of Poppa's truck. They had a broom and swept it out and prepared food.

Sunday afternoon, we visited Mamaw and Papaw but we did not get good pictures.  Monday we went to a state park for lunch and took the long back way home over Fonde Mountain.

Blessing #1 at the top of the mountain.

Tuesday we took it easy around the house but I did go surprise Pa-Pa's sister, she manages the craft store at the local national park.  Pa-Pa called her so she could hear her when she was surprised.

I took tons of pictures inside but this is the main jist of it all. They had fun and I go soaked on a water ride!

Thursday night we went out to eat with my sweetheart's family.

My husband's aunt and all the grandkids were making paper airplanes out of the paper napkin rings and attacking each other with them, they had alot of fun.

Friday night.... we were in the south and it is fall. We went to a high school football game. Not just any high school, but the high school we attended and my husband played football. My son was excited about going to this game.

Well, we are finished, I am sure you are all glad. Now, I can get back to my regularly scheduled blogging.  It's November.... time to switch to Thanksgiving mode. Only 9 more days of subbing....I can't wait to be home again.

May the Lord find us faithful.

Oh, we love Dollywood! We were blessed to go there once a few years ago. Your trip looks like it was great fun. Was there anything that you did special that you can't do back in Alaska? Like any foods you ate or anything like that? Did you get a Krispy Kreme? (lol)

Oh, it looks like so much fun - and a busy time too. That is wonderful that you got the 4-generation picture! I've never been to Dolly World, but was to the Grand Ole Opry many years ago. We love Cracker Barrel - there is only 1 or 2 of them in MN, and too far away for us, so whenever we are on vacation, that's where we eat a lot. :)

I tried to post a comment last night, but for some reason it wouldn't cooperate & went bye-bye. But I wanted to share that at the dinner table last night I was bemoning the fact that it was 84F in AZ and 79F in Dallas & it was cold & blustery here at home (our first few flurries). Then my dh pops up and said, "Did you visit your friend in Alaska?" lol So I had to pop in and see what your temp. was and felt ever so much better. lol Are your days getting much shorter there now too? With the time change, it is dark so fast that I'm ready for bed by 7 p.m. lol

Warm Wishes - Have a Good Day My Friend!
