Back to the Blog (after a slight delay)

To those friends who have checked this blog and looked for posts, my apologies. After posting all about last year's travel adventure (well, almost all of it), I hit a dry spell.

I’m really tardy in finishing up the blog entries from our Summer Adventure! It seems that we hit the ground running as soon as we got back to San Antonio, then Clayton’s school started… then, etc., etc.

After Atlanta, we camped at Oak Mountain State Park which is shouting distance from where our family lived most of the time from 1948 until Windy and Mother passed in 1996 and 1997. The park was great! Good fishing: Clayton caught his first and second fish ever. Was he thrilled! His Uncle Jerry and his cousins Jonathan and Joseph took him fishing. I visited with my Aunt Elizabeth in Childersburg for a day on Wednesday of that week. Also, we got to spend a couple of days in Arab with my sister Sally. She’s recovering nicely from her heart, kidney and diabetes difficulties and is adjusting fairly well to her living restrictions.

We got to attend the Green family reunion which was held at Shirley Winslett's (my cousin Dubby's widow) home in Moody, Alabama. A small turnout, but it was great to seem some of the older relatives and hear a few of their stories. Of course, this always makes me feel somewhat guilty for not listening more to these stories and capturing them for our children and grandchildren.

Or friends, Donald and Mary Ann Hand joined us at the park (along with Ann, Jerry and the boys) for our last night in Alabama. Good visit.

All in all, a good trip.
