Flowing Through Mountains

Another fun filled day.

Today we headed to Helen, GA and did the tourist thing.  Shopping, walking, picture taking.

We even found a neat gem mining shop just outside of Helen.  I caved in and bought a bucket of sand so we could “pan” for gems.  Silly, but fun.  And I managed to get 2 good sized pieces of labordorite, my favorite!! :)

What an awesome day we had!!

We started by heading up to meet my friend at Apple Mountain Resort.  She was awesome enough to get us a good deal on a room for the night so we could stay up in North Georgia for a couple days.

Then we headed up to see Goats on the Roof.  Haha.  So funny!  And cute.

Our plan was to then go see Tallulah Gorge, but unfortunately my mum hurt her knee on the plane here.  So instead, we decided to go waterfall hunting.

After getting lost on some back roads up/down a mountain, we finally found some.  What an amazing sight.  It was a great day!! :)

Mum’s here!!

Even after a 2 hour delay, and threats of lost baggage.  Unfortunately, our plans needed to be adjusted and we were unable to go to Sweetwater Creek State Park.  But hopefully we’ll get time to go  during her visit.

We did get to have a delicious meal at Cue tonight though.  Yum, yum!

Mum’s coming into town tomorrow!!
So…finally time to clean the car (inside/out), and get an oil change.

I found this little guy outside on a picnic table while I was waiting for my car.

Nothing much happened today…

Ok, so…rainy weather is one thing…but threats of tornados and hail is a completely different thing.

Today has reminded me just how strange the weather can be.  One minute it’s a normal April day.  A few hours later all hell breaks loose and it’s raining cats and dogs and hail balls. 

But just wait…7 minutes after that the sun is shining brightly in the sky with no signs of bad weather, just big fluffy white clouds.  Crazy.

At least I didn’t see a tornado.  Those things scare everything right out of me.

Rainy days are upon us.

Like the saying goes…April showers…

I really love my camera. 

I know I’ve said that before…but I really do.  Some of the images that I get with it simply amaze me.

Like today, I went out on the back porch to try and get a decent pic for the day.  Success!

We also had some of Will’s friends over for dinner tonight.  That went really nice too.  I made some hummas, and Will made chili and guacamole.  Everything was delicious!

Mmm…coffee…

Working a double today, trying to make lots of money. :)

Back to work!  I didn’t realize how much I missed this crazy place.  The people here are great, and I’m very thankful to work at a place I enjoy.

Well, that and the money.  Being broke really stinks!
