These are pictures of us on the train ride that went around Stone Mountain. The Conductor gave us some history of the Mt. and then they played some songs like, "I've Been Working On The Railroad" and "Midnight Train to Georgia" and then surprise of all surprises they played Shelby's song, "She'll Be Coming Around The Mountain." We have a funny story about that song. One day about a year ago we were out driving and listening to a children's music CD. Shelby told me she wanted to hear her song. I'm like "what's your song??" She told me, "you know the song with my name!" I don't have a clue?, "What song are you talking about?" And she says, "you know, 'Shelby Be Coming Around The Mountain'" Now say it fast, can't you see how she could make that mistake? There is no convincing her other wise. That will always be "her" song. She sang it loud and knew every word.

River Boat Ride

"What do you mean,

I got to wear this thing??"

When we went to ride the big river boat

they made Shelby put on a life vest.

From the pictures you can

tell she wasn't thrilled.

I love this picture!

Finally we get a smile!

Take Me "Back" To The Ball Game!

As we were driving home yesterday from Atlanta, Shelby told us she wanted to go back to the ballgame! That excites me, because we love baseball in this house. You have to start little girls out early and they'll love baseball too. Her daddy loves all sports but played baseball for 9 years. By the way she wanted to go back to the hotel too. That girl knows she loves a Holiday Inn Express. (just like her Gigi)

1965 Ford Falcon

My Daddy taught me to drive. We had a white 1965 Ford Falcon station wagon. It was the only new car my parents ever bought. It was a standard shift, 3 on the column. I loved that car! (White Fords must be in my blood because I drive a white Ford vehicle now.) That car would hold a lot of friends and sisters and brother. Only thing, the gas gage didn't work. So daddy taught me to figure out how many miles it would get to the gallon and then keep a check on the odometer and when it got close to those miles I would know to fill it up again. More than once I ran out of gas and daddy had to bring me some more. Those were the days when we didn't have cell phones. So running out of gas wasn't that convenient. But I had so much fun in that car. When I was growing up my parents would let down the back seat, throw in a single bed mattress and off we'd go, on trips, to the beach, and many evenings to the drive-in movie. Daddy would back into the parking spot and then he'd let down the tail gate and all 5 of us kids would lay there on our tummies and watch the movie. Mama and daddy would get out and sit in lawn chairs. I love drive in movies. They still have one in Jesup GA. and Harry and I've talked about going soon as they show something worth seeing.
