Great Smoky Mountains

We are back from the Smoky Mountains and we had a great time. The spring wildflowers were blooming and everything was turning the bright green of spring. It was beautiful. We did some hiking and lots of photography. I created a slideshow in the left margin of some of the photos that we made. The picture of the bear is not very good, but I was not about to get too close to her because she had two cubs with her. As always, it was great to get away for a few days, but also great to be home again.

Antiques in the Garden

We spent Friday and Saturday at Petals from the Past for their Antiques in the Garden event helping Andrew and Jen-Yu with their booth. It was very sunny (which was nice) and very windy (which was not nice). It was a lot of work keeping everything on the tables. At least the storm on Friday night was not too bad and there was no damage.

On another note, Forrest and I are going to the Smoky Mountains on Thursday. Very exciting! Forrest's birthday is tomorrow and he gets a day off work for his birthday, so he is going to take it on Friday so we will have a long weekend. We will leave Daniel and Magen in charge of the house while we are gone and then they will be going to Minnesota on Sunday for a week long church planting course in preparation for their work in France.

Happy Birthday Magen!

Last night we had a little celebration for Magen's birthday with pizza and birthday cake. Magen's birthday was actually last Friday, but she and Daniel were at the beach so our celebration was delayed until yesterday. Andrew and Jen-Yu are going to have a booth at the Antiques in the Garden event at Petals From the Past in Jemison, AL on Friday and Saturday of this week. We are going to be helping them with that, so this week we are going to be busy getting everything ready. We will be setting up on Thursday and the event is from 9 AM to 5 PM on Friday and Saturday. It is lots of fun, so come if you can. Check out the Petals from the Past website if you need directions.
