Tallulah Gorge

Yesterday we went to the Tallulah Gorge State Park. It was a pleasantly warm day with low humidity. Good thing, after going up and down 1062 steps to the bottom of the gorge we were really warm! Tabitha walked almost all the way down and up again. Elijah got to ride on Daddy's back. Lucky little boy!

Rick will be here next Wednesday! Hooray, hooray!!!!

By the way, Tabitha choses her own clothing, we did not put the outfit together!! She loves her tights and bright colors, whether or not they go together :-))!!!

Tocca, GA

I have been here in Toccoa for a couple of weeks now. Joy and Sam are done with finals and today are watching some of their friends graduate. Lots of changes are in the wind for them and their family.

We have started packing up the house to move everything back to Minnesota. They are leaving some of their furniture here for friends to have and are going to take only what fits into the u-haul truck they are renting. Rick is flying down here on the 4th of June to help drive the truck back. I can hardly wait for him to get here! The longest we have been apart since we were married is one or two nights! It will be about six weeks by the time he gets here.

The weather is great today for grad. It is sunny and cool, about 65 just now at 10:20 am. Joy is off to the graduation ceremonies and I am taking care of Tabz and Elijah. Elijah is almost walking. He goes 6-7 steps between people or furniture and stands up in the middle of the room without any help. He is such a sweet baby!

Tabitha (Tabz, Tabby, Tabitha Lorrayne!) is a busy and talkative little girl with wild hair! She is fun and almost three. Keeping up with these two is a challenge for this grandma. I don't know how Joy and Sam will keep up with three once the new baby Kibwaa arrives in November! I know now why God give YOUNG people babies!

Hope you are all well. We'll talk later!

Update 5-5-08

Today is the last full day I will be here in Louisianan. Tomorrow Janet will drive me to Houston where I will catch a flight for Atlanta. Joy will meet me there and I will be spending time with them until it is time to drive back to MN with them and all their stuff.

It has been a good time here, with Janet and Shawn and the boys. I am glad that they will be heading to MN in July for a vacation. The boys are changing so fast and I want to keep up.

Seeing Tabitha and Elijah for the first time since October will be great though. As well as Joy and Sam, of course. I don't know if Elijah is walking now or not! I'll find out soon!

Rick is in Salol, MN now. When I talked with him yesterday he said it was snowing...again! Will winter never give up it's hold in MINNESOTA!? This is getting ridiculous! There is still so much ice on the lakes that they can't get the docks in and opening fishing is this next weekend!

Well, projects to do, things to accomplish. Have a good day, Ya"ll
