Let's see if we can't get this moving again.


ONLY 76 DAYS TILL WE LEAVE FOR DISNEY!!!!!
Only 78 days till we get to Fort Wilderness for the first time!

Anybody know of some good campgrounds to stay at in southern Georgia along 75? Right now we are thinking of staying at Reed Bingham State Park, but would love to hear some suggestions!

Enjoy it while you can, one DS is out of the house and the other has a job now. It seems to have reverted back to DH's job. By the way would someone please STOP THE RAIN!!! It was so dry for a while and now it won't stop. There is flooding everywhere and they say we could get another couple inches today. Our yard is fast becoming a hay field.

Rain? What is rain? We're still in drought mode with 3 digit temps! It's been hotter here than in Florida Weather dude said today is going to be the last of the 3 digit temps....but he said that last week

Oh, about mowing....I think we mowed our yard three times this year.

 

[Colson39]

I have to mow mine at least once a week or it just gets crazy, at least during the summer.

 

[We4mickey]

DH mowed last week and that was the first time in a month. Now it is so wet and long he'll probably have to go over it twice, that is when it dries out.

We will be at Stone Mountain, Georgia But trying to decide if we want to do a Braves vs. Mets game or the Atlanta Aquarium. I'm saying Aquarium but I'm out-numbered by DH and DS. I love a good Braves game but this late on tickets, the best available are upper box seats...I'd much rather watch it on TV (yes I'm a spoiled "dugout mama"). Has anyone been to the new Atlanta Aquarium? If so, which would you choose, a Braves/Mets game in the furtherest seats in the stadium or the Aquarium?

 

[Gatordad]

I wouldn't go see the Mets if they were in my kitchen..... But maybe the Braves...

Go to the aquarium.

 

[AuburnJen92]

I have heard from one of my college buddies that the aquarium is one of the best in the country. Skip the baseball game (it is too slow anyway), go to the aquarium! (Sorry, but my opinion of baseball is skewed because I coach HS fastpitch softball, but I would go to the aquarium even if I didn't coach!)

Did you ever hear of Cat Osterman?

Did you ever hear of Cat Osterman?

Yes - Cat Osterman page

Friend of yours?

 

[Gatordad]

She has relatives in Wesley Chapel, she was here to kick off our Little League program last year.

 

[AuburnJen92]

OMG! Who HASN'T heard of her! Very cool lefty pitcher and will help USA do very well with the Olympic games next year. Of course, we also have Jenny Finch, Monica Abbot and Alicia Hollowell on the pitching staff, so it will be fun to watch. I coached Jenny Finch's backup that was at Arizona with her until she transferred to Florida. She played at the HS I coached at as an asst. in the late 90's. Her name was Jenny Gladding. She is now the Florida pitching coach. She blew her elbow her senior year and is now coaching. I really wanted to see her pitch at the olympics. She was such a great player.

Alright, I need help from everybody. I'm going to let my DH have his golf cart. I'm such a good wife. He found this guy in Jersey somewhere that does the custom tins and lift kits and blah blah blah.

Now he wants my two cents on how to have it custom painted. This guy does incredible work. He's sent us pictures and he currently has one posted on ebay with a rebel flag design. My DH definitely wants the rebel flag (he considers himself a rebel) but I'm afraid that would offend some people. Maybe I'm too PC. Anyway, if I had it my way we would paint it pink with flowers.
We need to come to some middle ground. Hubby doesn't have major hobbies nor does he cheer for a particular sports team. College themes are out of the question. I would love to do the the old Mickey design from the Fort but can't imagine that the guy will do it because of trademark issues.

So does anyone have any ideas? Or does anyone else feel that the rebel flag would bother people? I personally don't mind but don't want to offend so if people feel I'm wrong, let me know.

Thanks for any ideas!

I would go with colors you two like and leave the decor to the seasons. Red is a rebel color with the possibility of offending anyone. I liked the "herbie" golf cart and I thought it would be cool to do one that looks like the old trams that used to go through the campground. Also, I've seen a lot of golf carts that are done like old timey cars. (Maybe a VW van?) You can have fun a lot of different ways.

I like Herbie!! Of course my loving husband just said no to that idea. I like your ideas though. Thanks. I think I can browbeat him into Herbie.

I wouldnt be offended by a cart painted with the St Andrews cross (more commonly referred to as the rebel flag) But I am not offended by historical symbols.

I wouldn't be offended, as long as he realizes thr war was over more than 140 years ago and the South did lose.
