Life in Chattanooga

Good Morning!!!

Here we are in Chattanooga Tennessee just a few hours from seeing our boy. Haven't been blogging as the computer is acting up and I need my one on one support from my little computer expert (really, is there anything that child cannot do?) Call me prejudiced but the truth is the truth.

It has been raining here for the past 2 days and this place is kinda muddy, not good for the dogs. The guy behind us has a motor home and he has at least 6 dogs in there, it is unreal. I have found out one thing about this life, someone is always watching you. So you need not do anything embarassing.

We took the incline rail up Lookout Mountain and it was amazing, a little hairy for the height impaired (me). There are 3 huge attractions here, the incline, Rock Gardens, and Ruby falls (I think the latter is like Howes Caverns).

This place is a heaven for the Antique enthusiast, a whole mall devoted to antiques.

Just a little note about where we were before this. We were in Stone Mountain, Georgia and the park is hard to find words to fully describe its lovliness. Just fabulous, mountains, lakes, streams, covered bridges, a grist mill, miles and miles of walking, hiking and biking trails. And, we were here off season so it was fairly quiet. Definitely a place to stay for a month. RV park was fabulous as well. The only fly in the ointment (did I just say that?) is the driving......horrendous, they are like animals. No southern hospitality on the roads to Atlanta. The fella next to us lived close by and told us that a directional doesnt mean left or right, it means get out of my way I am coming over. (sheesh) I didnt feel comfortable getting in the car and going to the store on my own.

It is hard to believe it is almost a month since we left NY. All is well except Bob has been brutal at canasta. How can he keep getting all those reds? I hate him and he thinks its funny. I havent thrown the cards yet but have used some pretty harsh language on him. He just keeps chuckling and saying hes sorry (sorry my achin foot). I will keep plugging and hope my time is coming to snicker and call him the "loser"

It is 8:30 in the morning on Monday the 23rd and the three bums are still in bed. It must be too chilly to get out of the nest (poor babies)

In 2 days we will be at the kids house in TN for Turkey Day. I can't wait. It will be the first since they were in Fla. Need a "kid" fix.

Went to Calvary Chapel in Chattanooga and it was awesome. Didnt get a chance to meet the pastor but found out later he is a friend of Robs. The whole experience was great, message, music, church......it was huge. I really liked Pastor Frank too!!!!!Not as great as Pastor Rob,go figure. (yes, yes I am)so sue me!!!!!

Going to be a tough holiday season this year as Tim was so much a part of the season for me so I am sort of glad not to be home. One thing that is getting to me is everywhere I go I want to buy him a t-shirt as I always did and the reality of that keep hitting me in the face and heart. I just naturally go look at the shirts, I am going to try to avoid them as it hurts too much right now. I am finding it is the little things that get you. Things you just took for granted. I miss him so much. I was thinking the other day as I was thinking about him, I wonder if they think of us in heaven or are they so busy loving on God that we arent a part of their baing any more. Its just that I think of him so much and wonder these crazy little things. This is some of Chbunnie's Musings.

OK, gotta go.....the Canasta King is up and already talking about beating me. I will beat him with a stick.

Till we meet again
