Thanksgiving 2011

Pat, Darenda, Luke and myself headed to the Blue Ridge mountains on Sunday the 20th. This was our first stop of the day, The state line of Georgia is where we stopped, great timing for a rest area stop.

The next stop was lunch, we stopped a road side area and enjoyed a nice peaceful lunch in the GA fresh air.

We arrived at our cabin about 4:30 that afternoon, the weather was great and we had a great relaxed evening. I called Terry Christie and ask if we could come and visit him the next day, which we did.

After lunch Terry gave us a guided tour of some of Dalton. As you know is a history buff so we got a great tour. My grandson Luke was memorized by his talks and really enjoyed them.

They knew the Gallo clan had come to town!

This certainly was a meeting of the minds.....

This is a Chapel that was built in the early 40's. Terry told us the the City Of Dalton was using it as a tool shed. They had made i a decision to tear it down....."not on Terry's watch"! That was during the time that terry served on the city council in Dalton. (as you can see on the plaque) Terry made it his project to restore it, and they did and as you can see it is beautiful.

That is the first few days of our trip. The next portion is when the rest of the family show up, that will be another blog.

Have a Blessed day and be a Blessing to someone!

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives” -2 Peter 3:10-11
