On Tuesday we met friends from Bradenton for lunch, Ron & Dawn Allen along with their son Levi. They have a home in Haysville NC, we met in between at Murphy NC. There is a little restaurant in Murphy call "Shoebooty's" that we like and that's where we ate. We then went back to their new home to visit for a while, it is a beautiful home. When we left I stopped at my favorite used book store and bought several James Patterson books. (my favorite author) Tuesday evening the rest of the Marvin's arrived, Doug and Tyler. The next morning was sausage gravy and biscuit time. The girls only ate biscuits and boring scrambled eggs. After Doug rested (as you can see) we planned a days outing.       We went to Copper Hill Tenn, which was known for ore mining in the early 30's. We watch a short slide show of its history and then a man spoke to ask and permitted us to ask questions. (it was quite interesting). After that we visited the museum where we saw many...

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........
