Nationwide Is On Your Side

Matt and G are explaining Avatar:  The Last Airbender to me, and they are explaining the Air, Water, Fire, and Earth nations to me.  All of a sudden, Chip burst out into the Nationwide theme song.

(For those of you viewing this on Facebook, the video is on our blog, http://complementaryangles.blogspot.com.)

PJs, Pine, Piedmont, and Pigskins

We went to Book Fair on Tuesday evening. It was lots of fun. The theme was "Reading Around The World." They had lots of different kinds of cookies, and some of the teachers read to the kids.

It was PJs and pancakes day yesterday at school for the letter of the week, P:

M and I went hiking yesterday while Chip was in school:

Here are some pics from this morning at Piedmont Park with our friends and their goddaughters, including our goddaughter:

Here are some of G's pics from the park today:

Here is some video of G and M playing. I didn't notice at the time, but there is a wedding party in the background about to say their "I dos". They were married down next to Lake Clara Meer.

Today, football season started, so we wore our shirts, raised the flag, and cheered "Mickishan" on to VICTORY! Go Blue!

Back Down To Earth

On our way down the mountain.  This is our second favorite spot there, great rocks to boulder (as in rock climbing) on.  Unfortunately, I dinged my wedding ring on these rocks a couple minutes after taking this photo, when I went down and started to climb them, but hopefully it will buff out next time we take it to be cleaned.

Friday Morning Summit

We are atop Pine Mountain, elevation 1562 feet above sea level.  We can see boats (but only two) on Lake Allatoona, I-75 and US41, a gigantic power plant about ten miles away, but most of all, lots and lots of green trees.  There are so many birds up here that we can hear their wings flapping, a lizard just ran by, and just to prove the warning signs right, yellow jackets are making their presence known. 

<p><br><p>Not a bad way to spend a Friday morning, eh?
