Beautiful at this resort.

Kathy was joking with me today telling me how different this is from where we normally stay! Usually we can smell curry cooking from the leasing office!

Kathy has been sick today. Running a slight fever and aching. Hopefully she’ll be better tomorrow.

So I did stuff that K doesn’t like. Namely looking around at malls and watching movies.

I went to a super cool rock/mineral place today! I love finding new pieces for my collection of quartz/amethyst. These two are truly incredible.

I love the finger size of this point. And remember, it came out of the ground just like this!

This is a very rare double sided quartz crystal.

Did you know that under pressure these crystals give off a slight electric current?

This is called Labrodorite. It’s found in Mexico. I love the color glintz in the stone.

I saw Avatar in 3D. What an amazing movie. Especially for tree huggers like me.

Pray that Kathy feels better!

Cold morning here!

Kathy and I shot out of Stone Mountain about 2pm this afternoon on our way to Orlando, FL!

A friend let us stay at his time share. It’s a beautiful place: the Marriott Cypress Harbour.

Took us about seven hours to get here.

About 452 miles in all.

We saw a lot of cars from Michigan and from Ontario on their way south. Lot of them had salt from the roads on their vehicles.

I like Palm trees

Beautiful sunset on our way.

Thank you Lord for the safe trip!

I liked this big cow!

Kathy and I had fun today!

We took a field trip to the High Museum to see the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit.

I love being downtown shooting pictures of the buildings.

I have two heroes: Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci. Both guys were artists, musicians and writers besides scientists and inventors.

I like the idea of being a Renaissance man.

Here’s Mr. Tim’s tip for the day.

If you have a Bank of America ATM/Visa card you can go for free to the exhibit as long as you have your card with you and it’s the first weekend of the month.

Free is free, baby.

There was a huge line for the place. I walked to the very head of the line and talked to a supervisor. I said I’d called ahead and had my Visa card and could I get a ticket now? She said sure and printed them off right there! We waited in line to go upstairs for about thirty minutes then went right on in.

It was a great exhibit showing many of his sketches for the huge bronze horse he wanted to make.

It was fun to be that close to a real genius.

Been working on the Outreach Update archiving project for hours today. Got it finished! Jesse will be putting it on line soon.

All the newsletters in full color, just as I originally laid them out. I think it’s pretty cool. The stories are great!

We had a nice supper with Kathy’s brother Bill and his girlfriend Deborah, Kathy’s sisters Ann and Ruth and her Husband, David last night. We met at Jason’s Deli.

I got a call from a friend of a friend of mine that offered us a free time share at the Marriott in Orlando for a week. His daughter went into labor 6 weeks early. They’d already paid for the place and wanted someone to enjoy it! Kathy and I will be leaving for Florida on Sunday after church.

As my brother Marco would tell me, “Don’t stop the blessings!”

Did you know it was a “Blue Moon” last night? That’s when there are two full moons in one month.
