Tallulah Gorge! Yard! HBirds! Shoes! 9.21.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:46 pm  

Fall is here!

Español! Interesting story about this picture.

OYB!

K and I enjoyed our stay at Quality Inn #102 in Clayton, GA.

We visited the Tallulah Gorge overlook on our way home. Beauty! We’ve been coming here for over forty years.

Beautiful weather.

Bad Suns is one of my favorite bands. Still on the fence whether I’ll go.

It’s been dry here. I watered my plants.

Cleaned and refilled my hummingbird feeders.

Blew my driveway and deck.

I’ll come in first place this week.

My Mom wrote a sweet note to Everly. I printed it out for her.

I also printed out proof of coverage for the Lincoln this evening. When I did that, I noticed that the Mercury was still covered. I wrote a note to make sure this error is rectified.

Cleaned and repainted my shoes. I have new shoelaces for them, too.

Recorded and released Verbal Surgery -1121- “Profoundly Good Person” this afternoon. Good one!

Tallulah Falls, GA! 9.20.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:56 pm  

Español!

I like this Japanese word.

OYB!

Got gas and checked the oil in the Lincoln. Any idea which handle to choose?

Went to Tallulah Falls, GA this morning. Enjoyed a fun hike down to the river. Lots of stairs. All the bike riding made it easy for me.

One of my favorite places in the world. And I’ve seen a lot of it!

I was at the overlook when it started pouring down rain. Sure I was glad I wasn’t at the bottom of the gorge when it hit!

K and I went back to the Dillard House for lunch. So good.

Beautiful.

Fun day!

Dillard, GA! 9.19.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:28 pm  

Crazy talk.

Borderlands 4 research.

This struck me as funny.

OYB!

Español!

Beautiful weather.

K and I went to Dillard House for lunch. They were remodeling.

Dillard is known for antiques. I’ve gotten some cool stuff there in the past but didn’t see anything interesting today, except for this piano, which was a “fixer-upper.”

KAPE! Clayton! N. GA Mountains! 9.18.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:19 pm  

OYB!

Talked to Nana and J about paneer, a type of cheese used in Indian food.

Español!

Great to hang out with J this morning before K and I left on our KT weekend in Clayton.

We sorted out the insurance for the Lincoln with John Thomas.

Got to spend some time with the grandgirls and Ashley this afternoon.

We liked her new comforter and pillows.

We got to Clayton in the N. GA mountain before dark. We are staying at the Quality Inn.

We ate at La Pachanga this evening.

Keep going!

Anthony! PEK! Azalea! 9.17.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:50 pm  

I’m enjoying these quotes.

Español!

OYB!

Confirmed my Mom’s doctor appointment.

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony!

K and I ate curry for lunch at Mirsch Masala.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

Beautiful sunset.

One day at a time. Spent more time talking with Anthony than doing Español. And that’s OK.

Plants! PEKA! Azalea! Goodwill! Groceries! 9.16.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:34 pm  

Interesante!

We changed to our winter schedule today. I started working at Azalea at 3:30 PM. Sunset is at 7:41PM. Next month that will be around 6:30PM. That should keep us from driving home in the dark. Penelope wasn’t happy about not going to Cici’s on “her” day.

Watered my plants.

OYB!

Warm.

Español!

I will repaint my shoes soon and put in some new laces.

Azalea!

Never too much Ashley!

Pup and girls!

Funny!

Went by Goodwill to pick up a carry on bag that I can use for my weekend get-a-way with K.

Picked up groceries!

Don’t stop.

Hike! PEK! Azalea! Bank 9.15.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:02 pm  

Español! Came in second place last week.

I like Eric Barker’s blog.

Beautiful weather.

OYB!

Hiked .83 miles in 26.43 minutes while I studied.

Did the family laundry.

Heard back from my doctor about blood pressure meds as well as PSA readings. Looks like I’m doing fine for now.

K and I picked up the girls and took them to Ponko Chicken. We hadn’t done that since the store was in Stone Mountain over 25 years ago.

Processed and deposited checks. Thank you so much, Father.

Working on the grocery list. K and I are planning on going up to the N. Georgia mountains this weekend. I’ve been a little sick. Hopefully, I won’t get any worse.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

We had one of the Bengali ladies bring some treats for the kids. I say hello to her husband in Bengali when I see him. He was impressed.

We got gas on the way home.

I should come in first place this week.

PE! Six Flags! 9.14.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:16 pm  

OYB!

Español!

The girls loved Nana’s new vanity, chairs and decorations in her room!

K and I took the girls to Bojangles for breakfast.

While we were there, I got our tickets for Six Flags. By getting annual passes, we didn’t have to pay for parking which turned out cheaper than just paying for a one visit trip!

We had a great time.

The girls said they had never seen a phone like this in real life.

We rode the train around the park. I had never done that before.

The girls are at a difficult age: the little stuff is too little and the big rides are too big. We still had fun.

Great day.

Lot of walking.

Coordinated Mom’s PT.

The girls almost always forget something at our house when they leave.

Ordered some new reading glasses. One of the arms broke off of one of my pairs.

I’ll come in second place this week, as I predicted.

Hummingbird! Water! Bike! Family! Trouble! 9.13.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:35 pm  

My blood pressure was a bit high at the doctor’s office last week. I tried several times with our home blood pressure unit and after doing some relaxation techniques it came out well. I let the doctor know. I may still need to be on medication.

Got the instructions for taking the medicine before the colonoscopy next month.

OYB!

Español!

I’m enjoying having a hummingbird feeder near where I study.

Warm today.

Watered my outdoor plants.

I cut down one of my rose bushes. It was pretty much dead. Sad.

Rode my bike 12.40 miles in 1:22 hours. Listened to Don Cheto while I rode.

Ashley and Miles brought the grandgirls over. We are going to Six Flags tomorrow. Great having the family together!

Had fun playing Trouble, although Everly takes winning/losing way too seriously.

Looks like I’ll come in second place this week.

Russell Mann and Family! Recon! 9.12.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:25 pm  

OYB!

Español!

Russell Mann will be bringing a team from his church in Alabama next Summer. I had fun getting to know his family and showing them around the International Village. We visited the Buford Highway Farmers Market, Asian Square, China Town and Plaza Fiesta.

I was contacted by my doctor about my upcoming colonoscopy. I ordered the medicine I need to take before the procedure.

Talked with John Thomas about getting insurance for my Mom’s car.

Took my Mom to get her hair shampooed and blown dry.
