After my marathon 35 day straight work schedule it was awesome to have a break!

Kathy and I trekked up to Alpine Lodge next to Raccoon Mountain near Chattanooga.

It reminds me of Kenya!

I loved the wild flowers!

And this moth!

We had a fun time exploring the city on our bikes. I enjoy shooting bricks that show perspective.

We enjoyed watching the horse and listening to the cow moo.

This always makes me sad.

Talk about a parking problem!

This was some GREAT BBQ!

I enjoyed looking at the grave monuments. Notice how the angel is wearing flip flops!

Creative names, eh?

Good to know who you’re with.

I dig hands.

The highlight of our trip was the zoo!



I liked this Swahili! The box was from Dar!

I remember seeing camels in Niger!

Ever heard me hoot like an owl?

Some of the animals looked pretty hot! It was!

I dig Jaguars!

They had a dinosaur exhibit at the zoo. Groovy!

I think the chimps would have liked these.

They just sat around like this.

Had my 53rd birthday on Tuesday!

I received over 300 greetings on FaceBook! Groovy!

I visited the Delta Queen! What a beauty!

Beautiful bridge!

Always a good idea!

Watch out for this!

Enjoyed reading Cialdini’s book on Persuasion. Fascinating stuff.

Wrote 100 new proverbs on my birthday! Prolific!

Fortunately, I’m a Road Warrior, so I can keep up with my work no matter where I am.

Sure am glad I have Jesse to help me with the Financial reports. I hate inputting all that data. We usually split the work up so it’s not too bad for either of us.

Had a safe drive back home. Checked on the office at the church. Made a bunch of phone calls to verify all the locations are set for the teams coming next week. We’ll cover eight locations

Tomorrow I have an Outreach Event in Lawrenceville to host. Should be fun!

GREAT to be back home! Surprisingly cool!

Beautiful sunsets!
