After my marathon 35 day straight work schedule it was awesome to have a break!<\/p>\n

Kathy and I trekked up to Alpine Lodge next to Raccoon Mountain near Chattanooga.
\n\"tk\"<\/p>\n

\"k\"
\nIt reminds me of Kenya!
\n\"k\"
\nI loved the wild flowers!
\n\"f\"
\n\"d\"
\n\"g\"
\n\"f\"
\n\"p\"
\n\"r\"
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

And this moth!
\n\"m,\"<\/p>\n

We had a fun time exploring the city on our bikes. I enjoy shooting bricks that show perspective.
\n\"b\"<\/p>\n

We enjoyed watching the horse and listening to the cow moo.
\n\"h\"<\/p>\n

This always makes me sad.
\n\"tt\"<\/p>\n

Talk about a parking problem!
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

This was some GREAT BBQ!
\n\"sr\"<\/p>\n

I enjoyed looking at the grave monuments. Notice how the angel is wearing flip flops!
\n\"a\"
\nCreative names, eh?
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

Good to know who you’re with.
\n\"t\"
\nI dig hands.
\n\"3h\"\"h\"<\/p>\n

The highlight of our trip was the zoo!
\n\"c\"
\n\"t\"
\n\"cc\"
\n I liked this Swahili! The box was from Dar!
\n\"k\"<\/p>\n

I remember seeing camels in Niger!
\n\"c\"
\n\"p\"
\n\"pd\"<\/p>\n

Ever heard me hoot like an owl?
\n\"o\"
\nSome of the animals looked pretty hot! It was!
\n\"c\"
\nI dig Jaguars!
\n\"j\"<\/p>\n

They had a dinosaur exhibit at the zoo. Groovy!
\n\"d\"
\n\"tr\"
\n\"p\"<\/p>\n

I think the chimps would have liked these.
\n\"c\"
\nThey just sat around like this.
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

Had my 53rd birthday on Tuesday!
\n\"t\"
\n\"tk\"<\/p>\n

I received over 300 greetings on FaceBook! Groovy!<\/p>\n

I visited the Delta Queen! What a beauty!
\n\"dq\"
\n\"r\"
\n\"s\"
\n\"ww\"
\n\"d\"<\/p>\n

Beautiful bridge!
\n\"b\"<\/p>\n

Always a good idea!
\n\"cb\"<\/p>\n

Watch out for this!
\n\"t\"
\n\"ar\"<\/p>\n

Enjoyed reading Cialdini’s book on Persuasion. Fascinating stuff.<\/p>\n

Wrote 100 new proverbs on my birthday! Prolific!<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I’m a Road Warrior, so I can keep up with my work no matter where I am. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I have an Outreach Event in Lawrenceville to host. Should be fun!<\/p>\n

GREAT to be back home! Surprisingly cool!<\/p>\n

Beautiful sunsets!
