It was great to be with BOTH of our children this Christmas!
\n\"m\"<\/p>\n

I was grateful to my son in law, Miles, that he let his wife come with us! Ashley and Jesse make every trip awesome!<\/p>\n

Kathy and I are big fans of Duck Dynasty.
\n\"d\"
\n We spent time in West Monroe going and coming home.
\n\"f\"
\nOn the loading dock where they made the duck pond.
\n\"d\"<\/p>\n

It was great to meet John Godwin!
\n\"g\"<\/p>\n

We saw our friends Luther and Cheryl White in Georgetown. They worked with us in Atlanta recently with a team from the Worship Place.
\n\"v\"<\/p>\n

Ashley, Kathy and I spoke to a Sunday School class at FBC Georgetown, TX. They were a sweet group of ladies!
\n\"a\"
\n\"a\"<\/p>\n

Ashley and I joined my brother Jim and his wife Kathy and their daughter Katie to explore the Armadillo Fair.
\n\"a\"
\n\"a\"
\nIt’s a big craft place. Really top of the line, interesting stuff.
\n\"a\"
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

I liked the pictures from the Armadillo World Headquarters.
\n\"s\"
\n I saw some great bands there.
\n\"f\"
\n Frank Zappa was my favorite.
\n\"a\"
\n\"a\"
\n\"a\"
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

We enjoyed listening to my brother sing and play guitar.
\n\"j\"
\nFun to sit by the fire.
\n\"d\"<\/p>\n

My kids were glad to be back in Texas.
\n\"a\"<\/p>\n

Ashley helped me wrap gifts.
\n\"a\"<\/p>\n

Like the paper?
\n\"b\"<\/p>\n

Fun with the whole family on Christmas.

Christmas light over kill.

\nAlways beautiful things to see on the road!
\n\"f\"
\n\"t\"
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

I found a deer antler for Ashley.
\n\"a\"
\n\"a\"
\nTwo of my favorite girls!
\n\"d\"<\/p>\n

We installed a new wireless printer for my Mom. Now she can print from her iPad since that’s her primary computer now.
\n\"p\"<\/p>\n

It was 992 miles to my parent’s house from Stone Mountain.
\n\"9\"
\n Sure was a great team to ride with.
\n\"k\"<\/p>\n

Interesting visuals with shadows.
\n\"e\"
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

These pictures are from Nakuru, Kenya where I used to live. They are in my Mom’s bathroom.
\n\"n\"
\n\"n\"
\n\"v\"<\/p>\n

Ashley likes chocolate.
\n\"a\"
\nI invented a gun that shoots rainbows.
\n\"r\"
\nWeird.
\n\"w\"
\nHmmm.
\n\"d\"<\/p>\n

I like making images with lights.
\n\"l\"
\n\"l\"<\/p>\n

Even though the gas station has been closed for years and there’s NO gas. . . still looks scary.
\n\"s\" I wanted to recreate the Zoolander gas scene, my wife said no.<\/p>\n

You can never have enough.
\n\"c\"
\nOuch.
\n\"o\"<\/p>\n

Interesting turbulence in these clouds. Look at the rounded structures underneath. And the ragged edges on the side.
\n\"c\"
\n\"c\"
\n\"c\"<\/p>\n

Beautiful sunset to end the trip with.

Saturday I gave myself a haircut. Paid all the bills. Enjoyed playing with Ash and Milo’s dog Moog at our house. Cold and rainy today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
