Checking off the List

Bell Buckle Tennessee hold a RC Cola and Moon Pie Festival every year. We have lived here for 8 years and I thought it was time to check eating a moon pie with a RC cola off the list of things I would like to do before I am ??.

Summer Sport at the Bass House

Our new sport for the summer is badmitten on a string. No net. There are good reasons to have a string instead of a net: 1. It does't fall down. 2. You don't have to move it to cut grass 3. You can have several different size courts.


Summer Project

Every summer I have tried to save up for a project on the house. We are on the 7th year here and we still have things to do. This year we changed the flooring downstairs. I don't have a before pictures so only you who can remember what our family room looked like can appreciate this. This room was a garage so we had to work with concrete on the floor so laminate hardwoods was the choice. We had to tile the stairs from the kitchen.
Some people think is makes the room look bigger but I think it is the echo from the change of carpet.

End of May

End of May trip to Alabama consisted of riding cousin Jordan's horse and a trip to Jim Bob's which is a chicken place we use to go to when we lived in Auburn.
Back in Murfreesboro, we ended soccer season for Caroline. Below Stephen and Katie Ann are watching as Caroline made her only goal of the year. There are no shots because we got so into that she may score, we forgot to take a picture.
Below is Stephen eating at a pool gathering with school friends. The humidity in Tennessee has doubled so we are spending some time in the pool.

Birthday trip

For my birthday, David and I went to St. Petersburg for the weekend and stayed at the Vinoy. Here is a view from our room. While there, we saw an Auburn friend, Helen, (below)from when David was working at Auburn. Ms. Helen treated us to a great dinner.
One of the great things about the Vinoy was this great porch at the front of the hotel. You could sit and read, people watch or watch what was going on in the bay.
