How To Build A House In Georgia

1. Get a beautiful lot- about 1.5 ac

2. Clear the bad trees and keep the good ones. Use quality equipment.












3. Make your way back to the marshy bog... if you
have one. We do :)











4. Chat with Jess and Johnny. Say "recon" and
"kindly" a lot. Ex. I recon we'll kindly place your house right there.












5. Make a driveway. Dig and pour the footings. No, we did not forget the basement step... I recon we don't have basements in these parts. See... we're
getting good at it!

The Georgia National Fair

Last Saturday we ventured out of Tifton to Perry, Ga- home of the Georgia National Fair! We got there pretty late- so we weren't sure if we would get to see any good 'ole livestock showing (wranglers and the funny boots with fringes). Thankfully- we caught best of show! This 6 yr old seemed to win based on "her exceptional mammary system". (insert immature joke)
I have to say... it was exceptional.

Then we made our way to the food. Mmm. Fair food. Everything was pretty similar to home- except for the turkey legs! Corn dog, funnel cake, and turkey legs (like at Medieval Times).

As we digested the fair goodness, we had to check out the games and rides. We didn't partake- but we did enjoy! F.Y.I there is now not only the Starship 2000... there is also the Starship 3000. Luke was quite disappointed by the Georgia version of "Der Schpookin Barn" (enjoy my german spelling- my pronunciation is much better)

just an update

ok- so I haven't been the best blogger lately. I've been trying to persuade my husband to post something... not really his highest priority right now. So, Luke has been working... a lot. It's going to be like this for a little while- but we knew it would. I've been thoroughly enjoying my time at home- sewing, painting, playing with my camera, and who knows what else. I've also been substitute teaching- which is nice for a change- but i do prefer being an art teacher... not so much the math teacher. So, that's the general update. Short and sweet.

Tifton is really high tech.
