Sleepover

Carol had a sleepover at Beau's bungalow Friday night. This is what Beau found when she came into the room! Beau slept in the guest room while "Ellie Mae" stayed in the master with the "critters".

The Hunters

Tessa and her husband, Justin, and their son, Drake, spent the night at Beau's house Wednesday night. Justin and Drake left at 4 a.m. and 28 degrees to go duck hunting. As you can see it was a successful hunt. Not so much fun for Tessa and Beau...Sugar and Buddy had to bark an enthusiastic good morning to Drake @ 4 a.m. and then the sound of gunfire began @ 6:15 a.m.! No rest for the weary...

Justin, Drake and duck with bad luck!

Thanksgiving 2008 at Green Acres

We had a beautiful day to celebrate and give thanks!! We ate outside and enjoyed the mild weather and sunshine. Andy, Lindsay, Jeremy, Ebbie and Donnie and Jud an John joined our standard chaos along with all 7 dogs!! As usual, there was way too much food including fried turkey (domestic and wild)...compliments of Beau!! As you can see, there was touch football, singing and napping for the after dinner activities!

Pre-Thanksgiving Oyster Roast

Here is our Pre-Thanksgiving Oyster Roast. Jud, John, Howie and Truvy made the trip from Atlanta for the weekend. We had a total of 15 people and 7 dogs!! The oysters were delicious and the company was VERY entertaining!!

The Birthday Season Commences!

It's birthday season...we start with Dara in late October, then Cami,Phil,Tessa, and Brad in November and Tookie in December. So much cake, so little time... I wasn't brave enough to put the correct # of candles on Cami's cake.

Voting

Carol and Beau stood in line for 1 hr 35 mins @ the Cordesville Fire Dept. to cast our vote. Carol's school had a program for the children to receive a registration and vote at school. She received an extra 100 for going to the polls and watching me vote. The poll worker placed an "I Voted" sticker on the back of her registration card for verification. Way to stick it our Carol!

4th Annual Trunk or Treat

We hosted Swimmin' Hole Lane's 4th Annual Trunk or Treat on Saturday. It was a load of fun with 200+ in attendance! Candy, candy and more candy, followed by hotdogs and hayrides. Life is good in the country!
