Georgia On My Mind

We are now in a two week visit to the State of Georgia. So far, it seems the Governor's prayer for rain is working. The picture is the boyhood home of President Jimmy Carter in Plains, GA. Also visited were the Andersonville Civil War POW Camp, the National POW Museum and National Cemetery. From here we will be heading to Greensboro, GA where we will base to visit Atlanta and Augusta. Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? On Sunday, Mom and Dad celebrated their 40th anniversary.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

From the panhandle of Florida, Mom, Dad and I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and families. May you all have a wonderful holiday. While enjoying the holiday, please take a few moments to pause and remember our servicemen and servicewomen who are not able to be with their families while they are protecting our freedom.

Florida Visit

Hello from Florida. Today we arrived in Okaloosa County, Florida. We will be here for a week visiting old friends. Okaloosa County is where Mom and Dad met and got married. Both sons, David and Trevor, were born here. This is where Dad was a deputy sheriff before leaving for the jewelry security profession. Today was a long trip from Kinder, LA. We had to make a long detour as I-10 was closed between Lafayette, LA and Baton Rouge, LA because of an oil pipeline fire near the highway.

Coushatta Indian Reservation

We are camping for the next couple of days at the Coushatta Indian Reservation in Louisiana. Do you think I could pass for an indian brave? In the Coushatta language, I am an IF'A, which means dog. This is a beautiful park. Thanks to our friends Skeeter, Debbie, Bob and Marilyn for telling us about this park. This is the first stop on our slow trip back to South Carolina. I will keep you informed of our travels.

Columbus, Texas

Today we left Medina Lake and my friends Taffy and Snickers and all the deer. We are now in Columbus, TX on the bank of the Texas Colorado River. We enjoyed our time at Medina Lake but this is a pretty park, too. We will be here for 10 days, relaxing and visiting some old Florida friends, who now live in Smithville, TX. Take care friends and keep in touch.

I am now a "Service Dog"

Because of Mom's disability, under the ADA, I am now a "Service Dog" because I help her with her mobility. Under the law, I can now accompany her anywhere she goes as long as I wear my Service Dog vest. I also have a tag that states "Service Dog Access - Must Be Permitted By Law". If anyone questions this, then they have to call the Department of Justice.

I now have a very responsible job!
