Weekends here are always busy, if you’ve been following along with my journal you’d likely know that. But busy is not always bad, as some times the things that need to be done are really wants. This was one such busy weekend that was thoroughly enjoyed. Saturday morning it started with Cyndi swapping cars with Amanda on her way home from working the nightshift. She brought Perrin along with her so his mama could get a few things done around the house. Cyndi then swung by here to pick me up, and then we headed over to Shannon’s to pick up Lakota. The plan was to swing by the Cemetery to plant some flowers on Cyndi’s mother’s grave, and after that we headed up the mountain for a bit of sight seeing, and some tranquility that can only be found along the creeks there. We stopped at Telico Grains Bakery for some munchies, and a little place called “Seven Sister’s Honey Acres” and got a few little nifty things (including some yummy honey sticks). Then it was up the Cherohala Skyway we went… We stopped at one of the various lookouts to have a picnic and some sightseeing. While we were there we had races around the picnic table. Of course Perrin and Lakota kept beating me…I’m not the young man I used to be. After all that running I sat down on a log to rest. Perrin, in an attempt to make me feel better, sat down beside me. After a short rest we walked up a quarter mile, paved trail to the lookout. On the way up we spotted something stinky up the way which turned out to be bear poo, which we walked around holing our noses. The rest of the walk we kept our eyes pealed for the relieved animal that relieved itself. We eventually made it to the look out, though the sun was in our eyes so the pictures didn’t turn out that well, but the images are something we’ll likely not forget. On the way back we stopped to change perrin’s diaper, which gave Lakota some quiet time with Annebelle. After we left there it was off to the Santeetlah Creek. It simply must be the most magickal place in existence… see for yourself! Lakota and Perrin had a blast trying to skip a few stones, and rather then explaining it here I’ll just let the video speak for itself. You can check out more pics HERE (I'll update it tomorrow with more pix) and more video HERE.
