1999 Heart Attack Bush!

Beth visited me on my third day in the hospital after my 1999 heart attack and brought me a pink 6" high forced Azalea to brighten my room.

Here it is today after 9 years of tender loving care in full bloom!

Orlando Airport

This Monday saw a trip to Orlando to visit CVS 204. I could spend a whole day at this beautiful airport with it's fountains and palm trees!

Orlando Airport's life span has been short and spectacular; the first scheduled international service did not lift off from its runways until 1984. The airport has gone from redundant Air Force base to a 30 million plus passenger airport in 20 years.
The closure of the McCoy Air Force Base gave Orlando its start. Surplus land was given to the city for an airport facility and in 1975 the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority was born.
The following year the base was re-named Orlando International Airport and by 1978 it had claimed the title 'fastest growing airport in the US'. Six years of steady growth saw Orlando acquire a new terminal, an international concourse and, significantly, launch Orlando Tradeport which was to establish the airport as a major trade center for Central Florida.
By now the Sunshine State's man-made as well as natural attractions had visitors flocking in from all parts of the globe, with Walt Disney World a star performer. The 1980s were a boom and decision time for Orlando Airport. The pressure was on as airlines lined up for slots, international services to Europe took off and business traffic increased.
It meant a second expansion program which resulted in the building of a third runway and a third airside terminal. By 1992 passenger numbers had hit the 20 million mark and as they go on rising Orlando has kept pace with development through an imaginative development program.
Alongside all these people are the petals, millions of them. Central Florida is the biggest exporter of flowers, plants and nursery stock by air in the US and Orlando handles 80% of it. It even has its own Department of Agriculture plant inspection station and perishables center.
Orlando is managing a continuing program of expansion. It is the airport which, you could say, has become the real McCoy.

"Georgia A Blooming"

These pictures were taken this evening outside Beth's parents home. The first is a Dogwood Tree and the other is a Red bud Tree. The whole state is full of blooming trees and with it comes the pollen!

Orange Beach AL

This week took me to beautiful Orange Beach AL and our newest CVS store! I know I have a tuff job, lol!

Located on Alabama's Gulf Coast, you can escape to one of many Orange Beach vacation home rentals. Orange Beach is just a few short hours from Birmingham, Montgomery, Jackson, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge. The area has an average annual temperate of 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Though the population of Orange Beach is relatively small, it lays claim to one of the most beautiful beaches in Alabama. During the summer months, however, Orange Beach is very popular among families and tourists of all ages. With its white sand, the Alabama Gulf Coast is a perfect vacation spot, with championship golf courses, deep sea charter fishing trips, various wildlife areas, and historic sites.

Big Bucket Of Bacon Wedding!

Beth's friend and former co-worker Elizabeth Cooley Loring is seen here begging for bacon after her nuptials last evening at the The Farm Country Club in Dalton GA!

Easter Egg Hunt

This years Easter egg hunters Madalen, Isiah, Gabriel and Joseph did very well with Gabriel collecting 32 eggs.

Terrier in Spring!

Janie enjoyed her day frolicing in the spring sun shine while I caught up on my lawn work.

I think this may be the year I hire a lawn person!

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has finally arrived in Georgia with all the flowering trees and shrubs in bloom. Spring along with fall are my two favorite seasons in the south. I have grown to dislike snow and I hate the southern summer heat! Thank God for AC!!

Holly Springs Tornado

Our friend Chris was able to get this pictute from our local Krogers store of the tornado hitting the town of Holly Springs located just north of Woodstock.

Holly Springs-area historical tornado activity is slightly above Georgia state average. It is 91% greater than the overall U.S. average.

Great picture Chris!!

Tornado Warning

This video shows the storm racing by us to our north. Sirens can be heard in the background!

Watching For Tornados

The past twenty four hours has seen the most tornados on the ground in recent time here in Georgia with one devastating Atlanta’s downtown area.
The storms caused by a low pressure cell over MS and AL sent wave after wave of strong thunderstorms building as they swept along at almost fifty miles per hour.
Two such cells barely missed us swiping just miles north of us in which two people were killed.
Here’s an obviously concerned Beth and Janie watching the storms swipe by north of us around 11:15 AM Saturday morning!
