AWWWWWWWWW, I :ding: the picture of Shadow....I miss that doggy. He's such a good boy.... So lovable.
How much do you want to bet that I could finished all of my food at Bubba's? Looks like you're all having a nice time there in your pink shirts. How long do you get to stay? Or did I miss that.......
Guess before too long Bill will be outside setting off the fireworks, and if I know him he probably bought some really cool ones!!!!
Not sure if I'll ever make it back out there, but it's def. a place where good friends on here should try to visit if they can. It's a place you never forget.
Great picture! And what are you doing up at "breaking dawn"?

Cute, I think deer are so pretty. Did you have a lot of deer in KY Cindy?
I would've posted more in this topic but it's been on heck of a busy weekend for me........non stop today and yesterday.
Is Shirley napping a lot because the time change has her messed up? That 3 hours is a big adjustment. Is this their last night there?
Wouldn't it be cool if each and everyone of us had the chance to visit Cedar Hill to see it's beauty? And just the mountains covered in snow are a site to behold. Mark couldn't get over that.
Dodge........Members Galleria where we can post several pictures at once.
Shirely says to Loz "I was napping because it was a chilly, sleepy kind of day, and Cindy went to lay down so I went to lay down too,, But Not together,, and My belly was full of Bubba's too.. " Diane is typing this for me because after all I'm on vacation ,
My response to Shirley,,,,,,,,,,,,<--
When I met Shirley at the airport in Sea,, I gave her the side whistle face gremblin as soon as she spotted me,,,

I think it's great that Diane is Shirley's secretary!!!
But Shirley... be careful of what Diane writes here that supposedly came out of your mouth!
So glad that you all are taking it easy, and breathing the clean fresh mountain air there! And napping, and chatting, and eating, and seeing... terrific!!!

Well everyone, all I can say is.....I said to cindy that even if I ask for another drink, not to give me one!!!!
I'm trying now to do my own typing. I won't be able to post any pictures until after I get home and edit my picturesw and get them into my PC....by that time this topic will all be over with!!!!!
Well I might just start a topic in the Gallery then about My time on CH.
the fire works were great last night. when we would all three take a picture of the swame one each of our picturews were totally different!!!!! Pretty cool!!!!!
When I leave here I will take a train across the state to see my son and his family in Spokane.
I tried looking up that blue bush, but nothing blue came up - only white flowers?
This is what I found...
Quote
Viburnum tinus (Laurastinus) Leathery dark green foliage, new stems are wine-red, pink buds open white, lightly fragrant, blue/black berries. Likes a cooler location. A yellow variegated cultivar has been introduced that is very attractive. This plant is relatively small and compact, to 4'.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
I just got home for the night and could not wait to see what you all have been up to. I AM SO GLAD THE TWO OF YOU ARE THERE! I wish I could have made this trip with you but I WILL BE THERE FOR THE NEXT! The pics are simply gorgeous and I love the one of all three of you in your shirts!..........and the one of my giggles in the HH..........and the one..........ok.......ALL OF THEM! Have some more fun and I will check in sometime tomorrow. :ding:
if i remember bill telling us right, it is because the leaves have leached color into the water making it root beer brown. and when the falls stir it up, it gives it the look of root beer.
loz, remember how i hopped around and climbed around like scott? we had so much fun there.

Diane, is your hubby fairing well by himself? I'd hate leaving Mark, it's hard to tell what I'd come home to.
I guess he is, I haven't talked with him since I left there, It's kinda like,, unless something is wrong we don't call each other on Vacation, just go and have a good time and I'll see ya when you get back!

It is so beautiful seeing all the plants. I love every little flower!!
and the deer were so cool to watch yesterday. they would just stand there and let diane and I watch them without any fear!!!
Loz, it is going to be so cool to take that train ride. I've never been on one and I am going to pretend I'm on the Orient Express!! LOL
