Birthday Trip

I celebrated my birthday with a day trip to North Carolina. My daughter and I went to the gorges and I hiked down to see Rainbow Falls. What a site to see. Took about two hours to get to the falls, but was well worth the walk. After that we headed to Highland NC. and took this beautiful picture. I  love driving in the mountains and it was a great day.

Labor Day~2014

It's Labor Day weekend. I done my normal things like walk, taking pictures, and spending time with family. My daughter and I went out yesterday and took pictures of the lake in South Carolina. On our way back the sunset was beautiful. Everyone was stopping at the same spot to grab a pic and I couldn't pass it up either. Here are just a few I took. Enjoy

Pre-School

My oldest grandson started pre-school this past week. The fun has begun. He is learning his alphabet in song. Very sweet. He is a little independent rascal, but at three don't they all get that way. I love seeing his little face light up telling all about what they've done. They took a walk up to see the train and would not let them go in he said, they thought he might get hurt. He turned around and said, "me not get hurt." Of course he would say that he wanted on the train. If you were a kid you would too.

Homegrown

Isn't it a beauty? The sweet taste of that homegrown melon coming straight from your garden. My daddy and mama planted many watermelons and cantaloupe. We have had more rain than usual this year and in doing so, we have these nice melons. Love them cold, love them room temperature. Wishing all of you a great weekend. If you have produce nearby go pay them a visit and buy you something that come off the vine.

Under The Bridge

This is a picture of the bridge crossing the Hartwell Dam. It's been a long time since I have been on the South Carolina side. This is one of the pictures I took. I love bridges, water, waterfalls. Love the natural things of life. I hope you enjoy my pics and maybe even one day get to come and see some of the things I've posted about for yourself.

I Love, I Love

This was another view of Issaqueena Falls. You can go above the falls or you can walk down a rugged path to the bottom. As you can see it was so worth the walk. These children were having so much fun. It was a hot day in Georgia, even though I was in South Carolina at the time. I would have loved to have went further down the falls, but the path was wet and slippery. Maybe another day when the leaves start to change. We shall see. 

Stumphouse

Stumphouse Tunnel is near Isaaqueena Falls. The tunnel measures 17 feet wide by 25 feet high and about     midway in, there is a airshaft that extends 60 feet upwards to the sruface, causing a consistent cool breeze to flow out of the tunnel. Make sure when you come to bring a flashlight to see with. A nice little surprise on the way out of seeing the other falls.
