Trip To Cleveland

Deb and I were able to slip away for one night to see Randy, Katie and Rody. We were in West Minister, SC Saturday Afternoon for a Wedding and hit Hwy 76 toward Cleveland. We drove for about 3 hours and was thrilled to see them all. Boy! What joy when Rody held his little arms up and headed toward me to pick him up. He is something else. I love this picture I took of Katie and Rody. Debbie read some books to Rody and I rocked him that night.

Rody is so sweet, he loves for you to read to him.

I was dressed in a windsuit and when the flash of the camera went off it would light me up and cause the picture to be dark.

Back to the Cruise

Well! I have not taken any new pictures, but I need to add a new post, so---o, I'm going back to the cruise. I hope you enjoy. This is a picture of our ship from the island we were on.

All of these pictures were taken at dinner one night.

Fishing Trip in Florida

The Company where I work and one of our Suppliers took us down to Fort Lauderdale, FL for a fishing trip. We fished two days and had a great time. Our Company Owner here had just landed this hammer head shark 6'-3" about 175lbs. I was able to reel in this big king fish about 50" long. The First Mate with me here said that it would be hard to catch a bigger one in those waters.

When our boat got back into the dock they hung up our catch of that day minus the hammer head which is going to be mounted. We learned that most boats didn't have any catch for that day.

This hammer head was caught on day two and topped the other one by about a foot and maybe 50lbs. The two men to the right landed this one, both are named John.

Here's the Sportsmen on the boat. Below is a picture of the reels we used.

This was the Hotel we stayed in.

We went out to the Everglades and took a tour on a air boat.

Most of South Florida gets their drinking water out of here. We saw some alligators and one crock

Christmas Eve 2008

Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve when we went over to Ford's parents house. We had a good time. Crawford, Ford, Stephanie, Cindy, Debbie and Myself.

OH Yes! Santa was watching from the front window.

AFTER CHRISTMAS DOLLYWOOD TRIP

We went to Dollywood and had a great time. The lights were all great but our pictures didn't do them justice. Rody was such a CHAMP, He was very good and when he got tired he would take a nap. It was such fun to have our family together like this. A lady said she would take our picture so all of us could be in it, that was nice of her.

Randy and Katie was riding the Scrambler and I was watching Rody who was taking a nap. I just love these pictures that I was able to get. How Precious! That's a Grandpa's Boy there!

These were taken over at the train when we were taking a snack break.

Rody was clapping for us here.

Giving me that look in this one.
