Sunset on the Pier by Osprey Nest

May 13, 2022 Yesterday, Bruce drove the truck down to the pier so we would have time to arrive before sunset. The sun was a magnificent ball of red-orange setting over Lake Guntersville. While the sun was setting, an Osprey swept past the pier many times. It would land, then it was winging over the […]

Fireflies and Stargazing

May 4, 2022 Last week, I thought it would be fun to walk down to the pier and stargaze. From the end of the pier, the view over Lake Guntersville provides a wide open space to see the sky. As we walked down to the water, we saw fireflies flashing alongside the road and then […]

What Was in the Woods?

April 29, 2022 Bruce took Nox out for her last walk tonight. Nox was very excited by some noises she heard in the woods. Bruce heard a branch breaking and then in the light from the flashlight, he saw two possums race out of the woods and climb another tree along the edge of the […]

Sunset on the Pier

April 26, 2022 I wanted to view the sunset from the pier, so Bruce and I walked the mile to pier. We did not take Nox as she was already tired. It was a beautiful orange gold sunset with a little bit of pink along the edges. We saw an Osprey skimming over the water […]

Campfire at Sunset

April 22, 2022 Earlier this week, Bruce found a motorcycle shop with good reviews. He called them to set up an appointment to have them take a look at his motorcycle. The oil needs to be changed and the rear brakes need to be serviced. Bruce also wanted them to look at the front brakes […]

Hiking the Trail at River Ridge Retreat

April 19, 2022 Yesterday, just after noon, we headed out to hike the trail marked for hiking at the River Ridge Retreat. It is marked on the campground map and we found the map of the hiking trail to be accurate. So many trail maps are just suggestions of where the trail might be. It […]

What a Weekend!

April 17, 2022 Friday, we rode the motorcycle back to B. J. Reece’s Apple Barn and pick up a peck of Elite Crisp apples. We then rode into Ellijay for dinner at the Cajun Depot. I will just say I cannot recommend the Cajun Depot and leave it at that. Friday evening at Talona Ridge […]

Not All Fun Times

April 7, 2022 We aren’t always doing fun things. Yesterday, Bruce took the truck to get the oil changed, fuel filter changed, oil filter changed, etc. While Bruce was handling the truck stuff, I finished entering the numbers for our taxes. To get the final numbers, I had to call to find out how to […]

Talona Ridge RV Resort in Elijah, GA

April 4, 2022 After we finished our shopping at Walmart, we drove the half a mile to the new campground, Talona Ridge RV Resort. We are planning to stay here for two weeks. This is a brand new campground and not all sections are open yet. They plan to have more sections open part way […]

Plans Fall Through, Dry Camping at a Rest Area on I-75

April 4, 2022 Since we only could get two nights at Victoria Campground, Bruce had reserved a month for us at another campground, Allatoona Landing Marina and Campground. Bruce checked in an then we slowly drove to the spot. Kids wizzed past on bicycles, skates, and scooters as we made our way slowly around the […]
