...Yesterday, we stepped back in time!

...back to the days in 1800s at  Travelers Rest Historic site for the Pioneer Day in Stephens County, GA.

...then it was time to go back to the reality of the 21st Century and our four-legged kids who were at home waiting for our return.

...both kids were rewarded with special goodies for being good at home! How do we know that they were good in our absents? Nothing within our home was destroyed! Thats how!


*Psalm 43:4
Then I will go to the altar of God, 
to God, my joy and my delight. 
I will praise you with the harp, 
O God, my God
