Here's the closeup of Bob's t-shirt! And he willingly wore it without any threats.

See last posting for full photo including Bob's face!!

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Here's Big Bob celebrating Christmas with his new Tee! In the next post I will show a closeup! I haven't figured out how to get two photos uploaded from Picasa to our blog on the same post!

We are off from Christmas Eve day through Saturday so we are going to my sister Jodi's for her annual Open House on Christmas Eve. She has done this for 20 years and I have not been able to be there!

Then on Christmas Day, we are taking Mom and Dad downtown to see Centennial Park (Olympic venue) and the decorated trees there. We have reservations at a seafood restaurant, Legal Seafood! Funny name but heard the food is good.

Merry Christmas to all !

Cooper's Furnace, Cartersville, Georgia

As promised, here's the photo of the furnace at the day use area of Lake Allatoona where Tom and Bev volunteer. This was part of a mill that existed to make pig iron. A train brought the materials in and remains of the trestle are nearby. As you can see, the Corp of Engineers have fenced it off but for special occasions they allow it to be used for a backdrop for wedding pictures.

The Tourist Thing, take two

Here we are with Bob, the weatherman. Couldn't figure out how to get this pix into my previous posting so made a new one. My brain is fried from all this new stuff. But I am proud, so very proud that I got this far! Next project: learn to download videos I have made. Not today!

Doing the Tourist thing!

Well, well well.......I am just as proud as a peacock. I have mastered the art of transferring my photo files from my camera to my PC. I thought it only fitting to show you the most recent first.

We had the opportunity to go on a VIP tour of CNN Morning News Express show this week. For those not familiar with Robin Meade, she is the anchor on that show, Monday thru Friday, 6-10 AM EST. Bob and I have been watching that show for about 2 years and enjoy all of the on air personalities. We had no idea that we would be the only ones on the tour Thursday and therefore got special treatment. Got to stay in the control room for several minutes and actually see and hear what they do. Even allowed us to stand right behind all the various directors and see first hand how a TV show is produced. Pretty cool.

Then we had a meet and greet with Robin and Company. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. As you can see, they even took time to take some photos with us. That's Rafer, the sportscaster, and Robin with Bob and me. Bob the weatherman had to run somewhere for a moment but he came back and took a pix later. Robin is a doll, so genuine and of course, very easy on the eyes! Suffice it to say that when it was time to say goodbye, Bob was first in line for a hug!
