Summers Gone By

One of our friends works at the Cherokee Historical Society. Recently, she was archiving some old photos and found this article and photos of our pool and the old pool house that used to be out back. We have heard about the pool house that use to be there and found the old concrete deck when we began the renovation, but these are the first photos and information from Old Doc Johnston and his wife, Maxine. They sound like quite the stylish couple. We closed the pool for the season last week. Here's to another summer gone by...

This isn't the best picture, but there are now lines for gas in Georgia. There is almost no gas in Canton. Today there were two stations open. One was open for just awhile. It's the result of Ike. Supposedly, supplies will be back to normal in a couple weeks. I think the times are very very weird.

Happy Birthday, Monna

This was the #1 pop song on the day your were born.

A few years old, but always a good listen.

Our New Friend Cory

We have met a couple new friends in Canton Jeff and Cory. They are great guys and very funny. Next time any of you are in town, you will meet them. Canton is becoming quite urban!

Here's Cory.

What do you think about the new Microsoft ad campaign? Those of you who actually work for Microsoft you can remain annonomous. Rumor is that this ad was filmed in Ballard sort of close to our house.

Fact Check!

Don't worry Tonya, this is not a political post! LOL

Here is the official list of songs that spent the most weeks at number one on the charts for the past 50 years! Thank goodness ON-J beats Debbie Boone - even if only by one spot! Funny they both ranked higher than the Beatles! Enjoy!

A Reminder

Now, you'll probably all think I've lost it, but oh well, maybe I have.

I just wanted to offer a gentle reminder that this is a "family" oriented blog and we weren't going to get too political.

Let's start a conversation about "what we did on our summer vaction"....And I promise not to start with "I volunteered for the Obama '08 campaign"

The Truth

Peggy Noonan - Speech writer for Reagan
Mike Murphy - Republican Consultant (big time) to McCain

Post this wherever you can

Will We Wake Up?

Yer Next Vice-President! (By Rick)

She has very nice "family values"

Pundit Power

My prediction is that Palin will not remain on the GOP ticket.

The video below is interesting. It was recorded Friday morning prior to the announcement of Palin as VP. I don't plan on being very political on this blog, but I can't resist showing what the right wing pundits really think. If you have a different opinion, feel free to weight in.
