Day before Valentine’s Day ❤️ Mary Ann and I went to Publix, picked out cards, read them, kissed… …then put them back and saved $12. 😄 Strawberries and chocolate made it into the cart instead. 🍓🍫 After 52 years of marriage, we’ve learned — it’s not about the card. It’s about the kiss.
Stayed overnight in Athens GA after seeing The Life and Times of The Temptatios last night at the Classic Center. Excellent show. This is Georgia Bulldog country. This handsome bulldog portrait is in my hotel room.
Cheers to a bright and exciting new year! Wishing the amazing BlueSky community a very Happy 2025! 🎉💙 #Happy2025 #BlueSky"

I think so. I believe I saw a video showing what remains today and that was one of the things, in addition to the steps/wall leading towards the Botantial Gardens. I collect medals from that expo and there is a couple "Liberty Bell" medals to commemorate the Liberty Bell at this exposition.
What can I say, we liketo have a good time on our morning walks! #walking

My wife Mary Ann tossing the bocce ball in the first court, is the best bocce player I have seen in my 8 years of playing. We love playing bocce. It is fun, social and you make new friends. #bocce #bocceball #activeadult
Yesterday, went hiking all the way to the summit of Mount Yonah in North Georgia. Five hours, pretty trying hike. Great weather. Well worth it! #hiking #northgeorgia #mountyonah
My favorite spot to sit on my deck. So peaceful. Just watching nature!
Played two games of bocce today in beautil weather here in Braselton GA. Won one, lost one. Good players. #bocce #bocceball #activeadultcommunity

My walking group went to our monthly lunch today. Sitting across looking straight on and without caps is a much different look to a person, as we usually have of each other while walking. #walking
In a tree outside my second floor bathroom. Isn't nature beautiful!
My late father's Royal typewriter from the 1949s sits in my office.
Nobody at our community gym this afternoon? Well they will be back first week of January I am sure!
Last year I hiked Mount Yonah in North Georgia. My group of four plan to do it again on Monday. Hope we have great weather. #mountyonah #northgeorgia
