MOUNTAIN GRANNY: FAMILIAR FACES COME TO VISIT

We were so excited to have another set of friends come to visit this weekend from Florida. Don and Diane, our long time friends came in Friday evening and stayed with us. We headed off to dinner at the Yacht Club and then introduced them to our friend Diane and Richard where we had dessert and coffee. We got up and had Belgian waffles with blueberries and headed off to Alexander's (mall of Blairsville) and then attempted to go to the shooting range (to see who was the best sharp shooter this side of the GA/FL border) but everything was shut down due to TURKEY season. We tried to take them to Brasstown Bald but the roads were closed there as well so we wound up going to Helton Creek Falls to show them that.

Low and behold, they headed out about 4 p.m. and not a half hour later the door bell rang. I was sitting at the computer and thinking, OK , it's either the homeowners association or the Davis' forgot something.

Nick was in the basement playing his music tooooo loud to hear the bell so I darted down the stairs and could see through the cut class window - wood. Sitting on the front porch were two unfinished rockers! AND upon opening the door, there were the DAVIS' peering around the corner with grins on their faces. Earlier we were talking about needing two rockers for the back porch seeing we have the 2 on the front porch, they had them at the Shell station up the road and they went back and got them, giving them to us as a house warming gift. Talk about bringing us to tears. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. Now when they come back - to visit in the summer like they promised, we can sit in our chairs and watch the horses out back. They had been laboring about what to get us for a housewarming gift and Don strapped them to the roof of his Toyota truck and hauled them back to the house. The Lord has truely blessed us with friends that just leave us speechless - and that they did! AND GUESS WHAT - we have another project - I think we're gonna paint these white!
