Thought she'd disappeared...

I just got back from a day trip to Ellijay. Very nice, but I fergot m'dern camera. The Apple Festival is happening this weekend and next there. Our first time going. Turns out, it's a big deal. Bigger than we wanted to invest in. So we went looking for orchards. Found lots! Where you could pick your own apples (or not), buy fresh honey (not that it goes bad...), pet small animals, go on hay rides, sample cider, people watch and relax. We wanted to pick, but it started to rain... So we bought pre-picked! We found apple 1/2 as big as my head! HUGE!
Then we went into the downtown square. We found cute shops! We found a GREAT bbq place (Wolf Creek) and a much smaller version of THE APPLE FESTIVAL. We also found out that we need to bring cash. Great buys gone forever... sigh.
I love riding in the mountains. Alone. With my husband. With my kids. With my husband and my kids. Singing with the radio. Listening to a book. Listening to the wind with the windows down. It makes me happy!
