Corey "Team PEZ" marries Stacy "PEZ Princess"

On June 20TH we traveled to Tybee Island, GA for our friends wedding. They had a beach wedding and it was 103 degrees that day!
The reception was at Marlin Monroes a neat beachside restaurant.

The grooms cake was a package of PEZ candy, what else.


We wish them all the best.

New Pacemaker

On Thur 5/28 I went to St Josephs Hosp. to have a new Pacemaker with new leads implanted.
The surgery was just about 4 hours and when I woke up Kathy and Colin were there to great me back.
The oddest thing was when I looked at the site there was no bandage. Also there was no stitches. I was not aware that they just glue the wound together. I can't get it wet for 10 days but it looks odd.

I have been resting a week and start back to work tomorrow 6/3. I'm still weak and I haven't had caffeine for a week. Taking meds and vitamin supplements so I'll be fine. My color is better as this helps regulate my heart better than the old one.
Although I still haven't found where they put the speaker so you can here "CLEAR" when it shocks me......LOL

Well we had a nice trip to GW 7

Over the last six years GeoWoodstock has grown from a small event at a local park to an event that has filled a state park, a fairground and a huge farm. Well for the seventh annual event, we are taking over an entire town. Let me be this first to invite you all to join us as we take over the town of Bell Buckle, Tennessee for a geocaching mega event like no other.



We took the dogs with us they had fun getting out of the house. Drive up was 2.5 hours then stayed there for 4 houes then drove home. We met many new cachers and saw some old friends.

Kathy's Son and Daughter in law, Rob and Jennifer , are having a baby and her name was just chosen...... Lexie Grace Perry !

Here is a link to Jennifer and Rob's Blog

Time to update.

We had a great busy Thanksgiving and Christmas.

In October we drove to Indiana to see Kathy's Mom and celebrate her brother George and my birthday. 

She flew home and I drove up to Canada to see my Sister's family for Thanksgiving, Oct in 

Canada. We stole fresh onions and potatoes from the fields for dinner, kinda a tradition.

I was able to visit my parents grave and put mums on Mum's, she loved mums, and I love and miss them.

 We had Thanksgiving dinner at the house with my son Colin and Kathy's daughter Lauren.

 

We havd Christmas with Kathy's kids and grandaughter.

Then Christmas morning Kathy flew to Indians to spend Christmas with her Mom, sister and 2 brothers in Indiana. I stayed here to keep the dogs and I had to work. Retail is a hard task master.

 We had this picture taken at Kathy's office Christmas party.

I have accepted a Manager position at the JC Penney in Morrow,GA about 45 miles from our house. Hope the gas doesn't go high again. 

Kathy is doing well at her job and has some great news to give .....but it willl have to wait a week or so....stay tuned.

260 Miles.
Well today we went for a quick trip to Fredericksburg, VA .
On the way we stopped at Montpelier, James Madison's home.
It was at Montpelier where Madison researched past democracies and conceived of the system of government that became our republic. He and Dolly were not home so we moved on. We did get a pic of his temple and the grounds.After stopping we can across the park where John Leland and James Madison had their meeting to hammer out the constitution position on the separation of church and state. Moving along we found a place Tom wanted to see. We could get no closer than .7 th of mile so Kathy stayed with the car and Tom walked in through the corn. So here is the grave of "Stonewall" Jackson's left arm. He was wounded by his own troups and the arm was saw off. The chaplin buired it here at his home. Just away from the Wilderness Battlefield.
Now you know why Gen. Robert E. Lee called Jackson his "righthand man ". (sorry I had to)
Speaking of Gen. Lee we visited the headquartes and battlefield lookout point over Fredericksburg. Here is Kathy at the vantage point. The trees have grown but the town is a mile down the slope. We had a nice 20 minute hike up to the site. If you open this pic you might see the church steeples.

Well all this walking got us hungry.
So I surprised Kathy with a trip to a restaurant I had looked up on the internet. The name is Tim's II and it is on the Potomac River.

Big deal I know, but we are standing in Virginia and the restaurant is in Maryland! The border is the river bank not the middle of the river. So we had Maryland Crab Cakes in Maryland!
This is a warfside dinning and here comes a new customer.

We had crab cake starters and then Kathy had Fish Tacos! I had a crab cake sandwich, terrific!!!
Great lunch and a good time was had by all. The staff was busy as the TS Hanna was bearing down on the area and they were expecting high winds and tides.
We enjoyed our lunch and our historic tour then headed home.
I took many pics on the way of things to waymark.
Back to the resort to a late dinner and get ready to leave in the morning.
