From Valdosta, we traveled to Cartersville, GA to spend time with our cousins there. It was wonderful to have time to relax with them and catch up on everything that’s been happening.
While we were there, Thelma took us to dinner at a restaurant named Doug’s in Emerson, Ga. where I was able to get the fried chicken I had been craving since crossing the Georgia line. The walls at Doug’s were lined with old photos and Thelma said that when she had been there a while ago, she had seen an old school photo which included my Uncle Homer. After dinner, we went in search of the photo and easily found it on a lower level. The photo was from the 1920’s when Uncle Homer was a teacher at the school. While we were looking at that photo, I noticed a similar photo in the corner. When I looked at it, I was surprised to see my Aunt Mary who had also been a teacher at the school! It was a great evening.
We also went to dinner in Euharlee with Gail and Thelma. We had wonderful BBQ there and then took a stroll to a nearby covered bridge for a photo op. It was a beautiful cool evening and the walk to the bridge gave us a chance to walk off some of our dinner.

After dinner, we went to visit Gail’s daughter, Tamara. We couldn’t wait to see her and her new daughter, Carder. Carder is a beautiful little girl that stole our hearts! Getting to meet and hold her was definitely one of highlights of our visit! We just wish we had more time to spend with them!
