Today Jonny and I celebrated the fact that 11 years ago at the ripe old ages of 20 and 21, we ran off to the mountains and got married in our sneakers! (The picture above was taken the day after we got married while we were still on our “honeymoon.” We only stayed in the mountains for the weekend because we had to get back to Athens and return to our classes.) Our marriage has beaten the odds, and as long as we are both still breathing, we will be celebrating many more years together.
So we took today off and went, ummm, yes, we went fossil hunting (there is a Bob Dylan concert in the near future as well. Jonny’s gift to me. He mostly only tolerates him for my sake). I won’t bore you with lots of sharks’ teeth pictures, but do want to share all the gorgeous fall colors we saw at the lake after our hunt. With the exception of the last photo which I tweaked just a little, these photos are SOOC (straight out of camera-no editing at all). Nothing fancy on my part; just God’s artwork captured on film (well, captured digitally 🙂
Happy Anniversary to us! Happy Weekend to you!

Congratulations on eleven years! I love the fall colors. Our city boasted some beautiful decoration and I kept thinking, "I've got to get my camera out," and haven't done it (it's been gloomy here–rain & clouds which is not a good motivator to take pictures). I think we hit our peak last week, though. My favorite season is Autumn.

Hi Ginny, I'm back at my own computer now but things aren't right yet and I'm too broken hearted to tell my son. When he loaded everything back in, he failed to install Firefox (or foxfire, can't ever remember which one comes first!)so all my blogs are off in never-never land, lost in cyberspace. Thank You, Lord, for the blessing of having ever so small on my old explorer. I have your blog and my create blog at my disposal. My son gave his day off to fixing this computer (2 wks in a row!!) and I just don't have the heart to tell him that all my blogging stuff is gone!! Oh, I could cry. But, hey! I have email of my now! I did gain something. It will be at least another month probably before he'll be able to work on it again. Sigh! I wish I'd been here as he was setting it up. But I didn't even know for sure if he was coming. Anyway your pics-are-out-of-this-world beautiful. And happy eleventh. They just keep getting better.
