Atlanta, GA and Great friends


Two of my best friends live in Altanta, GA. Well, one in Decatur and one in Peachtree City. We were able to spend a few days with both of them over the Christmas break. We had such a great time. They welcomed us with open arms and we feel like family when we are there.

First stop was to the Driskell's home. Betsy and I have been friends since we were 5-6 years old! Amazing really considering we haven't lived in the same area since we were in 6th grade (plus one other year when we were seniors in h.s.) Betsy's two kids are 6, Davis and 4.5, Ellie so right between Griffin's age. We have been getting them together years since they were born and now they are enjoying growing up together. It was so neat to see their imaginations working together. This picture was on Betsy's front porch. They were on a "houseboat." Griffin was the dog, Ellie was "7" years old and Davis was a teenager. I asked where the parents were and they said they went overboard and died! (whatever!) The had taken all the cardboard out of the recycling to make their boat. And of course they had to have a place to sleep so they got pillows and blankets from inside.Aunt Betsy made the kids a chocolate fountain. What fun! Here is the "during." And here is the "after."
Let me put the second stop in a new post. This is getting long!
