ATL

About 6 months ago, Joey had a wonderful idea that we should take my niece, Brittan and one of her friends to Atlanta so we could do some sight seeing. We gave this to Brittan as her 12th birthday present and we had a blast! We took the trip last weekend. Brittan took her friend Grace, who is also my friend Jan's daughter. We had so much fun...we visited the GA Aquarium, the World of Coke, the Sun Dial (a restaurant in our hotel that has glass windows and a revolving floor so you can view the skyline of Atlanta), Hard Rock Cafe, and a Braves game. Here are some pictures from our weekend!!

Talladega

On the weekend of June 20th, Joey, Mrs. Alunda, Byron, Beth, Marshall, & I went to Talladega to watch Joey's dad drive 10 laps around the racetrack. Here are some pictures from the fun day!!!

Happy Birthday Leigh Anne!

Happy Birthday Leigh Anne!

Had to share...

I just had to share this story. Joey & I have been anxiously awaiting Jack's 2nd birthday party. It is at the Tallassee pool and there is an ongoing joke about Joey doing a CANNONBALL and reliving his Tiger Sharks days. Well, the other day I received a message from Leigh Anne, my sister-in-law, and she said that she just had to call and tell me that she had given Georgia Anne, my niece and Jack (and Daniel's) sister, the option to send one invitation out. So...drum roll please...Georgia Anne picked MR. JOE & MRS. ALUNDA (Joey's parents). hahahaha. I know this may not seem so funny to you, but I think it is pretty funny. And very sweet!

And a few more...

Just a few...

Thought I would share a few more pictures from the wedding. I will do little by little because it takes a while to upload.

Butterfly in the Sky...

My cousin mentioned something about this a couple of weeks ago and I found this video on you tube and had to share. I loved the reading rainbow.

Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow. I can go anywhere! Friends to know and ways to grow - Reading Rainbow. I can be anything! Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow. Reading Rainbow, Reading Rainbow, Reading Rainbow, Reading Rainbow!

Joey's trip to Greenville, Mississippi

Joey is away for Gin School this week in Greenville, MS. I was hoping to be able to take the voyage with him, but my work schedule prevented it. There isn't much going on there, but some casinos, but there is one thing, or shall I say one place, that I wish I could have been. And, that is Doe's Eat Place. Joey was introduced to this place some years back and he and I stopped here before going to Tunica for Valentine's Day one year. Let me tell you, I have never seen steak as large as the ones served here. And, they have the best tamales. Doe's Eat Place is located in a very interesting building (trust me, you just have to be there to understand what I mean), but the food is some of the best you'll ever have! If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend that you eat here and if you won't take my word, just take Alton Brown's - he featured Doe's on his Feasting on Asphalt Series.

Fuel Along the Alabama Scenic River Trail

by Glenn Dean

When someone thinks of a river trail, they think of canoes and kayaks.

Alabama is blessed with more navigable waterways than any other state in the USA. When our River Trail was conceived it was decided that it should be open to power boats as well, since most of the trail is navigable.

In order for powerboats to use the trail, fuel must be made available at intervals that will allow the average small boat to make it safely. The Trail has been working hard to reestablish gas at City Marina in Selma.

City Marina sold gasoline for many years , until they had problems with their pump and lost their license...

All for one...and ONE FOR ALL!

Thank you to my brother, Michael Butler, and WTLS for the fabulous Alabama Shakespeare Festival tickets for the production of The Three Musketeers. Joey and I had a lot of fun watching this play. I think we all take for granted how blessed we are to have such a nice place as ASF near us. I would recommend you go see The Three Musketeers, but the last show was Sunday night when we saw it. So, on that note, I encourage you to go see another play or musical! I'm planning on going to see something in the very near future.

Fun in the Sun

Saturday afternoon, Joey & I went to his parents' house and went swimming with Michael, Leigh Anne, Georgia Anne, Jack and Daniel. Joey asked me, "Do you think you can do a flip off of the diving board?" He knows I can't turn down a dare. He flipped several times before I decided to join the fun. I did twice (somewhat). Here are some pictures from the fun. Afterwards we ate hotdogs and french fries and went to Brittan's last softball game.
