Couple Time

I was excited to be able to get away with Joe for a weekend earlier this month. He made all the plans and picked out a very nice place called the Stone Fort Inn in Chattanooga. It is a beautiful Bed & Breakfast! We had a wonderful breakfast then we went down to the river. We walked along the river then walked partially across the pedestrian bridge. We later went to Rock City. It was a place that neither of us had been to before. I enjoyed the gardens and the rock formations. The skies were very clear that day so we had a great view from "Lover's Leap."

Another interesting part of the trip was when we purchased a GPS unit to help us get to our destination. Joe was very excited about it! On our way back home I was looking at the different voices. Neither of us were particularly fond of the American woman's voice (it sounded too automated), so I decided to try another one. Each language has a man and womans voice and they are also given names (ie: American-English woman - Jill). I decided that I wanted a British voice so I chose the British-English woman Emily as our voice. We both seems to like her voice more than "Jill's." Now it is very amusing because we now all refer to the GPS as Emily. When Otter and I get in the van she now asks where Emily is. We even talk to her and tell her "No thank you, but I do not wish to go that way. Recalculate, please."

All Day Marathon

We have come to enjoy a tv show called "Billy the Exterminator" on A&E. This is a funny show, although what he does is serious and dangerous. Today is an all day marathon! Sometimes it is nice to be a stay-at-home mom!!! All day, all Billy! "Billy, I got a job for ya!"
