There has been alot going on at the Gathering Place lately. Mr. T is on vacation and has decided to put a much needed deck on the back of our home.
Eric helping Dad lay the floor down. Pretty soon we will be having coffee on the deck :)

Trip To Papa's House

This weekend, Tony and I took a mini vacation to see my dad in Southeast Georgia! We had a wonderful time visiting with him and helping out with his new Ice House business.

Here you see a picture of Tony, Papa, and my brother Bobby standing next to one of his newest machines. The ice houses will give you 20lbs of bulk ice for your cooler for a $1.25! I don't know about were you come from but here in Virginia we pay $3.99 for a bag. He is doing a great business providing ice at such a reasonable price. (They didn't all have incoming calls at once, I just made them pose that way :)

As you can see, the ice house is pretty big. It has an ice maker inside that is constantly making ice. Down in southeast Ga, it gets pretty hot so demand is high.
Here is dad and Sheri standing next to their grape arbor! Beautiful this time of year. Moments before this shot was taken, a fawn ran by us. We were all very excited to witness such a cute visitor.
Later that evening we all gathered for a wonderful dinner at a local seafood restaurant. Scallops and oysters anyone? Delicious. We had a great time that evening. This particular restaurant has a hole in the middle of the table with a trash can under it ready for your crab or oyster shells. We were all impressed with this and may try it on one of our outdoor tables. On the way home we stopped by Cracker Barrel for food and prizes for the kids. Can you guess what I bought for Alli? Yes, you guessed it. Everyone needs a pair of waxed lips :)

Thanks to Papa, Sheri and Bobby for all of the fun times!~Julie
