Anita
and I live in the small city of Rome, Georgia. It is located in the northwest
corner of the state. Rome is often referred to as the City of Seven Hills
in reference to the small Appalachian mountains that ring the city. Rome
is about 65 miles to the northwest of Atlanta and the states of Alabama
and Tennessee borders are less than an hour drive to the West and North.
Anita works for a local college and I work in the retail enviroment for a Big Box Home Improvement warehouse. I am also a licensed auctioneer and a real estate broker.
We
have been blessed with three wonderful children : Jason, Ashley, & Kristin.
All three have finished college and have grown into beautiful mature adults.
Ashley is married to Jeff and Kristin is married to Josh. Kristin and Josh
have blessed us with our grandson - Austin Bradley - who is an absolute joy
to hold. He is just about to turn 1 year old on March 18.....UPDATE:
And on February 23 at 2:27 pm, Ryland James
Tanner - Ashley & Jeff's son was born...blessing us with our second grandson....at
7lbs 1.9oz and 19" long is just the right size for an armful....and you
can bet everytime I get my shot....he will be in my arms.....pictures
below of both Austin & Ryland.
Jason is still enjoying the single life and socializing with his buds and
church friends.
We have two cats: Rosie, who we rescued as a kitten - she can be a Frump and
a real "Touch Me Not or Only When I want You to" sometimes..and
the newest bundle of energy, Frodo Raggins, a Ragdoll cat who is an absolute
joy to watch - He is a Purring machine....where does he get all that energy?
At 10 months, he now weighs somewhere around 11 or 12 lbs and they say they
take two years to reach full maturity and size....when he takes off on a run
around the inside of the house, he sounds like a horse on a full gallop.
We love the out of doors. We enjoy hiking, backpacking, photography and a relatively new hobby for us, Geocaching. Many of our pictures come from those trips locally and to our favorite destination, Colorado. Good friends, Paul & Cora Winters live in Summit County/Silverthorne, Colorado and we visit in person or online whenever we can. Paul & Cora have an outstanding website that I highly recommend you visit. They have someof the most outstanding photography and videography of that area of Colorado to be found. Their website is www.highcountryaerie.net
