What a Weekend!!!!

Oh what a whirlwind of a weekend we had!
Here are a few pictures of Chelsi lined up for the Dollywood parade.

This is her Clog Instructor...Ginger,

she is Chelsi's dance partner.

It was an interesting evening.....the weather was OK until about midway through the parade. It was then that the skies opened and it rained!

The dancers didn't mind because they were actually quite warm from clogging! However, just as quickly as it started...it stopped raining!

Our team was among the few to see Dolly...she greeted them with a friendly, "Hello"!

She is a tiny little thing!!


This beautiful Waterwheel and Mill was at the beginning of the parade...It was so pretty, I just had to take a picture!

It was a fun weekend....and the team had a great time....but, it is SO good to be home, now, and get back into our regular routine. We've been super busy for 3 weeks now.....We are ready for some time at home!

The cold air blew in today...it is 37 degrees outside right now! I bought more annuals on Thursday but decided not to plant them just yet because of the cold temperatures predicted for this week. Freeze warnings have been issued for our area for tomorrow night! Brrrrrr! It is cold!!!

Have a blessed week!!!

Chelsi looks just beautiful. I didn't know she was a clogger, that's big here in Michigan.
