Battle of Clinton 5'09

There is noting like getting away for a weekend. We got to the campsite around 11am Saturday morning and enjoyed chatting with other company members before time for him to line up for inspection. It was so hot to me. We really had a great weekend. We left Saturday evening just in time before the bottom fell out. Had a fantastic dinner at Ole' Times and a good bed to sleep in even though I did not sleep bc I could not quit coughing. Sunday was not as hot just seemed like it took forever to get home. Man do we get the looks when we go in a gas station bathroom to change cloths. LOL. Our next battle will not be until October.

Well I promised some pics and these are not that good but here they are. I am hoping the ones I took on the other camera turned out better. Our trip provided us some of the most gorgeous mountain area we have seen since we went to Maryland several yrs ago for an event. We had a blasts in camp. Friday was hot during the day then cold at night. Saturday was warm during the day and not as cold that night but Sunday was hot, hot, hot. We got on to the site about 1hr after VP Chaney and all of his Secret Service men left, thank goodness for that. We were told no one was able to come onto or leave the grounds while he was there. We still had to wait for a battle that had just started when we got there to end before we could drive on to the campsite. There were many film crews there filming all weekend. We had a wonderful time but I did miss a very special day of my daughters. DH felt really bad about it but he was so psyched up to go even if I had known ahead of time we would still have gone. Even with the threat of NO gas, he was deteremined to go saying "this may be the last time I get to go to this event". It is only held every 10 yrs. We were at the last and believe me when I say this one was soooo much better I am telling the truth. The last one was horrible. They plowed up an old army field and left huge roots of tree trunks,etc for us to camp around or remove. Everytime a vehicle rode through dust went everywhere. My hubby had to change his air filter when we got home it was so clogged up. I had GA red clay in my lungs for 2 weeks. No kidding!

Battle of Chickamagua

Well I am out of commission as far as stampin and bloggin go until Monday or Tuesday. We are headed to the tip of GA/TN line for the Battle of Chickamauga. My darling hubby has been looking forward to this event all year long and I have not been able to talk him out of it :( . At least the temperatures have cooled down so that it may not be so hot. My biggest fear right now is some of our local gas stations are rationing gas and other have NO gas at times. I am hoping we do not run into more of that up there. We are leaving tooo early Friday morning for me to get in the Limited Supply Challenge. I will definitely be in need of my stamp to rubber fix when I get home. LOL. If you are in the area of this event please do come by. It is all about educating and the guys have a blast while burning up some powder. I will have some pics when we return to share with you.
