went to chilhowee lake to swim today.as we are driving down our road to get to swimming hole we see a fawn and its moma.thats about the cutest baby animal next to a lamb!we oooh and ahhh and discuss how precious certain baby animals are,and which ones are the cutest.then dropped off q with her gran so we could actually enjoy a LONGER stay,if ya know what i mean!the girls and i went to ace for ear plugs which ace didnt have and we ended up buying the $5 chair and three 99 cent butterfly nets and 2 water guns.load up again and on the way there is a house we pass on Old federal rd.we respectfully call the crazy man that lives there the turkey guy/man.why?cause he is sometimes out in his front yard with his pet turkey.he looks to weigh 100 pounds and as tall as a tree and hair like the biggest afro you ever saw on a white person! (i am so not making this up)Usually has his arms crossed and a wild look in his eyes.we didnt get to see him this trip though.:(but we did notice his upside down chairs on the front porch.oraya asked me why his chairs are 'flipped' and i had no answer except,'cause some people are just weird or crazy like that but God loves them and thats ok.it would be boring if everyone was like us...well,maybe not'
got to lake and had a blast,especially oraya torturing coda whom she has known since birth.her mom and i say coda and o fight like brother and sister and zoe will be the one to marry him one day! packed a lunch we all ate randomly.
on the way back home we stopped to buy fireworks and i noticed a boston terrier wandering around,no collar,full of ticks.i had the suspicion he was lost.the guys running the firworks stand said he had been there all day.it was a very busy road and he almost went into it a couple of times.so of course you know where he is tonight!we named him ladd,cause it was by ladd springs rd and 411.but when i came home after seeing twilight with some friends tom had renamed him.....buttkuhs.real nice.
