 ANOTHER WHIRLWIND WEEK!!!  We finished our touring of the Tennessee Nashville Mission and headed over the the western part of North Carolina for a couple of days.  You caught that on last weeks post.  On Monday of this week we toured the BALTIMORE ESTATES in Asheville, North Carolina.  What an amazing place!  So worth the pricey price tag attached to the visit.  Would do it again in a heartbeat!

The GARDENS and VIEWS were just outstanding.

It was peak season for the flowers!  Perfect time to be there.

The architecture was just amazing as well......

On TUESDAY we headed back to PTC.  Well, wouldn't you know it......we saw a BROWN SIGN along the highway that said CARL SANDBERG HOME!  SO of course we had to stop and see that.  It was a very fascinating home to see.....in FlatRock, N.C.

I got two more doily gifts made this week......I surely enjoy making these.  Easy and fun....

Transfer Meeting was on Wednesday for the Georgia Atlanta Mission.  We LOVE the missionaries we get to rub shoulders with and we LOVE attending these meetings.....so much enthusiasm from the missionaries!!

And just like that......we got TWO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS in the mail.....one from Tim-A-Do and .......

one from Emsley!  How on earth can these grandchildren be that old.....we surely have not aged that much have we!!!

As we took a walk around the neighborhood we noticed all of the American Flags being put up in preparation for MEMORIAL DAY this weekend!

On Saturday morning we had a GAM Senior get-together luncheon at the Sparberry Barbque in Newnan, GA.  It was fun to be with everyone....and the food was good too......


We just couldn't quit talking and visiting with each other.  We never seem to have enough time to visit.

Once we finally left the restaurant we headed up to the Atlanta Temple.

Back down at the 515, there was a BIG GRADUATION PARTY happening....Tim's!  Apparently, it was perfect in every way.....weather, tons of people coming, Tim having a GREAT time!!!  So wish we could have been there.

BUT....back down in PTC, we had our own little 'party' going.  We had the elders over for an impromptu dinner.......they had not eaten and we were hungry as well.

I told them I was making cucumber, cheese and bacon sandwiches like I used to fix in Finland.  We learned this from the Finns!!!  They are delicious!

It was suggested to us by Sister Harding, the GAM Mission President's wife, that we should take a foto with our red/white/blue attire today.  So.....why not!!  We did.

And thus ends another week.  Can't believe we have less than a year to go!  Where does the time go!!??  Loving our mission!
