Day 3: Friday, August 27, 2004

The service and food were wonderful.

We shopped at Walmart and rode all around Lake Guntersville. 

Lake Guntersville is in the Tennessee Valley, overlooking the majestic 69,000-acre Guntersville Reservoir, this park ranges over 6,000 acres of natural woodlands. 

My granddaughter and I enjoyed walking along the boardwalk and the swimming pool at the hotel where we were staying.
We enjoyed several meals at Sunset Bar and Grille located inside the hotel.

At the restaurant, we were served fresh, tasty, seafood, prepared perfectly with friendly services.

Hubby did not take the full-time job offered by TVA and I was glad.

Guntersville would be fun if you enjoyed the water and hubby is not crazy about the water like me, 

 Guntersville is all about the water.

🎄🎄🎄🎄2014, Saturday, Dec 13, Idiot with TWO Cameras

People can benefit by using their brains 

and not act like idiots by shouting out 

only the B letter of the alphabet during a parade.

I was standing in line during a Christmas Parade next

to a man with two very nice cameras.

A telephoto lens, both looked very expensive

but did he use them to take great pictures?

I think not!

What did it benefit him to stand there calling out

bomb this boy!!

He was shouting out to the participants in the

Parade..............

Bomb this boy repeatedly!!!

Every once in a while he would take up one of his cameras and

snap a picture.

What an idiot with two cameras hanging around his neck

calling out bomb this boy!!!

I think B was the only alphabet letter he knew. (BOMB)

A very rude person, pushing Hubby so he could 

get closer to the parade.

I told Hubby TO just get behind me and he did.

I stood my ground not moving an inch.

For I was there to take pictures and he was not getting in front of me!

Christmas Parades are for pure enjoyment.

Some of the letters of the alphabet animals that were in the parade

H - horse

D - dog

G -Goat

C -Cow

P -People

The idiot that only knew the letter B of the alphabet,

who did not benefit from two very expensive cameras,

finally moved on.

We did have a great time at the parade.

I took 177 pictures with my cell phone

and 250 pictures with my Nikon camera.

I hope when I attend the next parade I do not

meet another idiot who could benefit 

by using his brain with more letters of the alphabet.
