Escape to the Mountains. . .

Our summer vacation this year (my first ever real away from work paid by work going someplace special vacation with my family) was spent up in the north Georgia Blue Ridge mountains…

From SUMMER VACATION 2009

It was wonderful being by the creek, and Lyndon loved fishing (or pretending to fish)

Playing with the photos was fun – making them look old timey…

The waterfalls were breath taking..

I loved the flora, here is a photo of a sunflower that has not opened yet..

And here is one with the flower open and the bees enjoying the sweet nectar

For some reason I thought the noses of the horses that we encountered were soooo adoreable, here is one of them….

From SUMMER VACATION 2009

The horses themselves were beautiful and comical…

Hanna was in tow most of the time, and always making her own unique faces along the way…

From SUMMER VACATION 2009

Victoria was my sweetheart cowgirl the whole trip… until the last day when she was not feeling well…

From SUMMER VACATION 2009

But finally like a cowboy riding off into the sunset the end of our trip came and we had to say good night, and good bye to our cabin retreat…

There are hundreds more photos like these (you can get to them by clicking on the photos) but I simply could not put them all here…..

SHE HATES IT THAT EVERYONE TELLS HER SHE LOOKS A LOT LIKE ME, BUT HEY, I USED TO BE KINDA CUTE TOO!!!

From KAT MURRAY HILL PROM

I am apalled at the way in which I see the arrogance of supposedly “educated” people conduct themselves… Or perhaps I am mispoken… People that pursue education are not neccesarily educated, and people that are educated in acedemics are not always educated in common sense nor proper etiquette, or even basic courtesy and kindness.

I was sitting a a class tonight at FCCJ, a regular Monday night in a hybrid adult education class. These classes hold within their walls a variety of peoples from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and educational levels. most of whom are supposedly trying to “better themselves” as individuals. I find it ironic though that these same people whom are trying to become enlightened are so grossly lacking in the aforementioned kindness and courtesy deptarment. In fact, they are almost not just lacking, but practically non existant character traits.

They are downright RUDE, and insensitive and I would derive much pleasure if I were granted audience the day they received their due come uppance.

I was truly ashamed to be in the room while these two women spoke (not discreetly) back and forth about another woman whom was present in the class. It was as if they thought she was hearing impaired, or maybe they thought she did not understand english, but either way there is no due recourse for thier thoughtless and outright ridicule of the woman. It was totally unprovoked and unjustifiable. The woman did not appear to be a woman of means, she was wearing a simple dress and common shoes, her hair was not salon styled, but she was clean and presentable. However, she had lipstick on that appeared askew, or maybe she had a misshapen lip and that is what caused it to look uneven, or maybe she just wasn’t experienced at it but was trying to be pretty, perhaps it was just a cheaply made brand and had ran in the heat because she didn’t have AC….. I don’t know what the cause - but no matter, it was completely irrellevant, and did not warrant thier tactless verbal insult.

They were speaking of her instead of to her and talking loudly about how her lipstick was all messed up and how they should tell her and blah blah blah. It was vulgar, hurtful and lacking class. To make matters worse – one of the women is a supposed part time employee of FCCJ.

The girl finally left, I am not sure if it was out of embrrassment, or humiliation, or because she had completed her tasks, although she had not been in class for long… I felt so badly for her, and I am so angry… and I am ashamed of myself for not speaking out in protest while the situation unfolded. If I ever see the woamn in class again, I will befriend her and I will apologize to her, for the rudeness of others, and for my own part of not defending her.
