Tree at the public library
A few guests in Perry taking advantage of the tree at the library.
Dixie is the other half of the blog name and a seasoned traveler who always greets us when we come home as if we have been gone for days instead of an hour or so.
One of the artests at the festival. It was a pleasure to stand around and listen to him.
This was one of the main streets used in the festival. More pictures on the next blog.
Notice his hands. It certainly did not slow his ability to make great music. Several were selling this instrument, or a junior version, but he was the only artest to play the instrument.
Saturday
Perry, GA is quiet again now that FMCA has hit the road, all 3000+ motorhomes that is. We drove through the Georgia Fairgrounds and it appears there is some school function going on in the big auditorium where the Oak Ridge Boys performed. Otherwise, there might be 30 coaches scattered around the grounds.
For those around the Houston, TX area, this was the camping weekend for the Hi-Lo’fers group that gathers the third weekend of the month. It is a great excuse to gather, eat more than you should, tell stories and normally let Mel Cunningham beat you again at dominoes. This time Jerry Roberts reports Mel might have taken pity on Wain Glass and let him win 2 of 3 games.
As for us, we made a run up to Macon to be part of the Cherry Blossom festival. We were rather disappointed as we expected to see something like the Houston Azalea Trail but it was just two crossing streets with trees on both sides of paths and the focus was on the multitude of vendors who set up to sell craft like items with some going for CD sales and some clothing. For those familiar with Houston, it was much like the Montrose Art Festival.
It did lend to some good pictures. They are long on churches in the area. In one case there was a Baptist church that was dedicated in 1889 located beside a Catholic church. In the case of the Baptist church, this was their 4th location having built the first in 1826, so they have some real history in the area.
Meantime, Jim and Phyllis are back in Palm Bay and we pray they and the other workers at the church were able to get the long list of projects accomplished so the church will look its finest next Sunday.
Have a Blessed Day!
