Part 1 :) The Love the Church Conference, And A Long, Wonderful Visit!!! :) Part 1

Grace and I (Kitty) went to Georgia recently and then over and up to the great state of North Carolina, and then back to good ol' Georgia. Mama and Daddy took a quick trip down to the Power's house to drop us off. We took Em and Paul along as well! It was great fun!! :) :)

~Emmy and Elly~

:) Em and Levi :)

My Sweet Mama and :) Mrs. Powers :)

The next morning, we said a sad farewell to Mama and Daddy and the littles, and then the packing began! In less time than we expected, and more time than we had hoped, we were headed north to the Carolina's!

"Why Couldn't I Bring Max?"

Ivey - Cheerful As Always!

Gabe, Ready to be there and out of the van!

After a lovely drive, during which I saw my first snow of the year - YAY!! (Get over it, Mike! :), we arrived at the conference!!

Well, hello, G'mama! Fancy Seeing you here!

Hmm....seems to me this is a reunion.

;)

Um....reunion...indeed.

"C'mon, Grace, let's go..."

"Let's have some fun. The view from the roof is lovely this time of night!"

"OK!"

"Hmm....This sounds like a good idea! After all - we are high on reunion and sugar!"

If we only had a fiddle, we could do some Jewish dances, up here on the roof!

(Get it?)

;)

Hmmm....Amanda - you're a bad influence. I would never have thought of this on my own..."

"Tradition! Tradition!"

This picture was just before she shut the window and locked it - - leaving us stranded on the roof. She was very naughty....

I must say, this is not the nice view we anticipated...

After climbing down the hotel wall, 3 stories, clinging to anything we could, and nearly falling to a rather dramatic end, we ended up on the front lawn again for an evening stroll.

:) Oh yeah, we had fun. :)

Why, hellooooooto you, Whiddons! Having fun?

And the same to you, Mrs. Franklin and Daniel!

And, here we have the Stupendous Stevens!

:) Well, three of them. I did not forget you, Matthew. :)

"We aren't posing...we always look like this together!"

Well, we are all looking at different cameras, but at least we now have proof that we were all there!

;)

What a lovely picture of lovely ladies...!

Aha! The elusive Matthew! And how are you?

And here we have Uncle Chris.

You said you wanted to see the other picture on the blog, however, I didn't want to be murdered when I next see you. ;)

And let the sermons begin!!!

Mr. Washer was very, very good.

'ello, Abby!

The Reds, and the...Stripes, Squares, Grids, Blues, And Blacks!

Maybe I'd better stick with, "Three Lovely Gals!"

Aunt Molly and her sidekick, Jeremiah.

My goodness, Jerry gets around! Here he is with Mallory. Such a nice couple. ;)

Yes, it's, once again, the CAMERA!!!!!!!!!

:) :) Grace and I with sweet G'daddy. :) :)

It...almost looks like...another treasure hunt!

But, alas, it is not!

Um....Amanda gets excited about her snacks!

Here is Grace...standing up against the white wall, getting her picture taken, like a mug shot or something. However, we had to do something since Mrs. M was looking through the peephole of her hotel door at us, writing reports of our every move. We had to do something! So, since Grace was looking lovely, we stuck her against the wall, and snapped a shot. We needed to look like innocent tourists, you see. All tourists go to visit the white wall beside the elevator!

My Secret Conference Identity. My names are switched to keep those who don't know from finding out, and keep those who do on their toes, and in all other cases...to let them know that my name consists of, "Kitty" and "Discher." Or..."Discher" and "Kitty," if you'd rather.

Alas....we have come to the final day. Here we have a wonderful panel having a wonderful discussion.

Out for some fresh air, gentlemen?

Grace concentrating very hard on pushing that button!

Hey, Ya'll!

Happy Birthday, Mike!

And that's that, for the first part of our adventure. Stay tune for the conclusion of our Georgia Vacation!

~Kitty~
