Our First couple of weeks at Andersonville.

   Stayed at some beautiful lakes (Allatoona and Carter) in Georgia at Army Corp of Engineer parks. Traveled to Indiana to see some of the Grandkids, rented a cabin and had a ball.  Traveled to Virginia to see the three youngest grandkids ages 5,3,1 and found out we will have our ninth in March.
   We are now at Camp Sumter, Andersonville Prison to help with 150th Anniversary.  This will wrap up the 150th of the Civil War with the National Park Service.  This will probably be our last NPS gig, we are leaning toward Fish and Wildlife and BLM due to less hours and more relaxing work.

This sunrise on Alatoona Lake just reinforces my feelings about having a home on a lake.
