Timeline: March 18-27 Monday, the first full day of the conference would be a busy one, stretching into the evening as we had plans to celebrate the upcoming wedding of James, a former UNCC colleague now happily and successfully integrated into life in South Alabama.

Timeline: January 28-31, 2017 We had a pretty full day planned for Sunday so we were up and out of the house early, our first stop Stone Mountain Park, an easy thirty minute drive to the eastern outskirts of Atlanta. I’d visited here once before, when I was eleven years old, traveling with my […]

Timeline: December 25, 2016 – January 5, 2017 We continued walking on the Founders Grove loop trail and reached the actual start at station number one where the Founders Tree sits. At 346 feet in height, it was once the tallest known tree in the world, but it has since lost part of its […]
