I recently felt inspired to begin blogging again. Hopefully I can back up this statement with many photo filled posts in the future.

To begin.. I’d like to say that it’s been wonderful to be back home. It was a strange and yet great feeling to come back to what now feels like a mountain bed-and-breakfast that most people would consider a great weekend get-a-away. I’ve loved seeing all of the special touches Mom has made while I’ve been gone.

Dad has been at the grill mastering the perfect “grilled chicken barbeque pizza” and I must say that it’s absolutely delicious. Not only does he grill the onions and chicken to perfection in a cast iron skillet before topping the pizza, he makes his own homemade whole-wheat pizza crust!

Something else that’s new since my departure in September is little “Timmy.” I’ve been hearing about his crazy antics since October but had yet to meet this black, panther like kitty. Mom and Dad were driving around in North Georgia one afternoon when they stopped to look around at a little shop. The owner pointed to a little black cat and half jokingly said to them, “Do ya’ll need a kitty?” After explaining that they couldn’t help but keep him around with his sweet personality, Mom’s heart broke and she must have immediately made room for him in her heart (and our home!). This didn’t come as a surprise as Mom loves all animals, especially ones with winning personalities. They plopped him up into Dad’s Honda Element, headed home, and the rest is history.
