Don't blame ...Yikes NM, that was one long walk! Don't blame you a bit for taking a cab back to your hotel! That happened to us in Miami last year, we kept walking and walking and finally got to our destination but decided a cab back was in order. :o)<br /><br />That garden is amazingly beautiful!! The pumpkins and especially that glass in the foyer are just gorgeous! No, they wouldn't last long around here either. Probably one of the horses would step on them or Mr. D would get his hands on it! ha! Ya gotta love 'em! <br /><br />The boys are going back to the stable on Friday or Saturday. I am right down in the pits. Each year it gets harder to send them back even though I know they are well taken care of and I go see them often. I will miss riding out back especially with the new road to go on. Oh well, when it is -20* I will be glad I don't have to plow through the snow to get down to the barn.<br /><br />We had a great Halloween party Saturday night. or I guess I should say the kids did as they did most of the work. I posted about it this morning. They have the perfect huge back yard to do things like that. Some lawn and some of it wooded. It was just a great time.<br /><br />Mom and Dad leave on Monday. We are getting things packed up to mail ahead. My sister was here for the weekend and she got a lot done for Mom too. With them gone and the boys gone it's going to be very lonely around here! :o( And quiet!<br /><br />Well my cleaning gal is coming so I am going to take off and do some errands. She doesn't like me under foot when she is doing floors. I wish I could have her for things other then bathrooms and floors but she is very busy so I take what I can get.<br /><br />Glad you had such a great time in Atlanta! Love to you both! xoxoxMidlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-1175524949196264692010-10-25T04:41:47.461-07:002010-10-25T04:41:47.461-07:00WOW!

It reminds me of the first time I went to visit my two older brothers in Vancouver, BC...Claude lived near the border and I had asked him how long it took to get there and he said "oh about 15 minutes" so I headed off for a walk. Well...over 1 1/2 hour later I got to the border...ends up he meant it would take 15 minutes by CAR!! lol <br /><br />That garden looks simply amazing and I really love the glass ornaments. Ouch on the price though! lol I'd love to go to Atlanta one day, it looks to be a wonderful place to visit. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-51269212511920491462010-10-21T08:32:41.551-07:002010-10-21T08:32:41.551-07:00Glad to be able to take this tour with you Mary.
