Twenty-Five Years Ago

Twenty-five years ago today -- twenty-five years! -- Anna and I got married.

Happy Anniversary, Sweetie! I love you!

Jacobs Family Cemetery

Today Elyse and I went to a cemetery in a bowling alley parking lot!

This is what findagrave.com has to say about it:

"The Jacobs Family Cemetery is in Loganville, GA and in Gwinnett County, Georgia. This cemetery is 3 miles N.W. of Loganville on the old Jacobs land on Athens Highway (Hwy 78). The Old Jacobs Homestead was across the street and believed to have been built-in 1833.

"A development called Creekside Landing built on this land and preserved the cemetery. There are only two marked graves and several unmarked ones. It is believed to be the burial-place of Elisha Jacobs the Patriarch of the Jacob Family.

"Many of William G. Jacobs and John Thomas Jacobs' family are buried at Loganville Gardens about 3 miles down the highway.

"The stairs leading to the cemetery are hidden from the main road, but can be accessed from the parking lot of the nearby Stars & Strikes business. Gate to cemetery is kept locked by an unknown keyholder. Stair path is badly overgrown with vegetation and covered with litter."

Recent Adventures

Looking at this blog, it would be easy to think we didn't do anything for a couple of months. We did! We did do stuff! Here are some pictures I've taken, or been sent, in the last couple of  months:

In June we went to Stone Mountain Park:

 

In late May/early June, Anna and Elyse went on a road trip to Minnesota to get Anna's family home cleaned up and ready to go on the market. Here are some of the pictures they send me from their trip:

Twenty-Fourth Anniversary!

Twenty-four years ago today Anna and I got married.

Happy Anniversary, Annie! I love you!

Rhodes-Jordan Park

Tonight, after giving the final exam at GGC, I went for a long walk at Rhodes-Jordan Park. Here are a few of the things I saw.

Archery with Elyse

Two years (and a week) after Elyse and I first went to Panola Mountain State Park to visit the archery range, we went back for the same reason.

The two pictures above were taken by Elyse and texted to me. I took all the rest.

Elyse made a bullseye! (Which I keep wanting to call "a hole in one")

Here, she is just posing, showing off her form for the camera

Anna's New Car

Today, we spent hours at CarMax -- where nearly everything that could go wrong, did go wrong -- replacing the dying 2012 Hyundai Accent, which Anna has been driving for a few years now (for the last few months with the check engine light on), with this new (to us, at least) 2015 Toyota Prius:

Fox is 18!

 Today, Fox Burdett, my first-born child (FB for short), turns eighteen years old!

Snow!

Today we had a (relatively) rare three-inch snowfall! Elyse went out to see it; everybody else mostly just stayed inside. Here are some of the pictures I took (many of them through windows or briefly opened doors) of the event:
