Behind the Falls

 
The falls splash down into a pool of water, then all the water goes underground. They let us walk around the pool and even behind the falls. Ruston wasn't sure about it teh first time, but wanted to go again.

The Falls

 
Ruby, your falls are beautiful! The Falls were named after the wife, Ruby, of the man who found the Falls.

Inside the cave

 
It was hard to take good pictures of the amazing formations in the cave, but I was able to get a few good shots.

Ruby Falls

 
Ruby Falls - A beautiful 145 ft water fall in a cave in Lookout Mountain which over looks Chattanooga. It was a great day.

Across the drive

 
The view across the drive. The community property is a one acre strip across the from our land. Once we clear the brush from our property we will have a great view.

The current drive way

 
Only a small three room cabin is on the property now and this is the driveway to it. Like I said, it has been raining like crazy!

The land

 
Well, in the near future, this will be our land. It isn't a great picture, it was raining buckets all day! Average rain fall for this month is 4.6", but we have seen over 10! a little crazy. At least we know how the property handles a lot of water.

First Day - Round 2

 
Now in Tennessee, Ani had to start school at her new school. She wasn't as smiley as she was in Auburn. She was a little nervous and scared, but the fit that was thrown was pretty bad! She wasn't going, she wasn't going to learn anything, we couldn't make her. I finally carried her down the hall to her class and left her there screaming for me. Her teacher said when she finally got her in the classroom, she turned her chair around backwards, crossed her arms and said - I am not doing any work! Her teacher siad she was a little worried at first, but she finally turned around after an hour. An HOUR! This girl is SOOOO stubborn. Where did she get this from?? I blame Virgel!

The Booboo

 
The tears and drama. She cut her leg on a piece of glass in a trash bag that I left out. I felt totally horrible! The amount of yelling she did at the doctors was pretty amazing. She was going home - she didn't like it and wanted them to stop it! I just don't know where she got it from!?

Ruston's help

 
Ruston helping the movers! O.k. it wasn't much help, but he was having fun. What else was he suppose to do with Ani at school all day!

First Day of School

 
Ani's First day of First Grade!
We decided to have Ani start school at Calvert in Auburn. She only went for four days, but she was happy to see her friends and it kept her busy while the movers packed up the house, including her room. It wouldn't have been pretty to have her watch them pack her stuff! She picked out her backpack and matching lunchbox. She didn't want a boring one like last year - it was just pink!

Sweetness

 
So sweet. The kids were really sweet one night at a hotel while we were on our house hunting trip. They really are cute!

Good bye

 
Nebraska winds - and swing set! We had a storm blow through, it wasn't a really bad one, but it had strong winds. It took what once was our swing set and turned it into the pile of lumber! The kids were pretty certain Dad was going to fix it. No such luck. I guess the timing was good as we were trying to decide if we should try to move it or not - Answer: Not! It also was round two for the trampoline - that was the end for it as well. So with that, good bye Nebraska and your wind. I will not miss the constant wind!

Sleepy boy

 
This is what I call a sleepy little boy. This is before we moved. He was laying beside me and zonked out. Poor little guy. So tired from all our travels.

On the Road Again!

Are we nuts?! Yep! That about sums it is up. If you are wondering what I am talking about, the Furr's are relocating once again. We are heading to Tennessee!
Ahhh, warmer winters, hot summers, just what a southern girl needs!

Garden results

 
It has been a long time since we have had a garden! Virgel is pretty happy about having purple hull peas again. I must admit, my dinner with fresh fried okra was pretty awesome. No one around here knows what either one of these things are! With peas, there is growing peas, then shelling peas. Virgel has LOTS of help. It was pretty cute. They both thought they were helping out so much!
