Mountain Conversations with my Best Friend
October 30th, 2007 Posted in FamilyThe end of last week brought a much needed time of R & R for me and Jill. We dropped the kids off with some of our best friends Phillip and Marjorie Kesler and Rebecca Avra for a few days and we took off to the Blueberry Inn nestled in the North Georgia Mountains between Cleveland and Dahlonega.
We were able to visit our friend Natalie Flake at Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland. You can read Natalie’s powerful story here.
We visited our friends Seth and Leslie Wallace. Leslie continues to battle cancer and is doing great. Click on their names to follow their story through their blogs.
We stopped and took a walk on the campus of my alma mater, North Georgia College. I looked for my favorite professor Marc Gilbert, but I couldn’t find him.
My favorite part of the getaway was the opportunity to take walks with my bride and best friend and have some uninterrupted conversations.
