We are still here

I have not been too faithful in writing new posts for this blog and I apologize for that. We are about to get into the heart of our picking year, and into the heat as well. Yesterday was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It has been hot for a couple of weeks already and feels more like north Florida than north Georgia, though we have had more cooling at night than they get in north Florida. When it is this warm though, I like to feel an ocean breeze.

Yes I do enjoy the beach and the ocean. I went a lot when I was growing up and once thought I would like to live on or near the beach. As I got older, I fell in love with the Rockies and my dream changed. I still enjoy the beach, but have been much more of a mountain person than a beach person. Of course, all you need to do is listen to some Jimmy Buffett and you want to go back and get into the waves, or on them.

I haven't gotten my canoe yet, but am hopeful to find one before the end of the summer. I find it very enjoyable to paddle a canoe and relaxing, though it may be more of a workout for me now than it was when I owned one before. Either way, I look forward to it.

Friday night we play at the old Union County Courthouse and it is supposed to be filmed, so I hope we are ready and that we have a good crowd. Later in the summer we are scheduled to do a TV program in Ellijay also, so maybe we can add a couple more YouTube videos this summer.

Come out and see us whenever you can. And bring friends.

See you down the road,
Nelson
