Sheila and I took our first walk out the Kingfisher Trail in quite a long time -- evidently it's been a year at least!
 |
| Along the way we were pleased to see work underway to reclaim and restore Unity Point at the confluence of the rivers. |
 |
| We crossed the South Broad bridge to the Kingfisher Trailhead at the foot of Myrtle Hill. |
 |
| As we neared the bridge over Silver creek I notices some yellow across the creek between it and the Etowah River. Can you see the Disc Golf target (do they call it a "hole"?) I had not even known a disc golf course was planned there. |
 |
| From near the old railroad (now foot-) bridge we saw more disc golf stuff and decided to check it out. |
 |
| This is between the creek and the river. |
 |
| The course begins on the opposite side of the river. |
 |
| From the Kingfisher Trail we walked down First Avenue to First Street and took a few minutes to glance around the antique mall there. This combination hobby horse --- |
 |
| --- high chair was an interesting item |
We walked up a very busy Broad Street and enjoyed stopping outside Ford, Gittings, and Kane Jewelers to visit with our friends Jan Fergerson and Fran & Rick Buice. Then we walked on to Schroeders and had a late lunch of Salvador Deli (Sheila) and Crummy Pita (me). While there we got to visit a little with little Annie Mink and her daughter-in-law (and my former student Natalie) and Annie's GRANDCHILD! Oh my. Tempus fugit.
 |
| As we neared home we noticed Ben Chaffin playing pin the levee withy his little boy and Murphy the dog. It is so nice to have lots of young families on Avenue A these days. (Not a good picture, but I wanted to remember this scene. |
 |
| The back yard is over grown, but its nice on the ninth day of November to see the "Jubilee Hibiscus", Miss Huff Lantana, and Knock Out Roses blooming. |
