Today my little baby niece graduated from High School! Not so much a baby any more.

It is amazing how fast time flies…

She is an amazing young woman!

I am so proud!

Sweetwater Creek State Park is about 30 minutes from my home, not too far. It is beautiful! They have several well marked trails.

The first trail, the most popular runs along the creek. I am used to walking trails alone or with Bradley Cooper, this trail is really popular. It runs up to the ruins of an old mill.

This was burned down during the civil war.

I decided to take another, less popular trail for some more of the hike.

It was so peaceful and spiritual…

Gorgeous ferns everywhere. I cannot wait to go back and see more.

Then this little guy wished me well in my travels.

I tried a new barbecue restaurant in Decatur this weekend.It was good.

I tried the brisket, It was moist and just fatty enough. They did sneak a couple of dry pieces on the bottom. They have a ton of different sauces. This meat is good enough to eat without sauce. I got mac n cheese and collards for sides. They were excellent!

I went back today and guess what? It’s rib Tuesday, you can save 40% off. So, I tried them.

The ribs are good, smoky and flavorful. Overall, very good sides and the meats are good.
