Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

The past couple of weeks have been quite enjoyable as Tammy and I have been able to spend quite a bit of time with family and friends.  Dave & Yvette drove over from Kenner, La to spend last weekend with us. Thanksgiving Day we had most of my family over and on Friday some of Tammy's family came over to watch the LSU vs. Arkansas football game.

Way down upon the Suwanee River..........

This past Friday was Veterans Day and Tammy and I found ourselves in Branford, Fl near the banks of the Suwanee river for the wedding of Josh McGrew & Jennifer Grubbs.  Josh is the vice-principle at Oriole Beach Elementary where Tammy works. It was a beautiful fall afternoon and the couple were married outdoors at Jennifer's grandparents house on the banks of the Suwanee River.
...
Tammy and I enjoyed staying nearby at the Smoakhouse Ranch, an interesting little bed & breakfast type place with a very nice couple who run the place along with several other business adventures.  If we ever had a reason to go back to Branford, Fl we would stay there again.
...
We stayed in Cabin #2
