Alabama plays Tennessee

The traffic was really heavy tonight as everyone was going to the big football game between Alabama and Tennessee. These folk in Alabama live for their football games!!

Saying Goodbye to the Moore Family

This week went by really fast. Lisa had dinner ready for us every evening at 6:00 pm. What a treat!! They are a very busy family with four girls in school and Mom going back to school and Dad working full time at the church. We loved seeing you. Thank you again for the wonderful meals!

Lisa loves her Kitchen

Who wouldn't love this kitchen..a double oven, GenAir stove, deep stainless steel sinks, and beautiful cupboards. The food even tastes better!! It is beautiful!!

Enjoying Supper with the Moore's

The weather has changed in this last week and we were able to enjoy a great supper outdoors, and what a beautiful setting!!

Birmingham South Campground RV Park

This was our home for one week as we visited the Moore family. We weren't there much as we stayed so busy. The campground seemed to be a very popular campground as it was right off the interstate. It's nice to be moving again!

Visiting the Moore's Church

We visited church with Terry and Lisa and the girls. We enjoyed the Pastor's message. It was wonderful to see so many youth worship and get so involved in the services. The choir added a lot to the service.

Historic Alabama Home

We enjoyed seeing the old homes in Alabama. Jerry of course liked the old trucks. These items are on the Birmingham Zoo property. The zoo had great settings and created beautiful habitats for the animals and the many displays.

Birmingham Zoo

We enjoyed an afternoon at the Birmingham Zoo. They have some beautiful animals. They only have one elephant as he died last week, so we missed seeing the elephants. Jerry got some great camera shots with his zoom feature. I will be making lots of t-shirt iron-ons and so many animals to choose from!!

Visiting the Islands

Two of the Moore sisters share a room. They had so much in creating an island atmosphere in decorating their room. They were so proud to show us their creativity. All the girls rooms are on the upper level of their home.

Nichole Shows Her Creativity

Nichole is so proud of her room. She picked out the colors, designed, and painted her own room. She's working on the closest now. You did a great job!!

What Kids Wouldn't Like This

The Moore girls have it all!! They live on the basement level of their home. We didn't see much of them as they were always playing pool or watching the big screen TV. Pretty nice!!

Missy has a sister

Our cat Missy looks alot like this one we saw in the Birmingham Zoo. Missy has this same look, sweet and innocent and loves everyone..Just don't test her!!

Birmingham Botanical Gardens

We visited the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. I especially enjoyed the Japaneese Gardens and the Rain forest. They were all quite beautiful considering Alabama has been in the worst drought in 52 years.

Visiting the Moore Family, Birmingham, AL

We really didn't go to Birmingham to find a Pepsi banner, although, it was a bonus, it was to see the Moore family. Meet Terry, and of course, yours truly Jerry and our friend, Chuck, our drivers. We were very fortunate to have Heidi and Charles drive us everywhere. It is great seeing them again, it has been about a year. They moved to Birmingham to work as a family pastor, along with numerous other duties, in the church he grew up in. These are their 4 daughters who have always called Jerry "Chief". Lisa and I worked together and we attended their church in Visalia, CA periodically. It will be fun to go back and spend a week with them. It took approximately 2 hours to drive from Rogersville to Birmingham to scout out a RV park. We look forward to spending some time with them.

The Moore Family - All the way from California

We took a drive to Birmingham, AL from our other friends home on Friday so we would have an idea of the layout of the city. The family looked great, and the girls have really grown. They have a beautiful home and in a gated community. There are a quite a busy family. We will be going back next week and staying for a few days. We look forward to visiting with them and seeing more of the country.

Jeff Gordon Fan

I bet you can't guess one of the reason's Heidi is a Jeff Gordon fan? You got it, he is a PEPSI drinker. Heidi has one of the most exquisite Pepsi collections a person could have. Her basement is full of Pepsi memorabilia as she has collected Pepsi items for years. While scouting out a RV Park to stay in Birmingham, she spotted this sign as we drove in the park. This is this years, 2007, banners for Jeff Gordon. She had to have her picture of course, but better than that...they manager gave her the banner. This was a very successful trip!!! Great picture!!
