Good ride to see leaves

Sue and I had a good time driving the Miata through the north Georgia mountains this weekend! We drove to Cleveland, GA, then headed west through Dahlonega to Adairsville. We had the top down most of the way through the mountains but started getting some light rain as we approached Adairsville. It was amazing to see all the oranges and reds mixed with the evergreens on the two-lane roads. With the top down we could hear the leaves crunch under the tires and swirl behind us, which was amazing! 

We enjoyed our first "bed and breakfast" experience, too. The house had been built in 1895 and lovingly restored by a couple next door, and the breakfast they served was delicious! We enjoyed getting to know them. 

Good trip!

Remembering our ancestors

I watched the animated Disney movie "Coco" earlier this year and really enjoyed it. The movie focused on events around Día de la Muerta, the Day of the Dead. It's a day to remember our ancestors so that they live on in the afterlife. 

While I don't believe in that way I find that I do enjoy remembering those who went before us.
