GAINESVILLE GEORGIA
We are “home”.
Home is now Gainesville, GA. We are still living in my parent’s apartment…but they close on their house on Monday the 18th.
We are looking forward to that as much as they are. We’ll be able to get our stuff out of storage (which will save some cash) and have a whole room and bathroom to ourselves…above the garage.
Here’s some STATISTICS according to Wikipedia ABOUT GAINESVILLE:
-It is often called the
chicken
capital of the world.
-It is located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and parts of Gainesville lie along the shore of one of the nation’s most popular inland water destinations,
Lake Lanier
. Named after Georgia author and musician
Sidney Lanier
.
-Gainesville has mild winters…average highs in the 50’s and hot summers averaging the low 90’s.
-In 1996 Gainesville served as the host for the 1996 Olympic Rowing/Kayaking Venue.
Here is an actual photo I took…on the road…here in Gainesville.
Now that we are back…we are evaluating our current situation. The hunt begins for temporary jobs until our support is raised. Our hope is to find something that will be flexible and allow us to still travel and participate in a few things at AIM.
Our house in Houston has not sold…yet. We continue to receive one time support gifts! THANK YOU! (Please pray that the monthly support picks up so that we can begin full time with AIM). We have partners who support us monthly…beginning at $10.00 a month and up. If you’d like to partner in this manner… you can contact us or AIM. There are several ways you can do this – you can send it in to AIM…with a note stating a one time gift, yearly, monthly or quarterly or by automatic deduction.
Also readers might notice there is a red “Support Me” link under your awesome picture on this page!
You might want to do some research into what happened when they tried to change the old chicken statue for a new one. The new one looked more like robo-checken and there was such an outcry that they old chicken had to be promptly replaced.
Glad your back “home” in Gainesville. I have seen more chickens since moving to Gainesville then ever before in my life. Most of them on the death truck ready for slaughter.
