MERRY CHRISTMAS

I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. I am heading out of town for a few days to celebrate Christmas with my mom who lives in St. Simons. I will be stopping by for a night in Valdosta to visit with Rob Williams and his family. During this tough Real Estate market I still feel very fortunate to be able to work each day, good health, Great friends and a positive outlook on the future. May God bless you and your family during this Christmas season!!!

Please keep my friend "Coach" Bert Dodd in your prayers at this time-Bert is in the Hospital and will be having very serious surgery next week.

Seymour & Liliana's Wedding

This week I had the pleasure of photographing Seymour Thompson and Liliana Lander's wedding. Merry Christmas to all of you!!

Marsha Thompson's Girls Christmas Party

Sunday I had the pleasure of being at Marsha Thompson's home as she entertained 80 young girls. The Thompson house was decorated like nothing I had ever seen before-The one word that best descibes it is "INCREDIBLE". To see what I am talking about you must look at the photo's I took. Each young lady decorated her own Ginerbread house. Thank you Marsha and Butch for inviting me to your home.

Ringing the Bell

Today fellow Kiwanian/friend Greg Briscoe and myself had a Great time ringing the bell at Town Center. Thank you all who supported us today and THANK YOU Salvation Army.

What a cutie!!!

Some fellow Kiwanians and some Marietta High School Key Clubers were all there to help during the early shift.

Yvonne Birthday Party

The Birthday Girl




Today we celebrated Yvonne's Birthday. Yvonne is the owner of Cooperative Exterminating and is a good friend who I attend Boot Camp with on Tuesday's and Fridays. We all had lunch at Canvas across the street from Kennestone.

The Defoor girls & Joe

It was Great to see all of the Defoor girls and Joe over the Thanksgiving Holiday's . Susan and husband Joey were kind enough to include me in on a couple of gatherings at their beautiful home in West Cobb. One of those gatherings was Susan's birthday party-Happy Birthday Susan!! It has been years since I have seen MaryKatherine(the baby of the family and who was my sidekick on many Saturday mornings when I would be making the store deliveries) but she has not changed much and is very cute & funny living in Vermont. Margaret is doing Great as well as her precious little girl Nora, they have been living in Vermont for quite some time now but come to visit their Mom/grandmom either here or their home in Florida. De is also doing good living somewhere in West Cobb close to her Mom and Susan-I do run into De sometimes and it is good having her back around here. Joe has moved up from Florida and has just been hired to run the tennis program at the Marietta Country Club. It was also Great getting to see Senny (their mom for those of you who do not know) who is one of my favorite's and Thank you again for lunch. Senny you have a lot to be proud about! Merry Christmas!! Johnny

Last Week at Bootcamp

This is part of the group I go to bootcamp with on Tuesdays and Fridays. Being the day after Thanksgiving we had a lot of no-shows. Louise our trainer does a Great job. Pictured here from left to right are Ron, Kristen, Yvonne, Jaime, Myself.

Here is Shelli doing her version of the duckwalk. Shelli got the award this day for having the best form. I think being an Auburn Cheerleader helped her with this excercise.

As the sun comes up we take a little photo break. From left to right are Johnny, Kristen,Jaime,Yvonne, Ron,Our trainer Louise, Tricia

This is Tricia doing the duckwalk and Louise making her way up behind.
