Special Thx
Looking to home
After a mid-morning dental appointment I spent the remainder of the day exploring The Shoals of north Alabama. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. In my rush to get to our appointment on time I left my camera at home. Shoot! I’ll be visiting again in the near future and the tree colors will be extraordinary. As I crossed the state line and topped the hill I was in awe of the landscape. Beautiful. I just do not see the rolling hills, water, and natural beauty of the land in Mississippi. There are some nice landscapes here, but there is something special about home. The area I visited is really changing and growing. I was able to visit my previous high school. They were building a new school when we moved here. The completed school is really nice. I chose all the materials for the new classroom, hope the teacher that stepped in liked it! I was also able to visit the school where I completed my internship. I knew both the principal and vice principal, and my cooperating teacher was there as well. I was really surpised that both the principal and vp recognized me.
They have a really neat spa in the Shoals now…
Just in case anyone (eh-hmmm Djembe) is interested…HERE are their getaway packages. It would make a great surprise for someone special or even a really exciting planned getaway. Surprises are nice, don’t you think?
Hope everyone is having a great week.

There’s nothing like home sweet home
Wish I could give Patt the hint for the spa but yeah right! I’m lucky to get the Olive Garden:)
does this mean you go out of state for your dental work? lol
How old is the shoals? Do you know it’s history?
ummm, if that’s what you want it to mean then sure!
The shoals is as old as “once upon a time” time. The history is rooted in Native American life going back as far as the Paleo period of Native American culture. The newspaper published a great article that I use in class. (MS and AL were at one time the combined area of the MS territory.) That article can now be found at rootsweb http://www.rootsweb.com/~allauder/historyshoals1.htm
Like every historical resource, you have to take it as something written from another’s historical perspective.
I LOVE the Shoals and it is so alive with history. When we lived downtown Jem and I would walk around reading the historical markers. Active historical society as well.
Several B&B there and the new Spa, nice getaway if you ever get the urge.
