Georgia Bloggers Blog Hop

Who is ready for a blog hop that is as sweet as your Granny's tea? I know I love to get teaching ideas and resources from others, so come on and join us! You'll be glad you did!

Right Down the Middle with Andrea is from southwest Georgia. I was born and raised in Grady County, home of the Syrupmakers (Yes, that is the high school's mascot...very unique!). I grew up on sweet tea, home-cooking, and football. On Friday nights, it is like the town shuts down completely...if you need to find someone, you have to head to the stadium. There you will find the whole town cheering on the team. 

Grady County is home to many wonderful events and people. Jackie Robinson was born in Cairo. Mickey Thomas (lead singer for Jefferson Starship) "Built This City on Rock-n-Roll." Teresa Edwards, Olympic Basketball player and medalist, grew up shooting hoops right here in Cairo. We have has numerous athletes, businessmen, writers, and artists leave their legacies on our town. 

Some of the events we host each year are unique to our area. The last Saturday in January, the Whigham Community Club hosts the Rattlesnake Round-up. Mule Day is celebrated on the first Saturday in November, and is hosted by the Calvary Lions Club. Thousands of people come from all over the United States to watch them grind cane to make cane syrup. There is also a Mule Parade where all the mules strut their stuff down the narrow streets for the spectators. 

Now on the the fun stuff...

Bonfires, Football, and Family

ATUE Giveaway

Fall. It has arrived in south Georgia. Sometimes we do not really have a true "Fall" where we live; however, this year, it is has made its appearance. And we love it! Many times our weather switches from hot to cold and back to hot before we truly experience the cool, crisp air and the colorful leaves. But this year, we are thankful to have Fall upon us. 

The part I like best about Fall is family. This is the time of year where we love to sit around bonfires, roast marshmallows, and warm up by the crackling fire. We love to watch our UGA Bulldogs play. And we love to spend time together. So definitely the best thing I like about Fall is getting to spend quality time with my family making memories that will last a lifetime. 

We are excited about our FALLing into a Giveaway at ATUE. Hurry on over and enter for your chance to win a gift certificate. You will read each blogger's post and find out their favorite part of Fall. It will be fun!
