Our Dog Tomlin

Just hangin' out with my human

Peekaboo

Well, are you going to throw the ball or what?

He's a three-year old Husky mix who is convinced he's "people" too.   Tomlin brings a lot of joy to our lives and will be a big help to our daughter when she goes off to graduate school.

He's rotten, but we love him anyway.
Peace,
John

Pictures of the Chattanooga Choo Choo

Completed in 1909, the Termial Staion for Southen Railway in Chattanooga was a familiar stop for many travellers. The beautiful building won awards for design in a 1900 competition in Paris, France. Closed in 1974, the property was purchased by private investors and now is a Holiday Inn Hotel. You can sleep in a real train car!! We love this place.


The familiar sign and beautiful Art Deco brickwork are a beloved landmark in Chattanooga, TN

Lobby interior featuring the Great Dome

These doors used to lead to loading platforms, now they open to a very nice dining room with a "patio" feel

Beautiful Christmas decorations (many featuing life-sized figures) grace the lobby area

Chattanooga Getaway

This year we took our annual New Year's trip to Chattanooga, TN.

We used to live there and it remains a favorite getaway destination.

We visited some favorite restaurants (Acropolis, Imperial Garden), visited some favorite places (Chattanooga Choo Choo, Rembrandt's, Arts District) and visited some favorite people (Hello Dover and Winter families!!)

After the Christmas rush it was a good break to go away for a couple of days. We came back rested and ready to get back to "normal"
