N, I'm very glad you and your mother had a great time at Stone Mountain. The laser show is great. I don't know how they pull it off, but it's great.
What type of hedge trimmers are you using, i.e., electric or gas powered?
As for the photos, well time does wear on people...especially those who continue to run and put on masks for all to see.
I do think that there are going to be some interesting developments in your life in the very near future...someone flirting w/you? Enjoy it! If he asks you out...go and have some fun...you owe it to yourself.
