Georgia Carnival: Edition 47
Welcome to the Georgia Blog Carnival!
As you can see this edition is here at Georgia on My Mind. Due to my own snafu I erroneously reported that this carnival would be hosted by Atlanta on the Cheap. Pardon the confusion…..
Also I’ve been somewhat lax regarding posting regularly here. Recovery from my surgery and famly demands have taken a greater portion of my time than I realized. I miss regular posting here and am trying to make that happen as soon as possible. Make sure you read the entire carnival as I have linked to a couple of new blogs as well and have combined the information within the carnival.
The next carnival will be hosted at Georgia on My Mind on Friday, November 7th . Submissions will be due Thursday, November 6th .
If you maintain a Georgia blog and would like to host the carnival at your site e-mail me to set up a date. It’s a great way to put your own personal spin on the carnival.
The last edition of the Georgia carnival can be found here , and the carnival archives are found here.
Now… on to the highlights of Georgia blogging during the past two weeks.
The folks over at the massive blogcarnival site has informed me they’ve chosen the Carnival for Georgia Bloggers to be their featured carnival on Sunday, October 26th. You can see it splashed on their homepage all day. They also tell me they have recently added featured carnivals to highlight and acknowledge carnivals they really like. Wow! I appreciate the nod.
Steve Williams, The Georgia Road Geek. presents New "ROADGEEK-CAM!!!" From The Knoxville Area.
William Cotter, better known in the Georgia blogosphere as Paw Paw Bill, states, “Now Obama himself cautions against overconfidence, which is another way of saying don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Polls show Obama with more than enough electoral votes, some estimates as high as 330, a comfortable margin over the 270 needed to win.” Check out the rest in his post Unhatched...
Also when asked to take on a social interaction role Paw Paw Bill is also having to Get Over Myself…a post where he states the deer frozen in the highlights is none other than himself.
Felicia over at Fluffy Flowers provides small waterfalls and more water.
Marcus Smith from MarcusASmith.com shares The Silent Treatment Works Every Time saying, "Public speaking is a necessary skill. The silent treatment is a weapon you can use to hone that skill. Read further to find out more."
Jamestown had a sister colony? The English had a colony in New England prior to 1620? Yep! Check out my post over at History Is Elementary here.
Laney Pottery has a contest going on! Find out all about it here.
Dave O'Brien's Braves Blog has been added to the blogroll. Check out his current post Jake Could Make for J-Heavy Rotation.
Have you heard of Community Radar? It allows people to maintain their own civil news sharing site. Kim Gokce is doing it….Check out his page here titled United We Know.
I received an email from Elegant Image Studios this week. They are an Atlanta company specializing in webdesign…..check them out!

Wordless: Chateau Elan
Ah, the chateaus and wine growing areas of France. Beautiful, right?
I agree. This is a beautiful scene, but this image is NOT France.
This 16th-century style French chateau sits on 3,500 acres 40 minutes north of Atlanta and is fondly known as Chateau Elan. It is the largest winery in Georgia and also serves as a great destination for weddings, corporate retreats and meetings, golf and spa weekends as well as romantic weekends.
The property offers 11 different meeting venues, four golf courses, a European spa, an art gallery, eight restaurants, an equestrian show center, and a wine market.
You can visit Chatea Elan’s homepage Chateau Elan.
This is my fourth Wordless Wednesday foray here at Georgia on My Mind. You can visit with other Wordless participants here.
