We were up early this morning and off to the Waffle House for breakfast. It was so cold there we needed shirts and even then we could feel the freezing cold. The lady manager we've known since they opened in 2007 (?) laughed when she saw us and they turned down the air a bit! It really was ice cold!
We arrived around 1:45pm yesterday. The puppies were happy to see us and all the humans too! Last night Grampa spoke with our oldest who is in Germany and he's having a good stay. Our 1500 mile drive was quite uneventful. Only got really stuck once outside of Knoxville for about 45 minutes. A and M's youngest is here with his wife and baby. They are well and, fingers crossed, looks like he may have a job. He is off to get a physical, a job requirement. That would be so good for them especially as his military pay will run out in November. The baby is six months old and loves to smile, chatter and wiggle! He'll be coming with us to lunch today. We're also meeting a friend who will have her six month old grand daughter. All sorts of neat baby time. Grampa is already out with his friend Gil! I was afraid we'd never even make it to southern family's home because we saw Gil out mowing his lawn as we were arriving yesterday and of course we had to stop! But Puppies and Dante's Pop saw the look on my face and after setting up today's date we finally reached our true destination! Tomorrow M and I will be off to the Hammond Square Mall to see my Picayune, Mississippi cousine! I hope the rhubarb plant I'm bringing her will survive the mild winters and grow well for her next year. As I write this entry I can't help smiling at the photos on the dining room walls. The grand kids are beautiful and certainly well loved and photographed.
