We did go to Bainbridge, Ga for Easter and had a great time visiting with family and also some high school friends. Ann Reynolds always seem to have time to cook for us and include others from our high school days and it is always a wonderful time with good food and fellowship.
We left Georgia on the Monday after Easter and traveled to Cullman Alabama and visiting with a high school friend who graduated with Larry. He and his wife were just wonderful to us and we enjoyed catching up after not seeing each other for 52 years. Also found out that eight of the years that we were in Virginia they lived in Newport News Va. not far from us but didn't know it. We left there on Tuesday and did something from the "Bucket List". Now we have traveled up and down interstate 65 for MANY years and never stopped at the Jack Daniels Distillery. Well this time we did and had a great tour.That afternoon we drove on into Nashville Tenn and met some friends from Georgia and had a nice visit with them. Next day we traveled on into Kentucky and went to the Jim Beam Distillery. Now we know all about making Tennessee Wiskey, the Jack Daniels method and making Bourbon, which is the Jim Beam method. We found a nice little RV Park just south of Louisville called Grandma's RV Park and spent the night. Thursday we left around 10 am and traveled to Indianapolis to get our "Grandchild Fix".
The time in Indy was as busy as ever with Gymboree classes for Sophia, baseball games for Noah, dodgeball games for Kate, Bella and Noah and church on Sunday.
Larry is very happy now that his youngest grandchild has decided that he if OKAY. Up until this trip she would not have anything to do with him unless he was the only left in the room to get her out of the pak n play. She actually can say Papa and of course that thrilled him .
We left on Monday April 8 around noon and made it to Charleston WV (for you people from WV, that is West By God Virginia, and spent the night in a Wal Mart.
Tuesday afternoon we arrived back at our house but we decided since we are going to Williamsburg next Thursday with our Old Dominion Camping group we would just keep staying in the motorhome and slowly get the house ready to move in after we come back from this long weekend.
Yesterday we had some sad news that our friend, Janice Parsons, passed away. She had been in the hospital for surgery and things just did not go well and thus she went to be with the Lord and her husband, Ralph who left us 3 years ago in February. We did a lot of traveling with them in our motorhomes and it was hard enough losing Ralph and now Janice is gone too.
Now much else to report so will close for now and hopefully things will not be so crazy for the next little while.
Mem and Larry
