moving and vacation

We got my brother in law and his fiance moved safely. Only one trailer tire and a couch were lost on the way. No, the couch wasn't really lost. It made the trip but was more like a casualty. But 700 miles and a million stops to retie and check the tarps later, we arrived. Oh, don't forget about Forrest and Jenny and the gang from Wisconsin!!! That was too funny!!! The house is adorable! Her family put a lot into it and it turned out great! We got to enjoy a TN dog roast and spent the evening chatting and eating and playing and catchong fireflies. It was so sweet of her family to welcome us into their home. They are such good people and I know my BIL and soon to be SIL will have plenty of support and love from them! Day three we ventured further north. The normally five hour trip took eight because of the rain. But I got the chance to visit with many that I love. Even though there were some rough spots, I came out more knowlegeable than before! Yay! Anyway, hoagies and a trip to chateau la roche. Rocked! Remembering those I can't hug anymore was painful - but I know I will see them again someday. We stopped in KY to see how baseball bats are made - that was cool! Along with the other exhibits in the museum. It was a good time. Another stop in TN for more visiting and rest. Ate at a yummy little itallian place down the street from their house. MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Then a fun and silly drive home. I am thankful for the surprise vacation and to be back safely!!
