Rides and Reunions

On Thursday after getting our van fixed

and dropping off Lady at the Cobb's,

we headed up to Tennessee

where we visited with Theron's parents.

Grandpa took the kids for a wild tractor ride.

No, it wasn't too wild.

I'm just joking.

Saturday, we traveled up to NC for a family reunion.
My family used to go when I was a child.
These are pictures that were taken in 1976.

Some 33 years later, the place looks different,

but with alot of old charm.

The porch is still the place to linger.

enjoying the porch.

My great neice, Mai, greeting Josiah
with a hug.



We were able to use the fellowship hall of this church,
which is just up the hill from the house,
for our lunch.






Geraldine, Ada's neice and her husband Calvin
now live in the house and he is the
pastor of the church.
Here they are with a daughter
and two grand-daughters.


This rock is located in the foyer
of the church.
Click on the plaque for a close up,
so you can read it.


We all had a great time!
