Four Days Away:

Home again after our wonderful visit to see daughter Amy and family in Georgia! We had a great time seeing granddaughter Rachel and their little grandson, Kaden.  What a busy, active little two-year-old! Later, we went to see our other granddaughter, Laura Corrin, and her husband, David, the newly-weds who live in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Everything was so enjoyable, from supper on the deck at Amy's when she made a festive spread on the table with candle light, to the tasty schis kabobs of steak, chicken and veggies.  Everyone enjoyed a couple of them,  but there were two left over, so Howard brought his total to four!

The weather was beautiful, and sitting on their wrap-around front porch, visiting, enjoying Kaden, and just relaxing was our main activity. The craziest thing happened when we arrived at their house late on Thursday evening! We were walking up the steps, Howard and I behind Amy, when suddenly we were falling! Howard lost his footing, and I was holding on to him, when instantly I hit the paved driveway at the foot of the walk!

I got a bump on my head and a scrape on my leg, but thankfully, a quick recovery. Howard was a different story.  When we got into the house he kept asking how we had got there! He was disoriented for 15 minutes or so, as we kept explaining things. Soon he was his old self and had a restful night after our long trip.

Corrin had asked us to come to their house for lunch before we hit the road for our return trip. She made a delicious meal of salmon, brussel sprouts, a rice dish and luscious dessert of ice cream with all the toppings.

After lunch and conversation, David, who is a gifted pianist, filled the room with his amazing skill from the piano he had in childhood, recently re-located and returned to him. We had time for a tour of their campus where both had met, graduated and got engaged, followed by their gorgeous wedding last fall.  A trip to remember!
