Another l.o.n.g. week of a lot more traveling! We love traveling.....it is a good thing. After a week in the Kentucky Louisville Mission (and going up into Indiana for part of their Zone Conferences). And NOW back into Tennessee for the Tennessee Nashville Zone Conferences! LOVE OUR MISSION....have I said that before??
Since we don't really get a Preparation Day, we take little 'side trips' along our driving routes to see what sights there might be. On this travel day (Monday) we stopped to visit and spend an hour at the Andrew Jackson Home on the way from Louisville Kentucky to Nashville Tennessee. We even took a little buggy ride on the plantation. Wayne decided to pet the horse while the horse was taking a much needed water break!
As we got close to the Tennessee Nashville Mission Home (where we would spend 2 nights!) we drove past the Tennessee Nashville Temple. Because it was Monday, the Temple was not open but we at least got to see it. Hopefully the next time we are here we will be able to take the time to visit the temple and do a session or something!
For dinner we decided to go to CORKY'S and have some bar-b-que! We have purchased their food from QVC before and it was delicious. However, it is even more delicious in person at the restaurant!!
Meeting the Mission Nurses is always a highlight for us! They are absolutely the best!!! We could not do what we do without them. Sister Crawford is one of the mission nurses here in Tennessee Nashville Mission. She may be 81 years young but she is a 'task master'....very spry and energetic!
Lunch is a real 'feast' at these Zone Conferences. We often have it as our mail meal of the day!!! The missionaries are loved and well fed!!!
Zone Conference fotos are always a MUST!!! We love seeing these wonderful missionaries together. What a GREAT force for righteousness!!
President and Sister Anderson right there in the middle of their 'flock'!! What a wonderful mission president and mission president's wife they are!!! Great examples for such great missionaries!
While visiting one of the Zone Conferences we realized that John Morgan's office was in the same building! He is the local LDS Family Services practitioner. Fun to meet him and get acquainted! Now we can put another face to another name.
We got to have one more little 'family face time' with Pia before she headed back to her family in Germany! How fun to see her one more time!!
As we headed back to our apartment in Peachtree City we realized that our car was truly 'lived in'!!! It was definitely time to go home and 'regroup'!!!
When we got back home on Saturday night, I was able to finish this afghan for Lynn Kay!!! I had worked on it throughout our 2-week trip. I guess I can be pretty productive when I have an hour here, an hour there!! We will hand deliver it in about 2 weeks to the Kay's as we drive through Anderson South Carolina!
We had several packages waiting for us when we returned home!! I love getting packages. And why not a HAPPY FALL HANGING!!! Love it......
My heavens....we 'found' yet another cat at our door step this morning (Sunday) as we were getting ready to leave for church. LOVE our kitty cats.....miss our Madi!!
And we love the uniqueness of our White Water Ward!!! Golf carts are the 'thing' in the parking lot.
Apparently today was GRANDPARENTS DAY!!! And look what our grandkids made for us. How sweet.
And thus concludes another week. Now sure how they go so fast!!! I wish we could 'slow' down a bit. I guess that is not suppose to happen though!
