I have all kinds of memories I would love to share with whomever wants to read this blog.

Today, I remembered with my husband the time we took our six kids to Nashville. Linda just made a trip there for work and thus this brings back memories.

In the late sixties the roads weren't as good as they are now and of course, we had an old car so that didn't help any either. We were packing up to go when Tom's brother came by and chewed Tom out royally for taking six kids on such a trip, and in an old car. "What if you break down?" "What if someone gets sick"? We listened and then took off. What a time. Coming home we had trouble with the generator and lost our lights. Fortunately it was near Knoxville and we stopped at a motel. The kids thought this was the greatest, after living in a tent for the past four days!! We got two rooms at the Best Western and they had a ball. I understand later they had a pillow fight and went down the hall for ice, etc. We called a garage and they fixed the car. The expense wasn't too bad and we were prepared for this so were on our way the next day. Arrived home without a problem.

More later.
