FUN DAY

Yesterday was the day the Tennessee girls and their better halves were coming to see Gale, Jeff, and Mary.  AND...maybe say HI to mom  and dad too.

First though we had to take a short trip to "BACK IN TIME" at Henry Horton State Park.   Ted and I had been there several years ago and was very disappointed.  But...we decided we had a couple of extra hours before everyone else was to arrive so drove over.  We were shocked at how much it had grown.  There were craft booths with everything from Light House Bird Houses, to Candles and Jewlery and most of it was made by people in the area.   There were old cars on display and a train ride you could take for a mere $3.  (I really wanted to do that but didn't)

Mary and I took off in one direction and Ted and Gale in the other.   Soon I realized I was not going to be able to go very far and we had to turn back.   Saw a neighbor with her jewlery booth so went in to see her and here came Ted and Gale.   We all realized Gale could walk further than I could which pleased him.

Then home to a quick lunch and get the ribs in the oven.   The only problem with that was when I opened the ribs they turned into Pork Loin that had been sliced and packaged to look like ribs.   Now wouldn't you think the cook would read what she was buying?   Yea, most cooks would.

We decided it was all the same thing, pork, just cut different or something like that.    Anyway, it got the home made bar-b-q sauce on it and into the oven it went.

Mary had brough her home made gumbo and rice and that was wonderful.   Everyone loved it.   I could use Mary around more often.

The day was just one of those special days.   We all felt it and everyone hated to see it end, especiall mom and dad.   IF...the rest of the families could of been here it would of been perfect.
