Over the last few days, it's been great to get caught back up on our sleep. We've kept the activities low and just toured back and forth into town for food and Christmas presents. The weather here has been up and down - rain some days and sun the next couple but generally at a temperature that is workable to be outside in short sleeves. I've taken some pictures of the local barns (for some reason I like barns, they have so much character) and some of the neat...

Today the U-Haul truck went back.....that's a weight off the shoulders. They actually said that I was a little light on fuel when it returned. I mean who can tell what 3/8ths looks like on a fuel gauge. He said that if I didn't return it with 3/8th's of fuel then I would be hit with a large fueling charge. So, I jumped back in the cab - off to the Shell and put $20.00 in the tank just to make them happy. From there we took little Lillie to the doctor and then of...

Today was unloading day. All of us loaded into the car and truck for the trek to the barn for storage. Keli & Joe are sitting on 86 acres just south of Murfreesboro in Bradyville and have a barn in back for our possessions. Here in the U.S. they have environmentally friendly soap, to the point where you always throw out the soap when it gets to the small middle piece. So they make soap with a hole in the middle, very green don't you think. Between the six ...

We woke to sunshine in Bradyville this morning. It's so nice not to have to sit in the driver seat of that U-Haul. I'm so done with long trip to the south, we're both glad that we're here. Because of the detour delays that we experienced yesterday just outside of Memphis we got into the Murfreesboro area in the dark. While we had some detailed directions from Keli how to get to the house it was pretty interesting finding the house. We pulled off the interstate ...

We left Fort Smith, Arkansas today at 8:25. It was the first day that we pulled back the curtains and there was glorious sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky. We were anxious to get on the road for this last day into Tennessee. Because we arrived in the dark last night we didn't have a chance to see the landscape so when we finally got on I40 East, we saw TREES. For the past few days there's little growth anywhere other than tumbleweeds so it was a treat to see some...
