Home again!

It's good to be home, but we did have a wonderful few days visiting Tennesee for Allen's genealogy files. I took my knitting, crocheted a bit, mostly gazed happily at the beautiful hills and greenery we passed thru.
It just feels so indescribable to hold a piece of handwritten property descriptions, legal papers, the stories of people long gone. People that we came from. I know it's often said, but it's so very true..we take so much for granted.


Along the Nickajack River is simply gorgeous! The mimosa grow huge (everything does!)



And small towns are always my favorite places, so full of interesting people, things to see that you just never see in big cities.












I mean really..how often do you see signs like this in a large city?

On the way home, we stopped as we always do to collect a couple more iron pots and whatnots, our daughters are keeping up the tradition of cooking in iron (yay!). You just can't beat iron for good home cooking!
It was a great visit, Allen was happy with his researching, we loved talking to folks there and we enjoyed the Tennesee hospitality.
