Got an email from Kathy saying her plans for today had fallen through so she would be home early. Bobby and Kathy are so busy, we wanted to get in as much as a visit as we could so we left around 10:00 AM. We stopped at the local Subway for their breakfast flat bread sandwiches, then on the road.
The trip to Mount Pleasant is about 3 hours. It was a beautiful drive. It’s been almost ten years since we’ve been back to Tennessee but the closer we got to Mt. Pleasant, the more it seemed familiar.
When we got to Bobby and Kathy’s house, Bobby was outside on one of his many toys (a big tractor). He moved it out of the way so we could park.
Bobby and Kathy live in a gorgeous home overlooking their own private lake. The house used to be a family cabin, which they have expanded many times, so it’s full of history and love. They have 5 dogs, 1 cat, and many cows – fun place.
Was so good seeing Bobby and Kathy. Such nice Southern folks. Kathy’s brother, Wally, and Wally’s son, Hank, came by around 3:00 PM for a visit too. Was wonderful. Kathy had made a chicken spaghetti casserole that her mother, our Aunt Merle, used to make. Was so good. Wally’s wife, Wanda, had made a chocolate meringue pie and an apple dumpling dessert dish for us too. Everything was so good and it was so nice to get a good, long visit in and catch up. It was especially wonderfully seeing Wally and his recovery from some neck surgery.
Around 10:00 PM, we headed to bed. Bobby and Kathy’s house is huge, 5 bedrooms, 5 fireplaces and 4 bathrooms. Lexi was in a beautiful bedroom upstairs and we were in a wonderful suite downstairs. We plan on leaving in the morning at the same time Kathy leaves for work (around 9:30 AM).
