Roger and I have just completed the first leg of our trip.  We spent the weekend celebrating Christmas with my sisters and their families.  There was no snow, however, we did get to wrap up in our blankets and there was a bit of snuggling because of the cold.  Even though it was cold in the morning w time did go into the river late in the morning.  We also walked the Helen streets and ate in the wonderful restaurants.  People watching was also quite a bit of fun.  But of course, the best was spending time together.  There is nothing like family.  I was so blessed that my two were able to break away from their busy schedules and spend time with us.  I am blessed!

Second Leg of the trip- Nashville

We drove through Blairsville, GA, but did not check on the farm.  Then we drove on through Murphy, North Carolina on to Cleveland, TN.  Driving by the Ocoee Lake was absolutely wonderful.  It reminded us what a wonderful artist God is.  This trip is going to give us so many chances to appreciate this.  We have arrived in Nashville around 4pm our time.  Needed some downtime.
