We went to see Laurie and John’s cabin in Big Canoe. Progress is being made. The cabin is going to be a beautiful refuge in the mountains.
I’m so glad you were able to get a photo of the two of them in front. Up to know it’s been one or the other. House is looking fabulous! [Bonnie]

I was sorry to leave Laurie and John. I had a wonderful time with them. Heather and I need to come visit more often.
The photo is blurry, my fault for shaking. It comes with age sometimes.

The Bourbon Trail is amazing. And, it’s only an hour between Lexington and Louisville. And it’s beautiful horse country. [Bonnie]
Karen Anderson Love that you had Heather in the seat next to you! Tom and I explored serveral civil war sights outside of Nashville and have Chatanooga on our bucket list.

Lunch a Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen. Had Chicken Pot Pie, house salad and a glass of Chardonnay. The pot pie was ok, but the chief needs to fully develop the broth flavor and thicken it less. TheLäs mer
Resenär Because it is a “scratch kitchen”, I was expecting to wait for my pot pie. But it was brought out in 3 minutes. I was there are the start of the lunch period, so maybe they had some pot pies ready to serve. But I would not go out of my way to eat at this Chedders.

Resenär I like seeing the arch from so many perspectives. Love the full arch with the pool and leaves.

And you’re off! Safe travels. [Bonnie Benedict]
