Sunday in Smyrna Tennessee


We went to Smyrna on Sunday to visit with cruise friends Karen & George. We had a very nice barbecue lunch and met a couple who moved to Smyrna from Oregon.
Karen's daughter and family stopped in briefly. With 5 kids, it made me tired just watching them.
After lunch we played a card game called "Hand and Foot". It was the men against the women, and we were told that the women always win. Even with Karen keeping score, the win streak was broken!!
When it was time to leave, it was discovered that the Amazing Race was on, so we stayed to watch it. We dined on more southern cuisine during the show. We said our goodbyes for now, and drove back to Hurricane Mills in the dark.
Now we are fixin to head for Crawfordsville Indiana. With that we will say goodbye to the southern hospitality we have been extended and continue heading toward the Northwest.

Glad you got to visit with Karen and George and family. Sounds like you had a good time, sorry you girls didn't win the card game (the guys must have cheated). You have met so many new friends along your journey, you are truly blessed. Hope to visit with you guys again soon. Keep the cards and letters coming (sort of speak). Diane
