Visiting with Mom

I'll spare you the details of how we got from Georgia to Tennessee, but I will tell you that I will never ride on a passenger bus ever again! With that said and out of the way . . .


Once we got to Mom's, Marie took to Mom's cat Sweetie right away. Booboo was too scared of unpredictable Marie. But Marie and Sweetie became good friends.


Marie got to meet her Grandpa Perry and Grandma Teresa one morning. They treated us to breakfast at Cracker Barrel (yum yum!). In fact, we hadn't seen them since our wedding. But we think of them as family.


Mom always does such a good job of feeding us while we're home. It's a good thing that Marie is past the baby food stage because she got to enjoy some of MeeMaw's good cooking!


We enjoyed visiting with Amy too. Amy has been dying to meet Marie since before she was born. I was glad that Marie was pretty much through her fussy part of the trip and was able to play with her Aunt Amy.


Marie loved meeting her Aunt Ruth and Uncle Dike. This is beside some of their flowers on the deck. She helped Aunt Ruth cook banana pudding. She showed everyone her little Christian light. She met a cousin and got to play with a very energetic dog. Marie is going to miss the VBS here in Juneau, but she did like going to VBS at McEwen and having her Aunt Ruth as a teacher.


While there were several 'glitches' in our trip, we still had a really good time. But we sure were glad to come home!
