What A Grand Visit!

What A Grand Visit!

I’ve probably used that title before because it is so fitting on so many levels.

Buddie’s folks squeezed time in for a trip between having their bathroom remodeled and before the children and I left for Iowa. Their timing was also perfect for helping to celebrate birthdays.

As always, many fun outings with them. This time it included a trip to the Tennessee State Museum and the downtown farmer’s market.
