1600 Miles

is the approximate distance we have traveled since last we posted.  And  two house guests.  And that is our excuse for the lack of posts in the past week and a half.  Okay, a brief recap . . .

I (Ginger) spent my first night away from Walt last weekend when Josh and I went to see U2 in Atlanta (Josh's birthday present).  It was an incredible concert, but we decided that perhaps we are too old for the floor tickets -- we need someplace to rest our weary legs every now and then.  A picture. . .

That's Bono -- Walt's role model.  Walt did just fine without us.  He spent the night at Nana and Putty's house and was apparently perfect.  (Yeah, I know, but that's what they said.)

So then Melanie (real Canadian) and Drew (pseudo-Canadian) came to visit and somehow we neglected to get a picture of them with Walt.  Very bad form.  But they were wonderful house guests and even kept Evie entertained. 

Then we were off again on Wednesday for the Thanksgiving holiday.  First a stop at Nana and Putty's house for the night where we saw this gorgeous sky . . .

. . . and then on to (Ginger's) Granny's house in Glasgow, where we spent several days dividing (the furniture) and conquering (the kitchen cabinets) in anticipation of Granny's move to an assisted living facility next month.  Here, Walt helps Granny survey the scene in the dining room . . .

And I just have to post this picture of Granny with my cousin Susannah in Granny's wedding dress, which was unearthed from a closet during the clean-out process.

It fit her pefectly -- beautiful.  On Saturday morning, we headed back to Nashville to spend one more night before going home.  This picture was taken in the bathtub (obviously) at Nana and Putty's house . . .

How cute is that?  And now we're home again.  For another four whole days until we head off to the Smokies with the aforementioned Nana and Putty.  Road warriors we are.
