Our time in Tennessee visiting family and friends always puts us in a whirlwind as we try to get in all the visiting, shopping, and of course eating! We made our last visit right before we left in June for our summer trip, so it was time once again for a reunion. We got to visit with all the family: Mama Grace, sisters Mary and Sissy, along with the brother-in-laws, nieces, and nephews.

This trip home was also special because I got to spend time with some friends... from grade school through high school...who I had not seen in several years. During the summer, I missed my 40th high school reunion, but I had kept up with all the communications about the events. Karen and Jackie joined me for lunch and were able to catch me up on the reunion and other events that had been taking place in their lives. It was great seeing them again, and we all agreed that we shouldn’t let so much time go by without keeping in touch!Life Long Friends
Of course I never go home without getting to spend some time with my best friend Sherry. We always try to get together for a little shopping, dining time, and maybe even a little “wine” time! While I spend time with Sherry, Frank usually hit’s the links with his good bud Smitty.

We also had a new dining experience while here. My niece Lane and her friend Adam told us we just had to go to a place called KirkenBurt’s for “Redneck Nachos”! This concoction was made with tortilla chips, melted cheese, pulled pork barbeque, and white beans, covered with barbeque sauce. DELICIOUS!! Great place and we will definitely go back. KirkenBurt’s is owned by the brother of our good friend Ray who we visit when we go through Birmingham…Suzanne and Ray. Kirk of KirkenBurt's...Home of the Redneck Nachos!
While in the “Boro”, we also planned a long camping weekend with friends at nearby Defeated Creek on Cordell Hull Lake. That turned out to be quite the adventure! Read about that in the next entry! Love to all our family and friends in our hometown!
