One Last Stop

I love coming to Nashville and seeing everyone.  I try to get to spend time with most of the family, but this weekend was so filled with "busy-ness" that we didn't get a chance to see Grandmother until Monday.  Our flight didn't leave until later in the afternoon so it worked out perfect.  She has done so well since last August.  After Granddaddy passed away, we weren't really sure how she was going to handle being in that big house by herself.  She has decided to start entertaining and keeping herself busy with little projects around the house.  I'm very proud of her for continuing to enjoy life to the fullest.  
Recently, she has been finding the squirrels creeping into her  attic.  She has had a "squirrel farmer" set a few traps around the house.  She wanted to see if one of them had caught a squirrel in the hopes of letting the kids see one up close and personal.  However, she didn't have one caught that day.  
Her garden was in full bloom.  I do miss the spring blossoms.  Mackenzie was taken with the purple flowers the most.  That does tend to be the color she favors.  
It was a good visit.  I'm looking forward to spending more time over there this summer.
