Knoxville,TN

The sun is shining and the snow is melting in this 38 degrees...traces of snow melt faster than the 2 feet of fluff we left in Ohio. Had an uneventful trip here and are enjoying sister Cheryl and Ed's hospitality...Her house and recent renovations are amazing! Now we are with calendar and phone making arrangements with people as our journey continues further South.

We didn't get off as early as we had hoped- the partying lasted a bit longer on Saturday night than we planned. It was 2:00pm Sunday before our eyes were clear, our bodies refreshed, and the black bullet was packed - ready to begin the adventure. We listened to Dr. Oz tell us how to get back in shape while the miles slipped away. No stopping for Burger King belly fat food along the way, and before we knew it we were out of Ohio...into Kentucky...and finally Tennessee. It is good to rest a while before continuing.

Tomorrow may be a long one as we are traveling from here to Anna Marie Island to stay with Dorothy Nugent for a couple of days. This is longer trip than yesterday, so an early night to bed is in order. We plan on seeing sister Connie and childhood friend, Rhonda before going to Lady Lake area and the Villages on Thursday. Will add more later...Time to get out of our Japanese morning coats and get on with the day...think we are making supper of meatloaf, sweet potatoes, cranberry-banana bread, etc...Cheryl is working us for our room and board! We put Dr.Oz and his info on hold until later....too many good things here to eat!
