Wedding's Coming Up

Well - Next Thursday we saddle up for the trip to Florida and Steve's wedding.  Gonna be a long drive but are looking forward to it.  Hopefully the weather will hold as we hate driving in the rain.  Love to sleep to the sound of rain and tend to get sleepy after awhile of driving in it.  Anyway, it's a 12 hour drive so expect to be there late Thursday evening.  Wedding is on Saturday and we leave for the return trip on Sunday.  Plan to spend an overnight south of Atlanta on the way back so we won't get so tired, so we should be back by early afternoon on Monday.  When we get back, will have to schedule Cathy's hip replacement surgery in Cookeville.  Not looking forward to it but hopefully it will eliminate another source of pain that she has.  I'm really hoping we can get back into walking like we used to cause we both need the exercise.
     Tomorrow we gotta head for Ft. Campbell, Ky to do the shopping for our summer visitors.  We usually go there to buy our meat cause it's some of the best around and the price is less, plus we don't pay sales tax.  We buy in quantity so when we get home we separate it into smaller amounts and vacuum pack it so it'll last longer.  We just finished eating the last of what we packaged up last spring.  It's nice to be back on a military base.  Our overnight room is only about $45 which includes two dbl beds, mini kitchen with fridge, free breakfast, large screen cable tv etc.   It's a relaxing overnight for us, which we don't get to do too often.
      Before we head out for Florida, I hope to get a couple more fishing trips out on the Dale Hollow Lake.  That's another way we relax.  It's soooo peaceful and quiet out there, especially during the week days.
