Washington comes to Middle TN II (Chick-fil-A, James meets Payne, and Belle)

Rachel, Adde and Payne's ten day visit was full of many fun and exciting events (some small and some not so small).  In this blog, I am including some pictures of a visit to Chick-fil-A, James' and Payne's first meeting and Belle's secret of handling the stress of the grandkids.

I just love that smile

The beginning of a very interesting relationship

Adde was very sweet and gentle with Belle but grandkids' visits sometimes create stress for her.

but Nonie found a way to relieve Belle's stress

Washington comes to Middle Tennessee - Part 1

The long awaited arrival of Rachel, Adde and Payne occurred earlier this month and what a wild and crazy time it was for all.  Adde and Payne were overwhelmed by her Tennessee cousins and it was quite a blessing to watch them all interact with each other.  Family is a wonderful gift from our Lord.  I found, after reviewing my pictures that there is no logical pattern to them .... I just snapped a picture when the mood struck me so have included the first batch for your viewing enjoyment.

The "cousins table"  (not sure why Mandy was there but maybe to keep order?)

Caleb - the bottomless pit

Lydia - almost a smile

Payne - That smile melted some hearts

Zion Comes to Leiper's Fork

This past Monday our Sunday School class from Zion Presbyterian Church drove up from Columbia and we all had lunch at Country Boys Restaurant in Leiper's Fork.  Afterwards, we  met at our home for coffee and fellowship.
