Gosh, I'm really behind in my posts! It isn't that I haven't been doing anything, it's because I've been doing TOO much! We enjoyed going to Bristol, TN to see Kenny's family over the J

uly 4th weekend. We were delighted to welcome a new little Light into the family, our nephew's wife had a baby girl,
Mikaya Jade Light, on July 1. I had fun trying out my Photoshop techniques on these photos.
Today I went to Maryville to teach at an elementary school. After the classes, I went to visit my niece, Kendra. It was fun seein

hs, so Riley had grown quite a bit. He was 2 weeks old the last time I was at their house, he will be 3 months in 2 weeks! Cash is 4-1/2 years old and is so much fun, there's never a dull moment with him around! Riley just had heart surgery a few weeks ago for a condition called "coarctation of the aorta". It was a scary time for the whole family. We hope it took care of the problem!
Last weekend we went to Nashville to see our daughter, Lydia. We cou

ANOTHER car show! I don't know what it is with us picking hotels that are having car shows, that was the second one in a month that we have come across! This one was 1955, '56, and '57 Classic Chevy cars and the owners were a in a bit different category than the Dodge Challenger / Charger folks in Gatlinburg last month!

been there since I was a Girl Scout MANY years ago. There was a Dale Chihuly glass art show going on, we enjoyed it very much. The glass sculptures were located all over the gardens, including the ponds! I liked this photo of Lydia with the pink hibiscus and the orange glass sculpture.
Cheekwood was once owned by the Cheek family, the founders of the Maxwell House Coffee Compa
