We recently had a couple of quick visits with family. First, we spent several fun days with hubby's brother and our sis-in-law in Tennessee.
One day we explored the very pretty Chickasaw Trace Park on the biologically diverse Duck River in Columbia, TN. We discovered a nice array of areas to please almost any outdoor enthusiast as we observed and enjoyed kayakers, swimmers, mountain bikers, RC areas, picnic tables, log cabins and more.
We hiked a trail until a nasty
mud puddle refused to let us pass!
(l-r, Middy, Jack, me)
Geo was thrilled when we stumbled
across an RC flying field in the park.
(An RC car track was in the park as well.)
Geo has a plane in the RV, and if he would
have know this was here, you can bet
he would have brought it with us!
Yes, he would!
He chatted it up with the RC fellas who
offered him their cards so when we return,
he can meet up with them.
We wandered through Derryberry Log cabin,
one of the first homes in the area.
Another day, we checked out an
RV park on the clear Piney River.
Notice the people up on the cliff.
I wonder if they dive from there.
We didn't see it.
We saw kayakers making their way through
the lazy water though which looks like fun.
Don't look for them!
There's not any pics.
We also spent time visiting and hanging out.
Geo is relaxing on Jack & Middy's lovely deck...
... and so are Chewy & Elmer!

After we left Tennessee, we scooted a couple hours up the road to Kentucky where my sister and our bro-in-law recently purchased a lake house on Lake Barkley. They had a trip planned for later in the week so we were only able to spend 1-1/2 days with them.
The first afternoon, Randy & Sue drove us around the nicely wooded area. The next day, we headed out to find an A-frame that Geo's Dad and Uncle built when Geo was a kid.
Found it!
The owners were outside and the
very kind lady invited us in for a minute.
Geo's Dad and Uncle also
built this wagon wheel light fixture.
After the A-frame, we stopped at
in
Sue & Randy
Geo & yours truly
We finished up the visit at the lake house where we
savored the lovely view of the lake and their dock!
Sue & Randy will be putting their pontoon in the water after their trip and we look forward to returning for a boat ride!
Smiles,
