After almost 10 hours of rain, we arrived at our destination. The next time it rained, we were on our way home.

Ed and Dorothy arrived from Arizona one day ahead of us.

Karen and Velma sit in the yard, listening to water spashing into the garden pool.

Our hosts were Marge and Mike. Karen and Marge have been friends since grade school. Karen, Marge and I went to high school together.

Ed, Velma and Dorothy enjoy the large screened porch.

A variety of plants and flowers surround the pool.

Karen, her mother (Velma) and I spent a few days in Brentwood, TN visiting long-time friends.

Velma and Marge's mom, Dorothy, have been friends for more than 50 years.

The view from the breakfast room takes in the deck and some of Marge's flowers.
