Labor Day Weekend

Gpa and Gma drove to Nashville Saturday morning. We stopped in Harriman to eat breakfast and got on the interstate there. We stopped again in Crossville and shopped at the outlet mall. I bought some pants and a sweater at the Koret outlet store. After visiting every rest stop we arrived in Mt. Juliet at noon. David and Scott and Todd were madly cleaning house...David was rushing around putting things in order and Scott and Todd were making up the guest bed for us. Melissa arrived later. She had been taking Kevin and Summer(Connie's children} for a tour of Nashville. They had eaten lunch at the Wild Horse Saloon, so Melissa fixed us a soy butter sandwich and a piece of Tang pie.
David and Gpa and Gma took a long walk to Charlie Daniels park David said it was at least two miles.
Nancy and Clancy arrived, and we girls started putting together beef and chicken kebobs for supper...Melissa made peach ice cream to go with the Rhubarb Strawberry Pie for supper. Scott was the grill man and he cooked the kebobs . Melissa put together an eggplant dish. OH yes we had crab stuffed mushrooms on the skewers too.
All this happened while the UT California game was going on.We enjoyed watching David watch the game. He played hard!!! Todd and Allison arrived to watch the game. That made 11 people for supper. It was all delicious...
Sunday we all went to church and then back to the house for a wonderful lasagna lunch with Melissa's delicious chopped salad . And some more of those good deserts with added carrot cake that Nancy brought.
We had another walk with David..Their place is in such a nice neighborhood for walking .
Sunday night after church we went to visit Nancy and Clancy in their new house. It is so nice and in a quiet little neighborhood that has the nickname..Mayberry. It's close to a huge new shopping center with a super Krogers and Target , Pennys, and every other shop you can think of.
Nancy and Summer served pizza for supper...
We got to talk to our grandsons and to see them all dressed up at church..What a treat!
Melissa and David went all out to entertain us.. It was wonderful.

Soy butter sandwich? That's no way to treat your favorite mother-in-law! I would have served you a filet mingon. And key lime pie.
