Day 38, Friday 10-16-15 Jackson, Louisville and Knoxville, TN.

This morning we drove down the hill to Casey Jones Village to get some pictures.  It would have been great to have been able to spend some time here.  This will be a come-back-to when we visit friends in Knoxville.  Casey Jones, while a legend, was a real engineer on the  Illinois Central Railroad.

The house Casey live in with his wife Janie.

 

Our next stop was Louisville, TN where Linda’s step-aunt lives.  The two don’t see each other very often (like every 25 years) so it was a chance for the gals to discuss where and what everybody in the family is up to.  They had a good reunion.

 

 

Bill, Dusty, Lacey and Pree 

Our next stop is in Knoxville to visit Bill and Pree.  We all met back in 1972 when Bill and I attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.  We have kept in touch all these years and when they were living on their sailboat “Night Wind” and we had “TwoGether” they sailed north from Titusville, FL to the Chesapeake Bay for the summer to visit us.  At this point they are enjoying retirement with the occasional trip to TX to visit their daughter and grandkids. 

Here I come!!

Pree has a new puppy who is six months old.  Lacey is all puppy.  As Linda wrote in her journal “Lacy is a little fireball”.  She took to Linda right away. 

 

 

We always have plenty to catch up on even though we email and are on the phone together several times a year

Pizza delivery seemed like a good idea.  It was and we feasted at the kitchen table.
