Remembrances

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 36 degrees, high 63 degrees, clear skies

We had another great weather day, which seems to have been the norm since we left Florida. The weather folks are forecasting a low of 32 degrees on Saturday morning. Carolyn likes cold weather, so she is ecstatic. I like cool weather, but not the cold so much. Oh, well. If it makes her happy.......

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we lived here for five years back in the 1980s. At one time, we thought we would retire here, but as is the case many times, we were fortunate enough to be offered a job with much more opportunity in Texas. Prior to leaving Alabama, we had built a new home that we thought would be the last one for us. We went by that house today, and it still looks good to us.



While we were out, we were impressed by the amount of fall color that we saw. It's not as plentiful as what we saw in Tennessee, but it's not anything to put down.





We're always on the watch for neat old cars. Check this one out.



We visited with my sister Judy and her husband Roger today, and it was great seeing them again. Roger is older than me, which I never get tired of telling him. He has been fighting cancer for several years, so he's been through quite a bit. But, he is older than me. By the way, Judy is younger than me. Here's a picture of the handsome couple.



After our visit with Judy and Roger, we made plans to meet for supper at a local restaurant. We came home to rest after another short jaunt down memory lane. About a half hour before we were going to leave for supper, we got a call from Roger letting us know that Judy was a little under the weather, and they wouldn't be able to go out. We're sorry she was sick, but we'll make up for it another time.

More later, be safe.
