Pigs on the Porch and Other Tennessee Sites

 

I miss blogging!  Our year has been so busy, but I still miss sitting down and writing about our latest adventures.  We've spent a lot of time in Tennessee this year and we know it's where we need to be.  So far I've run in heat and high humidity, along with frigid temperatures (twice last month it was in the low 30s.)

 

A little frost on the grass

We were there for three weeks last month and the leaves changed before our eyes!

 

 

In spite of the weather, I have been getting out and running.  The hills are endless, but I'm pushing through.  I've seen quite a few cows, but the highlight was two pigs on a porch!  This is not a one time occurrence, I've seen them there quite regularly. 

 

We went on a little vacation in September - my good friend, Lori Long, retired this year so we took a cruise (with our husbands, of course) to celebrate!  I'll try to blog about that soon.

Six Week Check In

 

It's really a good thing I don't get paid for my blogging.  I'd be broke right now!  My last post was about the fires here in California.  We were not personally affected and I'm very thankful for that.  January ended with a trip to Hawaii so Les could do in-person performance reviews.  It's always good to be back!

 

We were home less than 24 hours when Les was headed back to the airport.  He had a work meeting in Miami.  Three days later he flew from Miami to Tennessee and I flew from Burbank to Tennessee to join him.  This will be a more common theme for us.  As Les' dad ages we want to spend more time with him.  He is doing really well, but at 92 we know that time is precious.

 

We spent 12 days there and it was SO cold!  I under-packed and had to resort to lots of layers!  I did manage to get out and run one morning, but more days than not it was raining.

 

We got a light dusting of snow one of the Sunday mornings. 

 

It is good to be back home where I am able to thaw out.  Unfortunately, I brought a cold home with me.  I'm finally feeling better and now we're looking at the first of March in just a few days!
