Vacation report

G and I have friends, one couple from Kankakee, Ill and another from Ohio, who have bought homes in Florida and go there in the winter months. Both invited us to stay, so we planned a trip where we could spend time with both.  Since Gerry had previously spent three weeks looking up all his cousins on his mother's side of the family, we were able renew acquaintances with three of them. I was unable to post during the trip due to my inability to download pictures from my camera to my new tablet.  One more thing I need to learn.  This is our car packed up on the morning that we left. It was 16 degrees and snowing.




The first of many museums that we visited was the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. These were just two of the micro cars that we saw.

The car on the right is a Peel 50, the world's smallest car with a Moped engine. The car on the left is a two-seater Peel with the same engine. The dome made it a sauna in the summer

This car was made to go up narrow mountain roads where there was no room to turn around.  You would just hop in the other seat and drive it the other way.

I enjoyed the history and stories that were given with each car.  G looked at how they were made.  So there was something for both of us.

We then drove a short distance to Marysville, TN were we stayed night with friends, L & G, who had lived in Ohio, but moved to where the winters were not so brutal. L  is a volunteer at the local library.  It was her day to help sort books for the book sale so we went with her to see the process.

  While at the library, G came across this in the magazine section.  So to all you crocheters out there,you are being watched.

L decorates her home with paintings she had done.
I love the bright colors and I can't help but smile when looking at them.
