As we were having dinner, a big storm blew in. Our waitress reported that Louisville had received 6 inches of rain in 70 minutes. We didn't get much of anything until we started home. When we did start home, the bottom fell out of it, and I drove in a blinding downpour for two and a half hours. At times the only way to see the road was via the lightning strikes. The rain was often hard enough to nearly block out the view of painted stripes, and the worst sections had no embedded reflectors of course! 4-Aug-2009 |

View of the early earth-working stage of the West Tennessee Expo Center being built in Dyer. The National Guard unit from Union City is providing earthwork gratis I'll be interested to follow this as it progresses. Should be a nice addition to Dyer. 5-Aug-2009 |

Dinner with the family at Crenshaw's Catfish near Trenton called for a picture of the girls. Why can't everyone close their eyes at the same time, and them OPEN them together??? Never mind, I cut and pasted faces until I had everyone mostly awake in this composite! L-R: Jessica and Beth Griffin, Angie Harrison, Natalee Reed, Cady Griffin 6-Aug-2009 |
We made it to Dyer for a week's visit in April 2009 and managed to arrive at the peak of the spring bloom season. The pink Dogwood were particularly pretty this year. There are more pictures from the trip here on Flickr. |
While we were visiting in West Tennessee, we took off one afternoon to go up to Paris and visit with some high school friends of mine. Alice Ball McCutcheon has lived in Paris for years, and her best "buddy" Carol Mannon recently retired, bought the house next door to Alice, and moved to Paris. While we were there they took us out to the Paris Winery and showed us the sights. Here we're sitting outside the soon to be open restaurant at the Winery. L-R: Carol Mannon, Alice McCutcheon, Angie Harrison, and Jim Harrison. There are more pictures from the trip here on Flickr. |

Sherry and Earl Ray Pitt, my neighbor from "back home in Dyer", recently were treated to a real whiz-bang shindig by their children, Ben and Wendy, to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I wish we could have made it! I understand they had quite a turnout. Congratulations! |
Earl Ray Pitt, who used to live next door to us in Dyer, and his wife Sherry were back visiting Dyer in April 2008, and came by to see my mother. Sherry snapped this picture of the two of them together and sent it to mother. Thanks to Natalee for scanning it for me. |
Peggy Thomas Rushing sent along this picture of her mother with the following comment: "I was talking with my mother on the phone last weekend when my brother-in-law brought her some flowers and made her photo. He then sent me a copy of the photo. I think she looks right sassy for a woman who will be 95 in January (08). " I'll certainly have to agree Peggy! |
