After 2 months of hectic work - closed on Memphis house - 2 moves to Greenfield and Condo - we left the boxes, etc - locked the doors and made a fall time road trip to see the Grandsons - and sons.  Spent first weekend with Kenneth in Nashville - worked our way up to Harrisonburg, VA to visit with long time friend, Dean, and meet his lovely wife, Linda.  Stopped along the way in Wytheville, VA for a night and did a little sightseeing at Staunton, VA at the Frontier Cultural Farms outdoor museum - early farms of Scotch-Irish, English, Colonial, and American. Dad rented a golf cart for us to tour the place and we now think this is the ONLY way to sight see.

We then spent about a week with Robert, Marguerite and the 3 grandsons - had a wonderful visit.  We took up a bunch of stuff for them from downsizing - the Mexican Matate and Mano - 3 big boxes of books - a big plastic tub of legos which were mostly from the days of Thomas - 2 of the seascapes painted by my Daddy - Kenneth Catron, the 3 chinese abacus I bought in Hong Kong, Mom Schrupp's butterfly collection from Asia....and a few other things.  We got to see first hand the boys practicing their music, where they go to school, Matthew's Saturday football game - Gran took Bobby shopping for new shoes, a haircut and and a movie - we had fun!  We all went to Friday night movie - The Bee movie and supper out.  Then on Sunday we drove both vans over to Strasburg, PA to the famous Train place - had lunch on the Red Caboose Inn Cafe which giggles like a real train, took Amish buggy rides and rode the Steam Engine train.
