... of thanks, his efforts and success in the early years of the association helped create the strong foundation we all now build on. It was great spending time with the Mortimer's in their beautiful Tennessee home. John does many screened in porches and it's a good thing because the mosquitoes are so BIG in Tennessee they could carry away your small children!

... some more and had breakfast (my breakfast was pieces of Reese's and caramel cake -- I'm going to be the size of a house when I get home).

Linda and Dave had helped us the night before to get directions to Nashville and Brian reserved a hotel room, so we knew we had lodging.
