Grandma's 85th birthday

Terry and I had a great week-end in St. Louis for Grandma's 85th birthday. We spent the night with Kydon and Shanna on Thursday, then left Friday morning for the 10 hr. drive to St. Louis. It is always a good one...beautiful scenery thru northern Georgia and Tenn. We arrived in good time on Friday night and enjoyed visiting and working a little in the yard with Georgia and Linda. Saturday morning we took Grandma to the zoo. Met Dan and Elaine Duree and the kids (plus her folks Dale and Margo) who were visiting from Utah. Saturday was a fun fajita dinner at Marty and Cindy's and Sunday we did church and another family celebration for Grandma at the park. Uncle John was outstanding at the grill with steaks and potatoes, and we all feasted on lots of salads and cake to make it a real celebration! Monday was the long drive home, with just one stop for a hike at Stone Fort State Park in Tennessee. Very interesting to see the historic mounds made by Indians years ago and the waterfall was spectactular. We enjoyed the trip and look forward to the next time we can visit family in st. Louis.
