"T" STANDS FOR TUESDAY

HELLO Tuesday Friends!!!
It's been an amazing and busy week here. 
The oldest grandson (daughter's son)  graduated from high school in Knoxville, TN. 

I rode down with my son and his family and we took the scenic tour. 
Stopping at Metropolis, IL to see the "SUPERMAN" statue and museum. 



Then onto Nashville for lunch and a bit of sight seeing...
 ...The Parthenon ...
 ..trying to balance by standing on a tiny ledge with backs to the wall....


Then on to Knoxville.... 
the girls and I were impressed with the hotel we stayed in..
 ..practicing the elegant walk up and down the grand staircase...
 ...and squeezing in a couple of notes on the grand piano :) 
 ...while Isaiah and Uncle Todd catch up on current events. 
.... a walk down to Market Square for some food and more fun....
 The food was great and the portions were HUGE!!!
...lots of street art...

 and a very nice lady took our picture for us :) 
...now Ihave a gazillion or more graduation pictures but I'll just share one more of " The girl, the boy and I " ...
...then it was off to his dad's house for a cookout with enough fantastic food to feed a couple of armies....




So that was our weekend and it was fantastic!
Only one garden picture..because I have to have a garden picture :) 
My first poppy of the season :) 
Today's Random Thought...
Oh ... almost forgot the drink.. another new over sized coffee cup..

  2. Wow, Carol. This trip brought back memories of when I went to the World's Fair in Knoxville in 1980. I also stopped in Nashville and saw the Parthenon. I also shopped downtown, and bought some plants that actually made it home after the fair.

    What a fun time you must have had. I never saw much of Knoxville, except the Fair, so I'm really glad you shared it with us. What a fun trip it must have been, at least based on all the photos.

    Gosh, that is a BIG mug. Glad you remembered to photograph it. And of course, your poppy is lovely.

    Thanks for sharing your trip with us for T this Tuesday, and congrats to the grandson, too.
