Off We Go!

Mom and I, left early this morning for our journey to Mamaw Stapleton's house for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our basic itinerary is trip down today, Thanksgiving at Mamaw's on Thursday, Shopping on Friday, Genealogy visit on Saturday, and our return trip with a side trip to visit with our cousin Wanda on the way home. We're looking for good weather and to have loads of fun, and perhaps learn a few new things about the family while we are there.

The trip down was terrific. We had wonderful weather - it was overcast, but no rain; after we reach Abington the sky began clearing up and we had sunshine the rest of the day.

We stopped here and there to take a photo or two. We saw a beautiful hawk sitting on a power line and made a side trip to see if we could get a photo, alas...he had left by the time we arrived back at the spot. However, the side trip was not a loss as we were able to get several photographs of an old house and barn along the road, Seven Mile Tree Road and Mud Pike. The street names were really interesting. We took these near Radford.



We took this one as we were driving down Interstate 81 towards the Tennessee state line.
After we got to Mamaw's house we had some coffee then ran out to the grocery store for Thanksgiving fixings. Then we had dinner at the local Chinese restaurant.
