Kathy goes to Franklin, TN

 

My missionary sister, Kathy, flew down to visit us during the time the Washington DC Temple was closed for repairs.  I didn’t get a picture of us playing board games, but we managed to do that several times almost every single day.  Frozen yogurt was another favorite on our list. We also learned all about the Battle of Franklin, one of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.  Thanks for the visit, Kathy.

My good friend, Fran, let us tour her beautiful home filled with art. This one is by Kirk Richards, "Song of the Heart"

We celebrated three October birthdays: Kathy, Allen, & Ben

Cousins enjoy the birthday treats

Very nice, it was great to see Kathy again and let the younger kids get reacquainted with her! And the historical Franklin stuff looks fun, next girls visit?
