Letty and I have the most interesting things happen to us. We had planned to drive 2.5 hours to Tuscaloosa to drop off the contributions from our family and neighbors for tornado victims - then 2.5 hours back to Huntsville.
I wasn't looking forward to that in the 95 degree heat. This morning we got a telephone number of a possible drop place in Decatur, a mere 25 miles from our abode. We had an approximate address, but we stopped at an information services place in town to check on the address. The lady who helped us recommended we go to the old district of town, and gave us the name of a good place to eat. We found the warehouse, run by the Methodist church. Inspired by Letty's reluctance to strike up a conversation :=) we ended up visiting with the volunteers for 30 minutes. Letty now has the name and phone number of a lady's daughter in Minneapolis for her to call as we buzz through there in a couple of weeks. We drove to the old part of town and found the deli, called TimBucks2. Our lunch was so yummy - true southern comfort food. We visited with our waitress for 30 minutes or so. A rather petite lady who has 10 kids. Her parents lived in Mt Home while he was in the air force, and her older sister was born there. Her second oldest daughter wanted to go to Dartmouth College (where I went 55 years ago), but she ended up at Auburn instead. Her oldest two are going to be doctors!
Everyone down here knows about the blue grass at BSU, and several have said they root for us.
Tonight is quite, and tomorrow we go to Sewanee TN for a visit with one of Letty's suite mates from college.
Until next time.....blessings to all.
