I just got back from Tennessee. Jody's mamaw passed away. She was 103 years old. She looked beautiful and had a smile on her face. It was a beautiful service. She had 10 children (8 are living), 31 grandkids, 59 great grandkids, 25 great great grandkids, and 3 great great great grandkids. It is a very huge family. She lived a very long life. She is now with her beloved Sam, 16 years later.
I ate so much country cooking it was not funny. If my metabolism was not as it is as well as my genetic makeup, I would have definitely gained some weight.
It was also nice catching up with family that live up there. I'm very close to his sister, his cousins, and their wives. I also got my dose of kiddies as well. One thing that Jody and I decided a long time ago was not to have anymore kids. My baby is 13 years old and well, we do not want one graduating high school and going to college and then starting all over again. We love the freedom that we have with having older kids. So, I get my fill of my baby/toddler nieces and nephews and I get to hand them back off to their parents :). It is perfect.
All in all, it was a wonderful trip, despite the reasons that we went up there for.
