Subject: I'm "home" in TN !
Smooth flights all the way home!
*** very thankful for that I must say!
Sitting by a window, I enjoyed watching the terrain below as it was changing from shades of gold and brown to green.
Once we crossed the Mississippi River, I knew I was back in TN!
And, once we crossed the Cumberland River, I knew I was home!
I truly enjoyed my vacation!
Meeting Stewart and Lou was the best of all!
Goodnight everyone!
I luv ya's!
- BC :)

Welcome back home, BC! Glad to hear you arrived safely back, and too cool btw...
Me thinks that the whole lot of us ladies should plan a group trip out to CA for visit!
Love y'all,
Joanna

Thanks Joanna!
Now that would be a fun trip!
All of us together in one place, at one time!
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to CA ...
especially, to 4-Vines ...
having the opportunity to meet Stewart!
But, if I had gone when I had first scheduled my vacation I would probably have missed him ...
'cause when I checked the 4-Vines events schedule I noticed they were hosting a tasting in Telluride!
Here's a link for their events schedule - http://www.fourvines.com/events.html
I'm uncertain how often it's updated, but you might be able to meet up with Stewart when he's attending an event closer to where you live if you are unable to make it all the way to CA?!

Okay, now that you are back from galvanting all our God's great country----just kidding. When do you go back to the cheese wagon patrol?
What city exactly are you in?
I am just trying to see if a trip is even feasible.

Good morning Cathy! -- BC, 07:40:32 07/25/10 Sun
I live and work in Lebanon, TN - located about 30 miles east of Nashville, TN.
After today, I have five more days before getting back to the routine of work and school. But, that's a good thing ...
'cause when I have too much free time I tend to be a daydreamer! :)
I missed the new year "kick-off" meeting this past week, but when I explained to them where I was they allowed me to celebrate a wonderful birthday! :)
Anyways, this week I still have to get my DOT physical ...
pick up my new routing schedules, and get all my paperwork in order for the new school year!
Then, I'm going to finish painting ...
stil have to finish the last bathroom, kithchen and living room!
Next Saturday and Sunday, it's back to work at my weekend "home away from home" - working 10 am to 10 pm.
The "twinkie-limo" will be back on the road again Monday, August 2 - which is the first full day of our new school year.
I've already registered for my classes at MTSU - taking 6 classes / 17 credit hours.
So, the next actual break that I will have will be Christmas break! Hopefully, Spring of 2011 will be the semester to complete all of my required classes for graduation. And, with any luck I'll be student teaching and graduate in the Fall of 2011 !
All this being said - due to my schedule - I probably couldn't be the hostess that I would like until Summer of 2011 ! And, because Nashville is still in recovery from the flood, I think you would enjoy a visit here more when things are closer to normal, and looking like "itself" again! Whenever you and your family are able to visit - and, when we can synchronize our schedules - you all are welcome to "bunk" at the Cooper's house! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you someday!
With love from, BC :)

BC, I couldn't be more thrilled for you and LauraG, happy to hear you're safely home with some down time before jumping back on the hamster wheel. Hopefully, we'll all get the chance to meet Stewart in the near future.
Saving my pennies to make trip out your way with my son. I've got family in Kentucky that I want to see and thought I'd swing south and hopefully catch you. That won't be for while though so don't panic! I'm thinking the summer of 11' is as soon as I could make it.
Love bunches,
Ann
PS I hate math!

Hi AnnW ! -- BC, 11:14:34 07/25/10 Sun
*understands completely* re: the math!
My brain used to literally ache (like having sore muscles after exercising) while taking Algebra! :)
My oldest son, Chris, who has gone all the way through to Calculus said, "Mom, you're brain is just learning to process information - you're learning to think!" :)
He also said, "You don't have to understand it all at first - just look for patterns - then follow those patterns - and, eventually it will all fall into place!" :)
A great analogy for life itself in my way of thinking! :)
I would love to have you and your son visit with us here in TN, Ann! And, I very much hope that my path will once again cross with that of the handsome Scotsman! I'm still smilin' ! :)
with love from, BC :)

Re: Good morning Cathy! -- AnnW, 14:43:48 07/25/10 Sun
BC,
Thanks for the encouragement! I've taken/passed higher math previously, just didn't think I'd be taking it again. I've got well over 90% w/o reading material so far, not because I'm smart just that I'm short on time. Not thrilled with our current educational system so far,...If you get the travel bug, you are welcome here anytime,...gotta bring Lou w/u too!
Love you peeps lots,
Ann

Re: I'm "home" in TN ! -- LauraG, 22:22:18 07/24/10 Sat
Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Stewart's girls got the traveling feet!
Glad to hear you made it home safely. I told ya so.
I'm parked for the night somewhere between Portland and home.
Saw my sister and her family. Had a good time. Just love her kids and the boys are so funny!
Ron was working up at Timberline Lodge years ago and Clint Eastwood came in for gas. He saw Ron kinda checking him out and he said, "Do you know who I am?"
Ron says, "Yeah. Your Clint Eastwood.
Clint asked him if he wanted his autograph and Ron says, "No. Do you want mine?"
They're my boys!
Hmmm Wanna become a part of the family? JR is his older brother, 52 retired Navy, going back to college Baptist boy. You guys would be kinda cute together... and then I'd be your Auntie Laura. Nope none of my nieces and nephews call me "Auntie" we're too close in age for that. They call me "Your majesty."
Just kidding,
LauraG

I'm looking forward to when you can visit us in TN someday!
btw, guess who was there to meet me when I landed in TN ?!
Chris and Jason were working, so ...
Yep! You guessed it! :6
But, like I told you ...
after this week, the "bar" has been set way too high to ever go back again! I promise! :)
Thank you again for everything!
with love from, BC :)

School plans -- We3Kings, 20:45:45 07/25/10 Sun
I hear ya, BC. No worries. I was looking more late fallish or Christmas--We own at Wyndham and have a ton of points we need to use this year. I was thinking the kids and I would go up your way possibly then. We will see. Or next summer is fine if that workds for you.
We start homeschool in a week or so. I found this WONDERFUL three book system that teaches #1 what was going on in history the same time as literature around the world, and what was going on in the Bible during that time. The first book is Creation to Resurection. So it teaches Egyptian, Greek, Roman History and at the same time you learn where that fits in the Bible. Fascinating! The kids are really excited about it.
I know I took a class in college on the History of Rome. I really learned a lot in that class about the Bible and why Paul did things like he did and why Pilate did not just convict Jesus outright. Why did he send him over to the other governor and not just convict him outright? etc etc etc. Or why did Joseph take everyone to Egpyt when Jesus was born and not another country. Other than being instructed angelically to do so, there are historical reasons.
I am also teaching Spanish to the kids and to others this year: primary and intermediate level. While Jed is learning IMMERSION mandarin chinese. He loves the language and I am excited about this new step.
Jed is already working on his history project-Edison. We visited his lab in Michigan as well as his boyhood home in Port Huron. Did you know he was almost deaf. Not only that, but he instructed his girlfriend how to read and send morse code. When he was sure she understood him, he proposed to her by tapping on her hand in Morse Code-"Will you marry me?"
We aer also starting Chemistry this year. YEAH!!! We found the worlds most awesome book on elements on clearance at Barnes and Nobles. What makes this book so neat is that it is a 10 x 10 book and each two page spread shows the element name and name on the left hand page with a picture of the actual element. Then on the right side are pictures of things the element is used for, as well as a description of how it was discovered, named and other neat facts about it. "The Elements -A visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe"-by Theodore Gray.

BC & LOU- Delighted to read of your successful trip!! Now, you won't be so skiddish of air travel (smarter than driving for us 'aged individuals'. You definitely hit the high points of the north counties of California. I'm especially grateful you f-i-n-a-l-l-y had the opportunity to see and talk with the Great SFM!! Hope others have such a wonderful experience when they travel to 4Vines.
What did you think of the 4 Vines cruise? That cruise liner will be bursting at the seams!! I'm trying your recommendation of the port. Naked was my fav. Time to go-pc time is expiring!! Its hot as h-a-i-l here & I'm trying to beat the heat. God Bless You!! JAC
