We're off to Alabama!

Today we drove down to Columbus, GA/Phenix City, AL to visit my grandparent's graves and have lunch with my Mom & sisters. My sister, Pam, brought her sweet little grand-daughters, Phoebe & Lily, all the way from the northern Washington state coast. She met up with her husband, Daniel, at Fort Rucker and they drove over. My other sister, Emily, drove in from Valdosta. Bryan, the kids & I picked up my Mom and headed down to Fort Mitchell National Cemetery. We also enjoyed visiting the Chattahoochee Indian Heritage Center located next door to the cemetery. We were surprised to find out the lady who was greeting people at the Fort Mitchell Visitors Center actually went to high school with my Grandfather! She remembers loving to hear him play the piano and how everyone enjoyed being around Oscar Jackson. How cool is that? It was almost 70 years ago!

Have a great Labor Day-

Ginny
