Went to see grandson Ben's graduation from Indiana University in May. Most of the summer, we spent in Baton Rouge. Enjoyed our annual garden with a great crop of tomatoes again.
In September we spent two weeks in Alaska. The first week we took a land tour from Fairbanks through Denali Park, then boats, busses, and trains. The countryside was beautiful, revealing much snow on mountain tops, grizzly bears, moose, glaciers, and many white sheep on the hillsides. The transportation was somewhat strenuous. The second week was a cruise from Seward on a Holland America ship which was much more restful.
The last week in September, our friends from Italy (Betty and Antonio) came for a weeklong visit. We enjoyed showing them various sights in South Louisiana and just visiting with all our family.
Early in November, we took a driving trip with stops at Jackson, Mississippi for lunch with our good friend, Susan Wiggins. Then on to Memphis for two days visiting with our ballet dancing grandson, Ben. Following this we continued driving across north Arkansas to Branson, Missouri where we spent three days and nights enjoying the country music shows in some of the 100 theaters there.
Little Rock, Arkansas was our next stop for a short visit with a niece, (Brenda) and then to Hot Springs to visit another niece (Martha Sue), and after that another niece (Kay) in El Dorado.
We were then glad to return home, but we enjoyed visiting friends and relatives.
