October 15 -27, 2015 ::: Knoxville

 

Bonnie became a Soap Maker's assistant and she and Brandi made over 200 bars of soap for Brandi to sell for Christmas ... Quite an involved process but, oh, the wonderful scents and ingredients!

 

The view from Brandi's front porch with the mountains in the background is always so beautiful and peaceful.

Ivan, Taylor's boyfriend, Taylor; Ivan's parents, Mark and Sharon; Raquel, Taylor's BFF, and Brandi joined us on a  Sunday afternoon cruise for a stretch down the Tennessee River and back to Knoxville.

Jonathan, Brandi and Taylor came over for dinner the night before we departed on our trip back down the Tennessee to the Tombigbee Waterway.

We say goodbye to  Knoxville on a rainy  Tuesday morning having enjoyed fun times with family and friends ...
