This is the end of our Nashville - Memphis Blog. We left  Tennessee with many wonderful experiences, insight about the areas visited and, without doubt, it's clear that our country has many wonderful places to check out.

And now, back to the "REAL" world.
     - Jerry went to the market for a few things for dinner - $80!
     - We needed to buy gas - Brentwood 76 gas is $5.29 - Memphis
       is around $2.19
     - It was evacuation time again - there was a fire near us. This is
       the third time we had to be on an alert or evacuate. Grrr!
     - Cable news, politics and the homeless are issues back on the
       front burner

Time for another get-away. Stay tuned!
