My WoooooHHHOOOOO! Guys and Gals; A very Special Person is coming for a visit this Sunday the 13th of October. NOOO! It's not the Great Pumpkin; nor is it Jack Frost; Nope..Not the Holiday Turkey or Santa Claus!! I am so ecstatic; I tingle all over!!! Who is it you Ask??? My very Special Daughter!!! I used to visit her and the Grandkids after I was done working at Adventureland in Iowa in October before leaving to work at Amazon.com.
This time she has the opportunity to visit; just her and I; that was a song by; Alabama back in the 80's. This will give us the opportunity to share some great quality time together as well as take care of some paperwork with the living will; have to put that into perspective as I'm not getting younger.
She always wanted to go to a real great BBQ restaurant that serves Brisket. Guess what; I live in this town in Tn. that the locals claim is the best in the state if not the whole USA! That's right! Go to; "The Blue Moon Café" on the internet in Lebanon, TN. better yet f your in the area give me a shout???
Also want to take the Music City Star train into the City so "her and I" can spend the day sightseeing and maybe take the paddle-wheeler excursion on the Gen. Jackson on the Cumberland. Yes folks: this is going to be "Special". PIEERE

Sounds great. I think she will be more fun than the Great Pumpkin.

I do agree with Bill and will add that it might be like Thanksgiving. It is always great to get to be with family.
Enjoy, Ed.

Oh Pieere that sounds wonderful. I just was able to spend three weeks with my dad, who is 93. My sister flew him to CA and we were there to be with him. It was so special to be able to spend that time together. Your plans sound like lots of memories will be made. Have fun!

I'm so envious! I have son out in CA and I rarely see him and then, one-on-one time is almost impossible when I do. Enjoy!

Your excitement is contagious! I went to Ireland with my Dad back in 2004, just he and I, and from the daughter perspective, she will cherish the memory of your time together as much as you do!
Let us know how it goes!

Kinda sad; My daughter had to leave early this Sun the 20th. Her babies; my grans wanted there mommy; so I had to let her go!
Bitter-sweet; but the memories will be remembered forever and now I am looking forward to next June or July when I will go to Michigan for a visit with them.
We had many meals out and had 4 great days of weather. Visited the local Town museum, shown her around town and spent a gorgeous day in Music City. Hung out mostly on Broadway; called Music Row! Went to Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville where we had Conch friiters and quesidelias. What a gorgeous Riverfront where the train stops. Did I say we took a train ride! $20.oo for both for a 60+ mile round trip.
I wish to Thank all who responded to this post and welcomed your comments! PIEERE

Awww Pieere,
We can totally relate. We'd love to bundle them all up and keep them with us, it's so hard to say goodbye to our children. Glad you made such wonderful memories together. Sounds like a wonderful time!

Hard to believe my youngest girl is 38+ Yrs. now. I hope to be able to go visit a few relatives in my home town of Plattsburgh NY and then over to see her and the grans in Michigan this coming Spring. I have said before that "life is to short"; if the opportunity in one's lifetime to achieve your "Dream" knocks on your door it's a sign to follow. PIEERE
