ABC may have Ty Pennington and crew overhaul dilapidated homes for deserving families. But this past spring my mother came for a visit, to help us on an unrelenting list of projects that have amassed. She came for an undetermined length of time, ready to tackle them one at a time. We are greatful for the help, and we enjoyed the two and a half months she stayed. Learning to like each others TV shows was not as bad as one might think, I hope she got a more thorough look at our lives down here. We took her to some of our favorite restaurants. She was actually here close to our 10 year anniversary of living down here, but we were either to busy or having too much fun to notice. I deeply appreciate the help that she was on several of the projects I had hanging in limbo.
One of the more special days was my plan to take her out for Mothers Day. The Chattanooga Sympony was putting on a big band concert at the Tivoli. I played it off like it was a spontaneous thing when we happened to walk by the marquee, but I had researched it ahead of time and hope she would be as interested as us. How ofter do you get to hear a big band rendition of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" in that very city, only blocks from the real thing.
We had a really great time while my mother was here, I actually hope she can do another extended stay in the years to come.
