Over the River and Through the Woods...

I thought that you might like to see the little one lane bridge that we cross over when we take the back road for part of our trip to Vanderbilt. Today it was best that we go the back way as it gets us on the correct side of Murfreesboro if we are making a stop at Melany's house. We dropped off Alex's present this morning and took a stroll through the gardens in their back yard. Woody and Melany are in the English garden that is at the back of their yard. Melany had had to neglect it for a while when she was going back to get her Masters and then when she added teaching Motlow on to teaching art in the elementary school. This summer she has attacked it with a vengence and all her hard work is showing. Once they do some Fall planting it will be back to all its glory. She has been having fun going to Lowes and a local nursery and rescuing plants that they have marked down because they have seen better days. She has done a great job in bringing them back to life. We only stayed a little while at Melany's and then headed on down the road. We got to Vanderbilt about an hour early. Everything was handled very efficiently today and he was called in for both his appointments early but it was still a long day. The P.E.T. scan took the longest. He was back there for more than two hours...but not in the tube all that time. We made only one stop on the way home. Woody wanted to stop and get more blueberries at Krogers before their good special probably goes off tomorrow. We were gone from home eight hours and no doctor or lab included in this trip. He has those appointments to look forward to on Friday!
