Day One: Dash to Memphis

Chirping birds woke me, an unusual event since I generally am up before them. The air still has a little evening coolness to it, the colors of the hydrangeas and crepe myrtles are brilliant, the house is painted, the bags are packed, and we are headed to Memphis. The months of anticipation are behind us. We have planned and researched as much as we want to. It is time to see where the trip takes us.

Today we will see parts of four states, more of Alabama than we really want to see, but there will be beauty. We will listen to a taped book while we roll through the early summer farmlands and small towns. I pray that the day goes well.

Tonight we will be just outside Memphis, ready to enter Tennessee from the west.
