Alan and Cate decided to come down and visit us this weekend which was unexpected but fantastic news! They got into town about 12:30am Saturday and we headed to bed. In the morning we got up and I cooked some bacon and eggs and then Alan played Mr. Fixit around the house.
First he fixed our stereo which hasn't worked for about a month and a half. Shirley and Riley loved helping him out. It turns out after he took the thing apart that randomly somehow the knob that switches the speakers on and off was turned off and all he had to do was click it back on to speakers on. That made us feel kind of dumb but at least its fixed. He also fixed our scanner and our Microsoft Office. He is very electronically inclined as Tom and I are obviously not! Thanks Alan!!

For lunch we headed into Nashville which ended up being quite the adventure. We wanted to take them to Monell's which is a meat and three traditional Nashville place but they don't serve lunch on Saturdays. We then decided to go to the Loveless Cafe which is also a Nashville landmark but they had an hour and a half wait. We also tried a burger place which I messed up the directions and then to the Tin Angel which also wasn't open for lunch! By this time the pregnant lady was getting really hungry and cranky! We finally gave up and went downtown to eat at a BBQ place. We sat right down and the waiter took our order and an hour and 15 min later we ate. Horrible service!!!!! He even admitted that he forgot to turn our ticket in and didn't do anything to make it better like take some of the money off the bill!!! Not going back there anytime soon!!!
After lunch we took some time to walk around downtown and went to a couple of the bars to listen to some music. They are smoke free now so I was able to tolerate them just fine. We walked up on the pedestrian bridge to see the view and that was a challenge for me. I thought I wasn't going to make it up all the stairs and then the walk to the lookout!! Holy Cow I am getting big and out of shape! It was a really pretty day, a little over 70 degrees. They couldn't have picked a better weekend to come down.
We got home about 5 o'clock and it felt like midnight to me but we decided to start a fire in the back and just hang out. We had a late dinner and then went inside to watch a movie. Cate barely made it through the opening credits before she fell asleep and I made it about 10 min in. The boys woke us up when it was over, about 10:30 and we headed off to bed.
Sunday morning I got up and made everyone breakfast again... Biscuits and Gravy, Scrambled Eggs and Hash browns... Yummy however, by the time I was done cooking it I got really hot and didn't feel good so I didn't get to eat any of it... I had it this morning for breakfast though and it was really good! We layed around the house all morning and then they headed out for home about 12:30. It was so nice to have them here and especially to get to know Cate a little better. They say they are coming back after the baby is born so we will see. I hope they do!!!!
