My wife and I were blessed to take a trip back across the “River”, the mighty Mississippi, to visit family. Our trip really began with Memphis, (where our daughter, son-in-law and grand kids live) then through Nashville, Chattanooga, and a stop in Cleveland (Tennessee) where my son lives, along with my favorite mother-in-law :-). Fall is one …
