Patricia and Roy's Visit

Barbara's sister, Patricia, and her husband Roy visited us for a day last week. It was beautiful day so we decided to take a boat ride on Old Hickory Lake. here is Roy catching some rays.

Here is Patricia having a great time.

We drove up the lake to the remains of Johhny Cash's old house that was in the movie. One of the Gibbs brothers bought but it caught fire during the remodeling effort and burned to the ground. This is what you can see from the lake.

Another view of the house.

We went just before dusk so we could see the art works in daylight and then as it became darker the art was lighted. The first picture show in the evening and the last picture shows the same piece as it was lighted after dusk.
