It’s fun visiting the old home town, Ashland has changed in the out skirts but in the heart of town it’s still the same. My Gram lived on Ray Marchetti St for 60+ years.

Wait till you see Framingham, Natick and some of the other areas, they have changed so much.

Enjoy your visit, I have no idea when I will be back there again. I made a trip every year for the past 6 or 7 years to see Gram but she is gone and my brother moved to Tennessee. I now have 4 brothers in Tennessee, maybe it’s time for me to go there too. : )

Your four brothers picked a good place. What cities in Tennessee do they live? I live in Bristol and Kingsport and Johnson City are a hop and a skip away! And I am very close to Abingdon VA, an old historical town! I have a nephew who lives in Nashville! And my football team is in Knoxville..the Tennessee Vols!

Not much to report today. We toured my mom's home town of Ashland. Didn't take too long and it was pouring down raining all day. It was nice to see my grandmother's old house on main street.

Then we fought massive commuter traffic down to Plymouth and are now ensconced in a lovely Bed and Breakfast over looking the boat harbor. We just had some of the best deep fried scallops I've ever tasted at a little cafe here.

It thundering and lightening and rain comes in spurts, but we don't care. We are having a great time. Wish you all were here!

I am going to bed early, we have lots of things scheduled for tomorrow. More later!

Go for it Rus. You will love the warmer weather and lack of taxes. Actually, I think you would like WV better even though I am a native Tennessean.
