A visit with Mama in Erin, Tennessee

I had the opportunity of spending a few days with my mother, Sally Douglas, up in Erin, TN. Mama is in a rehab facility recovering from a broken right hip. We were able to have lunch here at the Erin Grill.

It is always nice to be in Erin, the folks are friendly and the food is nice. As you may know, Mama lives with Dan and Elizabeth Martin right here in Erin. This visit Elizabeth has gone to Washington, DC to visit with their daughters, Heather and Sarah; so I enjoyed being with Dan.

Mama and I visited Fort Donnelson, the site of a Civil War battle, and then went on up into Kentucky to the Land Between the Lakes. We saw herds of turkey, deer, some buffalo and this elk!!!

She and I drove on down and across to the Tennessee River at McKinnon, TN before returning to Erin for supper.

Mama really enjoys looking at the pictures on her wall and reading the many cards she has received. We keep a note on the dry board so she knows where she is and why she is there.



















This is Mama's roommate, Linda Elliot. They get along nicely, Linda suffers from Huntington's syndrome, and is a very good roommate for Mama to have.

Dan and I enjoyed taking Mama out for lunch on the day that I returned home. She loves going out with family and friends. We are so thankful that Dan and Elizabeth have opened up their home to take care of Mama.
