Brenda & Nan's 60th Birthday Celebration Trip-Louisville KY



The building where he works was once owned by a liquor company. It was owned by the Seagrams & Sons family. It was built in 1936.


When we arrived, Van took us to visit his office where he is a regional vice president for Dismas Charities. The mission of Dismas is to facilitate the reconciliation of former prisoners to society, and society to former prisoners, through development of a supportive community
We also visited the St Ann facility where he was the director. They sponsor outreach programs for the poor in the area.

We ate at Baxter Station on our first night there. We missed all those tornadoes that were in Tennessee and Ohio. We had many guardian angels watching over us.

The birthday girls. My birthday on March 3rd makes me the older yet wiser of us two. Brenda joined the 60's club on March 12. Charles took us on a 10 day road trip. Started in Louisville Ky. Van and Christa hosted our birthdays. . Then off to Ohio to continue our visit with Lacey, Richard and Payden. On our way home, we took a trip to Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains.We had a great time with a lifetime of memories
