That’s pretty much what we did on Saturday this week.  We started out early Saturday morning and drove to Sylva, NC to see my grandparents.  Then we got back in the car and headed in the general direction of home, but we stopped in Asheville to see our newest family member, Graham Esmon – cousin to the Walker clan.  During that visit, the men (and boy) folk headed out to the “local” tree farm to obtain a Christmas tree.  And by local I mean not in Tennessee.  We followed that with a lovely family dinner, then hopped back in the car to return home.  Whew!!  What a day.
