On Friday, Oct. 24 we went for dinner (lunch) to Reelfoot Lake. This is just one of the Catfish restaurants near the lake. It just happened to be my first cousin Wayne's birthday. He and wife Charlene drove from Cleveland, TN (which is in the south east corner of TN) to spend the weekend with us. We felt so fortunate to be able to spend his birthday with him and with so many of our relatives. 
Frank had never seen Cyprus Knees growing out of the water, so we took a walk down to the lake and took some pictures. I remember the first time I saw them, I was awe struck, because I'd never seen any thing like this.
These knees are on the bank of the lake,but there are some that grow right in the water, where it isn't very deep.
Above, some of the Cyprus Knees growing right out of the water. Some of the trees in the background are putting on their fall colors. It was a beautiful day.
We all stopped at the RV, so our friends and relatives could see how we live. There were 12 of us in the RV. It was a lot of fun to have everyone here.

We got there early and they drove us around Martin, and even drove us by the place I was born. It is now a children's day care. The building was torn down and the new building put up. I'm amazed at how many relatives I have in Martin. I didn't know there were so many cousins, and cousins children and their children. We didn't get to meet all of them! Guess we will have to come back again.
Over the weekend we managed to go to a movie. "Fireproof" was the name. It is a movie that was produced by a church in Albany, Georgia. It was a very good Christian movie, with a great message about marriage and relationships.
We also went to church with Wayne, Charlene, Marshall and wife Sarah. Marshall and Wayne went to school together and have remained friends all these years.
