The Dixie "Die-Way" and Mar-Mar
It was a beautiful drive to Louisville- and we pulled into our KOA just north of the city- or should I say, squeezed into our site. We got ahold of Martha and Jeff and had them over for cocktails in "Maby Dick" before going out to dinner. 
I think Martha was stunned by our lifestyle- and Jeff was fascinated. He simply didn’t want to leave- suggesting take-out. Martha was anxious to get him out before he got any “ideas” about life in a motorhome. It was good to see her again- she still looks wonderful. It was, however, a bit strange- my memories of Martha were of the “life of the party” girl- always off to some exclusive party or flying off to the Derby- and full of adventure. How life changes- she’s become a suburban, golf playing mom with an SUV – traveling on Disney cruises with her son. Irrespective, we had a great time at a river side restaurant and it was wonderful to catch up after all these years. 
The following day, we explored Louisville- seeing Churchhill Downs and the huge historic district downtown. We were stunned by the block after block of beautiful old houses- in white neighborhoods. For old times sake, we drove down “the Dixie Die-way” to Fort Knox, where John did basic training. We took in the Patton Museum- the largest collection of military hardware- tanks- that I’d ever seen and drove through the base trying to find a bit of John’s past.
