On Saturday, day 2 of the family visit, we began with a nice breakfast at Meridee’s in downtown Franklin. Apparently we weren’t the only ones with that idea because the place was packed. But, it was delish as usual. We … Continue reading
This past weekend, my sister came down for CMA fest. We missed my cousins who weren’t able to come, but there’s always next year! Eugene and I pinky-promised that we would make attending CMA fest a tradition. Here we are in … Continue reading
My new favorite show is Storm Chasers. I am just now discovering it in its 4th season and I am obsessed. I am fascinated by extreme weather (specifically tornadoes), but also TERRIFIED of it. So, instead of chasing tornadoes, I … Continue reading
Last night, I went out for a lovely dinner with my aunt, uncle, cousins and sister. Uncle Brian and Aunt Vickie took us to this cute little place in Cookeville for a Cajun inspired meal. We took a poll and … Continue reading
A little while back, as I was checking the facts for my Rite Aid post, I consulted my cousin/partner in crime Lauren about when Rite Aid closed and its Cowboy Store replacement opened.
The following is our text conversation regarding the matter:
Me: “Hey! Quick question: about how long ago do you think Rite Aid went out in Burkesville?”
Lauren: “10 years probably.”
Me: “Ok. I’m still sad about it. :(”
Lauren: “I know!”
Me: “I haven’t even been in the cowboy store because I’m so sad!”
Lauren: “I doubt there’s much in the cowboy store you would need anyways.”
Me: “I don’t know about that! I might need some chaps. :)”
Lauren: “Haha well it’s not really that kind of cowboy store. And who doesn’t need a good pair of chaps? Ha.”
She’s very encouraging of my efforts to be a farmer/cowgirl/crazy lady.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to try to find an establishment nearby that sells chaps so I can get my farmer on.
Y’all come back,

I intended to eat this sweet potato. But then I didn’t. Then it started to sprout and thrive and I would have felt guilty eating it. And I didn’t really want to eat it anyway. So, recalling that in the … Continue reading
This past weekend, I went back to Kentucky to see my extended family. And, of course, I had to check on the garden to see how it was coming along. It’s not drastically different from the last report. The garden … Continue reading
Last evening, as my sister and I were headed out to dinner, there was a very pretty sunset happening. My camera on my phone had decided to black out on me and I didn’t have my big girl camera, so … Continue reading
Yesterday, I went to downtown Franklin with my neighbor to shop around at the Farmer’s market and go to lunch. I intended to come back with a bunch of fresh vegetables to cook for dinner this week. It was a … Continue reading
Moving to the South has given me the opportunity to visit my grandparents much more often. I am so excited about this not only because I get to see them more often, but also because they know how to do … Continue reading
