September 22nd--On the Road

weather: warm and a bit muggy

amount spent: $1.50

comments: We are out of town this week, but still managed to fit in a little saleing. Thought we'd spend this morning doing a little cuuh hunting, so I checked the garage sale listings in the local paper and Craigs List and learned that there was a town-wide garage sale going on about 60 miles from here, in Lawrenceburg, TN. So we headed in that direction to see what we could find. We went to quite a few sales, but didn't find a whole lot of interesting cuuh. We did manage to have fun looking, and saw some beauiful scenery along the way, so it was worth the trip.

• hot air popper, suitable for coffee bean roasting - $1
• 2 spools metalic thread - 25 cents each

After we tired of looking through the local cuuh offerings, we took a short drive around Lawrenceburg and through the David Crockett State Park, located on the edge of town. It's a nice park with lots of picnic areas, a couple of campgrounds, a swimming pool (closed for the season), a restaurant, small lake, and lots and lots of trees. Here are a few pictures I took in the park:

Here is Joe on a covered bridge (clearance 10'10") over a tiny creek

Nice view of a river a short hike from the road

In this picture, Joe is laughing about the slippery rocks and his wet foot.

Although we didn't find much cuuh this morning, we had a nice drive, saw a lot of pretty scenery, and had a fun time. Lawrenceburg was full of really pretty crepe myrtle blooming, unfortuneatly none of the pictures I took of them turned out, I'm still working on learning the new camera. And perhaps it is best we didn't buy much, as the car is already quite full with Traveller and all our other stuff...
