A Poem by TSBL
Hotter than Well
Ate an ear of corn
And sat a spell
Crossville Tn
In the rear view
East on the 40
Be home in a FEW

Now on a more serious note.....
Well we found a hotel room tonight about 35 miles from the WLYS area. At least they didn't issue us a TV control with our brass room key like they did last night!!
I am on Vera's computer because mine will not connect - 2nd night it would not connect. Sooo I asked Vera to give me the phone number for GeekSquad. It is listed on their brochure as 1-800-Geeksqad. So she translated and gave me the number. I called it. They answered. AND I thought what song is playing???? It was a WRONG number to some Porno #!!!!!!! I screamed and said you gave me a dang porno number. After I got her off the floor from laughing and prior to us both wetting out pants, I finally got to call Geeksqad. Their advice - TAKE THE COMPUTER BACK!!
I bought something today. We stopped at a stained glass vendor. Come to find out we pass his business every time we go to Raleigh in Pittsboro, NC. Unbelievable that we keep running into vendors from our area!!!
Well it's 11:30 and time to cut out the lights - later!!
NO PICTURES 2night- cause my computer WON'T CONNECT - using Vera's so I can post
Courtney, here is an Athens 1 H Treadmill. Great use of Horse power!
It was a pretty little Amish yard sale.
We saw Blackeyed Susans everywhere in Kentucky!
Visited Perryville, Kentucky today - home of the largest Civil War Battle in Kentucky. The place was absolutely beautiful.
Check out this field of Tobacco in Kentucky....
We had a great day - long - and lots of sightseeing:)

LONG day but very interesting!!!
I washed my bra and hope it freezes!!!
Visited the Sgt. Alvin York's hometown - Pall Mall, TN - and took the little tour but most interesting was meeting his son, Andy York. Very cool indeed!!
Drove up someone's driveway looking for a B&B, met the owners, toured their beautiful yard and they even took us inside their home!! Saw their two rental properties and drank water from a spring out of a cave. Check out the pictures Jody will be posting of the log cabin and grounds around their home. Would love to come back and spend a long weekend there!
Drove over the Lake Cumberland Dam - twice!!! Once during the daylight hours and once after dark. That was eerie and I think both of us were freaking out over it!!
Have found lots of "stuff" but haven't bought anything, really. Not sure what either of us is waiting for as we could have done plenty of buying in Crossville, TN today and then left for HOME!!! I mean just how many days can one person go to a "yard sale"??? We asked the silly question - Why August as opposed to, oh I don't know, maybe October? and was told that a large group of men and a much larger amount of alcohol, decided on the date....just saying!! Wonder what tomorrow will bring? I think that my focus will be on some good food because over here, a BBQ plate consists of a BBQ sandwich, teaspoon of baked beans, bag of chips and a drink and I am hungry!! Only a few more hours until breakfast!! Later....
Yeah....... She's UP OK
Woke up!!! Woohoo!!!
TRAVEL TIP - Never thought of this before now!! I LOVE my morning coffee - Starbucks Pike Place, black please...and I HATE the coffee supplied by hotels in the rooms. It is OLD AND STALE people, do not drink that stuff. It will make your hair kink, turn your mouth inside out and make you talk in a funny accent... Take one of those little filter packs and carefully open the end and TRASH that crap inside. Then scope out the Starbucks that you brought with you, fill up the little filter pack and lay it in the cradle with the open side up - obviously! Brew and enjoy!!! That is a fantastic discovery - I just don't know why I have never thought of it!!
So with the high temperature predicted for today, we are prepared to melt!! Lots of deoderant - hopefully it works all day!! Lots of water in the cooler, sunscreen ready to apply, sunglasses on and visor ready!! Look out WLYS - the Little sisters are about to arrive....

Made it to Crossville!!
GOT MY STRIKING PAPER!!!
It's here - Time to Go!!!!
- Got up at 6:00am - took two important pictures. One - the car is clean, ready and empty. Two - Sundrop - can't leave home without it!!! Going to the bank this morning to get the other $25.00 in ONES I want to take. I was just not comfortable having another $50.00 in ONES in the car overnight while unattended!
