Drive off the beaten path!

Pay attention to where your are while talking on the phone. Less backtracking that way!

A few observations: Suduko and curvy mountain roads is not a good mix!

Now on a more serious note.....

Vera was extremely over active today in the car!!!  I wouldn't ever act like she did!!!  We had a laaate breakfast - say around 11:00 cause we couldn't FIND anything to eat.  Then around 3:00 she decides she is so hungry so she begins her hunt in the car for something to eat.  Bells are dinging cause she is out of her seatbelt and we are on some curvy mountain roads.  She finds my Maple Nut Sugarfree Fudge!!  Next thing I know she is cutting her a bite and handing me some.  I guess that was to disguise the fact that she was eating it. Finished that, went for the white cheddar popcorn, finished that and started looking for something else.  TIME TO STOP and get out of the car and let her get rid of a little of that energy! Well we did and do you know what melted maple candy looks like on the inside seam of your shorts - hahaha.  She had to scrape that expensive candy off her shorts, around say... her knee area - between her legs that is.  I couldn't stop laughing.  Ridiculous!!! 
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

Kathy & Sherry, SOCK MONKEYS everywhere even at the Amish yard sale!!


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!!!

Started out in Crossville.  Spent hours and realized we had only been 1 1/2 miles - no kidding.  You can't imagine how much stuff is here.  Check out this lady we met.  She was in one of James Bond's movies we think - you guess which one!!

Kasey, we found you a dress for the next cruise:)

I told you the twa-lettte thing was gonna be an issue.  Well check this out!

We don't even know this woman but she was willing to do this in public!!!!

Oh yeah, I said earlier that we met Ricky Martin, well here he is:

We also met a vendor from Mt. Pleasant, NC - unbelievable - they were actually the first vendors we talked to:

We went to Sgt. Alvin C. York's homeplace.  He was the most decorated soldier in World War I.  His son Andy was the tour guide at the home place. Sgt. York's story is awesome - Gary Cooper played Sgt. York in the movie about him.  Detouring the yard sale to see this was truly an honor!!!

It take a long time to load pictures.  I wish I could load them all but will have to share then via Wal-Mart photos later cause the Internet connection out here is lacking especially when you are staying at motel issues a brass key to get in your room:)

Off to bed for some much needed laying FLAT!!!  Can you say NUMB BUTT??

Headed to Perryville, Ky tomorrow.

I washed my bra and hope it freezes!!!

What a day! We drove at least 10 hours TODAY and only went 200 miles - if we were lucky. So tired but still keyed up. There are thousands of people here but WAY less hotel rooms...it took us a long time to find a place tonight. When we did get here, again after a couple of wrong turns, (what can you expect from directionally challenged DOT the gps?) the room was so HOT - probably 90+ degrees!!! They gave us a floor fan in the office and the AC has finally started spitting out some cool air.

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....
