QUILT SHOP AT CHAPELL HILL, TN.

If you love to sew or quilt there is a little quilt shop that is located at Chapell, Tn. across from O'Riley's that has some of the most lovely quilts I have ever saw. They have such beautiful colors in them. They also sell material there for quilting and for making the cloth purses and baby blanket kits.
All the ladies there are so friendly and make you feel so welcome while shopping. So if you are ever down in that area be sure and stop by.
If you like farm fresh brown eggs, they have plenty of those to and believe me they are so good. The yellows are so good and rich.
Just make sure you bring somthing to put them in and I am sure if you have any empty egg cartons that you throw away they would appricate them.
Just make sure of one thing, put them in a safe place like in the floor board of the car and don't do like we did and about wreck on the way home and have unfried eggs everwhere in the car to clean up and get rid of the egg smell in one hundred degree weather lol.....

SO GLAD TO BE ALIVE

After going down to one of my sons fave places at Chapel Hill,Tn. Little did we know on the way back that we would almost get killed on the way back home.
We had went out to one of his friends homes to get some farm fresh eggs and was on our way back home and getting ready to cut off of the exit when a lady in front of us must have missed her road and stopped in the middle of the exit.
There was a semi-truck behind us and one on the side. He could not get in the other lane to swrive and miss her.
So it looked like we were going to take the whole side of her car out but thank God there was just enough room to squeeze by and not let the semi-truck hit us on the left side. I still don't know how he did it.
Well so much for our eggs as most of them got broke where he had to put on his brakes so hard. I just thank God that we are still alive today......

'WAVE'' EVERYBODY START WAVING

Wave, wave everybody, wave now what are we waving at. lol.

While going down thru Nashville my crazy son had to pull one on me and his sister. He was in the back seat and started saying wave, wave.

So what did we do start waving. Now we looked like a bunch of fools going down the road waving at what? I ask him what are we waving at.
There was no one we knew beside of us on the interstate so what were we waving at.
The wave pool, a place for the kids to go play at was on the hill as we went by. lol.
