Sunday afternoon was a washout. While I watched mindless television in between satellite blackouts, Klep discovered how to add pictures to the blog. This is in preparation of our long awaited road trip across Tennessee the long way.
Painting the house has delayed this trip. It has also given us more time to plan, research, and fine tune what we want to do and see as we enter the Volunteer State in Memphis and take old highway 70 all way to North Carolina.
Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville will all be important stops, but what we most want to focus on are those small towns which dot the highway and the wonders of nature that will be right off the road. We want to avoid chain restaurants and motels. We are considering bed and breakfasts and even a "rustic" cabin for places to stay. We are searching out where we can find the music of the region and several good possibilities have come up.
We have also had a little additional time to tie things up here before we take off. The yards have to be mowed, mail has to be stopped, house watchers lined up, vegetable pickers invited to harvest, etc., etc., etc.
If the painter turns the last corner today, we will probably make it to the start line before the weekend. Otherwise, surely, I will be blogging about Graceland the first of next week!
