With the price of gas going up, we did the absolutely wrong thing this week. We love to meander...so, with gas rising, we headed out on a road trip. We went to Pancake Pantry in Nashville...or the village, if you're a local. Breakfast was $30...and then we just started driving. We ended up going through Leiper's Fork www.leipersforkvillage.com which is a trendy little community and home to multiple stars including Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, the Judd's and Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. So we drove about 150 miles meandering through the countryside! Great day...saw lots of jonquils and blooming bushes! Today was almost as bad! We drove to Green Hills and had lunch at Cheesecake Factory and walked around the mall...of course I came out with a purse. I had to buy it...it's a Brahmin with a "woody wagon", a palm tree, a truck and a '57 Chevy...sounds crazy but it's so cool! We had already driven around our former street in Hendersonville to look at the wind or tornado damage. All in all...about 50 miles today. Now 200 miles at $3.25 a gallon! So one piece of advice...consider buying a hybrid or all electric car before you retire if you want to drive a lot!! But driving a lot is part of the fun of being retired.
Tomorrow is a sleepover with baby Savannah. Her mother is coming out for lunch and a bit of shopping before she leaves...and we keep the baby! The fun of babysitting grandbabies is PRICELESS!
Have a fabulous weekend!
