Another weekend gone and my kitchen is once again restocked. Yes, I did the Wally World thingy yesterday with my faithful son lifting and lugging. It may sound silly, but I really look forward to that once-a-month trip with Son. He is a great shopper and bargain hunter (even for groceries). He's always pointing out that if I get this instead of that it will cost me less. He also has a way of finding unusual items that I would never have even noticed, let alone bought. We really do have a good time together, no matter what we are doing.
Next weekend Son and I are going to ride out to the Nachez Trace Parkway and take some 'Spring' pictures. So much is blooming now. It's a historic place as well. I've written about this before but for any new readers, it is where Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis and Clark Expedition) is buried. A monument was erected by the state of Tennessee in 1848, after Lewis’ remains were first exhumed and examined to be sure it was his grave!
What Is The Natchez Trace Parkway?
The 444-mile Natchez Trace Parkway commemorates an ancient trail that connected southern portions of the Mississippi River, through Alabama, to salt licks in today's central Tennessee. Today, visitors can experience this National Scenic Byway and All-American Road through driving, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping. Aren't I just a wealth of information today? LOL.
Well, that's all I have today. Catch ya later in the week. Have a good one.

Could I borrow your son to go shopping with me? I need all the help I can get. I'll be looking forward to your photos! Thanks for the education lesson. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your pictures. I love Tenn. Been there a time or two on vacation.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce. Another week-end gone & my kitchen needs to be REstocked! My grandson who's over 19 now points out things to me like that(never mind the price). Wouldn't do to go to Walmart with him. My son has been going shopping with me since his accident but he goes his way & I go mine. He's waiting in the car by the time I finish. Have a great week :).....
ReplyDeleteLove that first tag...and the last too..LOL Can't wait for your trip out with your son...bet those are going to be some lovely photos...have a great Tuesday. Hugs and love,

I'm all for stocking up and finding bargains!
ReplyDeleteI read a book a while back about Lewis and Clark. It was fascinating. I love thinking about what our place might have been like at that time. Was there anyone living here then? Doubtful. It was probably all woods.
Hugs, Beth
