Oh Give Me a Home Where the Buffalo (gnats) Roam!

I'm back...
Ah, it felt good to get away from it all for a week. Yeah, I know all you wage slaves are thinking: what do two retired people have to get away for? Hmmmmm....I'll get back to you on that one.

Anyway, spent 8 days roaming the Natchez Trace (almost all but about 10 miles of it). Stopped in Memphis to get good and greasy with BBQ.
Sampler Plate at Interstate BBQ.
And loaded up on Rock and Soul at, where else? The Museum of Rock and Soul. Highly recommended. Had a hard time pulling Tom away from the jukeboxes. Stopped at Vicksburg (we are such Civil War sluts). Never did get to try those Delta Tamales- oh well guess we'll have to make a trip to New Orleans now.
We ended up in Nashville to see our friends and fabulous hosts, Norbert and Joanie. For Tom's sisters: he is still the same crazy Norbert, but with less hair. The same could be said of Tom.

Meanwhile, the house progressed while we were gone. The plumbing is roughed in, so is most of the electrical. The furnace is in (pieces) downstairs and the front porch got concreted. Poor Tom. He so wants to write his name for posterity.

Garage door in, garage is huge!

Living room needs an interior decorator.

Hey Kate, you can have this bedroom or the one next to it.

View into pantry, powder room beyond and study.
Hell of a porch, Tommy.
View out the front door.
We asked one of our "neighbors" to disc and plow up the front for the farm. We got to have that truck soon! I see all these leaves and horse poop we need and I am NOT putting them in the back of the HHR!
We'll see what this week brings. Hopefully drywall.
