Saturday Scribles

Its been a good week, mostly....I began having some back pain and stiffness on Monday....which was a boomer as I wanted to
work in the studio on the Fall quilt....Daughter had gall bladder surgery on Thursday, and is doing well....
Friday Honey Bear and I took a road trip to Etheridge,
Tennessee to the Amish community near Lawerenceburg....We were
looking for some green peanuts, those that had just been picked off and hadn't dried yet, suitable for boiling....It was surely market day as we saw many a wagon load of pumpkins and gourds on the road being pulled by horses and numerous buggies also....school was in session and we saw the children outside for recess dressed in their black clothes and head coverings.....At the farm we stopped at, the woman of the house came out to serve us and two little girls followed to "see the english"....they were so precious and well behaved...no chatting or complaining but just stared...I said hi to them but they didn't respond.....Other things that made the day were the fields with fresh round bales of hay and the corn gathered into shocks....I didn't get any pictures but you can go here to see some by another blogger....We ate a lunch of peanut butter and crackers with fruit in the car as we drove and made a side track to Big Creek Winery where we sampled and were treated to a tour by the friendly owner....then back home to a dinner of tomato sandwiches and key lime pie......

  1. Sounds like y'all had a great time and winery tours are always fun! Glad your daughters gall bladder surgery went well.

  2. I didn't know there were any Amish communities in TN! Looks like this one is almost 4 hours away from us, so we're probably not likely to go there unless we're on that side of the state for some other reason. Glad you had a good visit. Hope your daughter has a quick and uncomplicated recovery.
