Sun. morning we left our motel with expectations of a leisurely drive to Tenn. Not far into the drive we realized it would not be that. The highway signs, bridges, and some construction made it interesting, to say the least. We did stumble upon a BEAUTIFUL 90ft. high cross at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, which 51 churches had gone together to build. It was in the little piece of Kentucky that we entered for a very short time and Mike and I had been worshipping by singing praise music together in the car.  The cross was one of the AHAAA, GOD Moments!!!  It just sprang up out of nowhere.




     After that we had some minutes of humor when we entered Fulton to go and buy coffee at McDonald's. We decided the waitress had become a zombie and never found her way out, since she didn't recognize what we asked for, even though we called it exactly what it said it was on the menu. Brewed coffee.  I guess not very many people order unflavored coffee. Then we got lost in the town and were afraid we would never find our way out, like she hadn't.  I guess you had to be there...........

On Sunday afternoon we arrived in Franklin, Tenn. It was a very quaint and BUSY town, so we walked around in the afternoon and saw the historic square.  We didn't go in too many shops and got bored, so as usual, we got off the beaten tracks and walked in the neighborhoods, which is always fun in a historic district. After working up an appetite, we ate dinner in a small Italian restaurant. There was only one other set of guests between 5 and 6:30, so we hope they stay in business!  We thought Zolo's was quite good, and not super expensive either.



This one is for you, Patrice and Kathy H.

  1. There is a cross like this in Effingham, IL that we used to see every time we drove home to Missouri. Pretty cool, right? Congrats on the blog, love seeing your travels!
