Another Outing Today

 

Today my friend

Theresa and I headed out

to go to the ReStore in Nashville but apparently

I did not listen to the message correctly on the

recording....I did not hear them say they

were closed today!

 

Whoops! MLK day.

 

But we found a few things to get into.

 

Saw this as we were coming

off the interstate.

 

 

 

Just thought it was cute.

 

Since the ReStore was closed we went in

this antique store. I love to just

walk around looking. I see things

that I remember seeing at my Grandma's

and it brings a big smile.

 

I took this pic for my brother Mark.

He makes really neat things and I saw

this and thought of him.

 

Really cool lamp.

 

 

Another cool lamp. Amazing the

things you can make with other stuff.

 

This one made me laugh out loud. My

dad would take us fishing and when we

caught a fish, we could put them in a thing

like this and lay them over in the water so

they would not die.

Never would I have looked at that basket

and thought lamp.

Bottle....My mom has some old ones

like this. Another memory...when

I was young my mom and dad would

have a load of dirt dumped in the yard,

river bottom dirt. We would usually

find old bottles in it, some broken,

some whole...along with arrow

heads. Cool memories.

There was some really neat furniture and some

not so really neat.

I thought this was just UGLY!

Okay, LOCK EM UP!

Enough said.

Old set of wash tubs...these must be older

than the wringer ones. Looked like you

would heat water under one and wash the

soap out in the other...???

Then came lunch!

Arnolds.

Now Theresa tells me that Arnolds is the

happening place. Soul food, been there

forever, and yet I have never heard of it.

The line was out the door of this little hole in the

wall but we decided to stay and eat there.

The line moved really fast.

As we moved up in the line I saw this

on the wall. Guy, the food guy has been

there.

This is the first thing I eyed! Yummy....but more

topping than I care for so I went with

pecan pie instead. HOMEMADE.

My meal.....greens, taters and fried chicken,

rolls and pecan pie.

.

Best greens I ever ate. Seasoned perfectly!

How have I missed this place in all the years

I worked downtown?

Heading out the door from Arnolds I look up

at this site.

Laughing of course cause once

upon a time I wondered why the

birds line up facing the same way so I

looked it up and of course I

sent out an email to my friends as to why...

now I wonder how many folks look up

to see birds lined up and think of me??

Anyway...

they line up facing the wind, apparently it

makes it easier to take off plus it does

not ruffle their feathers while they

sit and visit with one another!

 

Thanks for stopping in,
