Meatloaf Sandwich, Keys, The Decision

 

I stopped at Mary Belle for lunch 

yesterday. I have been there before, and

I have shared meals from there along with the 

seasonal cute names for coffees and such.

I saw on the menu was a meatloaf sandwich,

how good that sounded.

I came to me, stuffed and sliced for 

easier eating.

I was so thick I almost could not

get my mouth around it.

Four bites in and a couple of fries, I 

was done. Packed it up in a to go

container and was able to finish off

the one slice I started on earlier.

I only had two bites to go, so I ate those

before bed last night hours after I 

had eaten out.

Morning rolled around and I had

on whole slice of sandwich waiting, along

with fries. 

Heated up the meat and ate a few bites

for breakfast and finished it off for lunch.

Four meals off one.

It was DELISH.

I know I am probably not telling you

anything you don't know, but

I am not a really organized person.

Plus, I tend to place things in places

that makes no sense at to begin with.

With all that said, over a week ago when

I cut the yard, I sort of misplaced

my mower keys. I stressed for days over

this key, looking all over where I thought

I might have set it. Walking through the 

yard to see if I dropped them.

Finally, "I HAD A DREAM"!

Yes, I had a real dream, and smack

dab in the middle of that dream,

I saw my mower keys, laying on

a gray surface. I took that as my sign.

On Wed. morning, I did a load of laundry

and while taking the load out of the 

washer I saw my mower keys laying 

in there on the gray surface.

Sometimes a dream has meaning, sometimes

it might not. I can't always read mine and 

most times I don't even try. In the case of 

the keys, they appeared for just a min. and did 

not actually fit within what I was dreaming.

I WOKE so fast, smiled and rolled over to 

go back to sleep.

I know those of you that followed me before

my move to rural TN., you are aware of the venue.

I worked there for four yrs just as it 

started to bust at the seams.

I was at the venue two to four times

a week working, never saying no when

asked. I did love it, however, before my move

I had decided to back away some due to my

health. 

I have continued to watch the venue post

and weddings from there. I also, from 

an hour and 15 mins down the road, noticed 

changes coming. 

I picked up on many, many things that the 

venue was slowing down. James retired from the 

US Postal Service, so Julie and him started 

booking less so that they could do things 

for themselves. 

A yr and a half ago, Julie lost her brother, 

and being they only had each other, everything

Wayne had went to Julie. House, motors, 

boats, cars....

I saw the biggest change coming when

they bought a lake house in Big Sandy Tn.

I was in town and I went by to talk with them.

At that point, they were on the fence on 

what they were going to do. Stay in Mt. Juliet 

and have a lake house or move. I knew the answer when 

they told me that.

So, after the first of the yr. 

The Bright Place, Home of 

TN Tiny Weddings and Glory Rides,

will be sold.

Will TN Tiny Weddings relocate?

I feel that maybe Julie would like to 

try that, but I also know, that rural area might

not be the place that the venue would survive. 

Glory Rides, rebuilding of old cars and trucks

has an amazing garage to move too....

but I guess we will have to wait and see 

if Tn Tiny Weddings lives, or dies.

James and Julie are 1 hr and 15 min from me, 

Big Sandy is 1 hr and 25 mins from me off

towards Tn/Ky line. I think. But with a guest house

 on the property, I have been told I can come 

and stay a weekend whenever.

Why decided to move, Julie and James are

not out there on the lake in Mt Juliet with 

the peace it used to have. Hermitage had moved

in right up next to MJ. and MJ has moved right into

Lebanon. Those cute farms with little homes and 

rustic barns are going away and the growth of 

the area I lived, has grown so much in two yrs. 

I don't blame them for wanting out.

Like my daughter in law, with her having 

her license, she is starting a new chapter to her

life. One that up to this point she has worked for, went to school

for, studied for all her life to get to her dream 

job. 

Same with James and Julie, they have worked hard,

it's time for them to enjoy life, but I know them,

they will find something else to get busy with.

Here is wishing them a fantastic new start 

to the next chapter in their lives.

I know it will be hard for them to leave

the Bright Place

but they are loving the lake house.

And from the pics I have seen, 

it will be a good place for them.

Even though Julies brother has

been gone almost two yrs., 

in Sept we will have a party to 

honor him. Prob our last garage get

together at the Bright Place, 

Home of Tn Tiny Weddings and 

Glory Rides.

Stay tune to future post on the life

of Tn Tiny Weddings.
