Hi, it’s me, Ms. Honey, on the morning of Sunday, October 14;
I was picked up at home for a great adventure, a trip with Tony, Keith, Rosie
and Molly to visit my extended family in Clarksville, Tennessee. We had been
invited to be house guest in their beautiful new home, none other than Larry
and Paul.
They had asked me to visit for three weeks and I thought
that might be too long for them to put up with me. They insisted it was not an
issue. So Tony and Keith asked me to drive up with them to visit my adopted
boys. I graciously accepted as I had never seen that part of the country,
especially in the fall. Unfortunately, Keith and Tony could only stay for 4
nights since Keith had to be back to work the following Monday.
The road trip was very nice with the changing of seasons
from all green to the most spectacular colors of fall. Rosie and Molly were
great company for me during the long drive. We stayed overnight in GA and were
up the next morning for a great breakfast then back on the road again. We
arrived about 2:30 pm Monday at Orchard Hills Drive in Clarksville to Paul and
Larry’s beautiful home. Larry had the outside decorated for fall and Halloween.
We were greeted by my two dear friends of whom I’ve
missed dearly. Right then I thought 3 weeks would not be long enough! We were
served by Paul our Chef for the day a wonderful meal. Our accommodations were”Five
Star”
. I had my own lovely room
especially decorated for Ms. Honey, private bath complete with a crown over the
commode. I knew then I would be treated like a Queen. How true that was and this was just the
beginning.
Tuesday morning, we were off to Nashville to sight see
and enjoy the beautiful fall day. We had dinner at the Catfish House which was
great. Wednesday was warm enough to sit on the beautiful deck overlooking the
colorful woods in my bikini. Okay, so I forgot the bikini... Later in the day we
toured Clarksville which is a lovely city and out to the property that Larry
and Paul own out in Palmyra TN.
Thursday, it was off to Lambert’s Restaurant in Sikeston,
Missouri. It was a great 3 hour ride and well worth the trip to this renowned
Roll Tossing Epicurean delight. So much to see and eat. This place has been
featured on the Travel channel and other TV shows as the countries pig-out
place. It was an experience I won’t forget. We stopped at a place called Boom
land on the way home and did a little tourist shopping.
Friday was cold, so much for the “bikini” weather. Dinner
was at O’Charley’s and then off to an outdoor concert in historical downtown
Clarksville. Lots going on here. I
started wearing layered clothing.
On Saturday, it was off for a beautiful ride to Lake
Barkley in Kentucky. We went Antique Shopping in lovely little town of Cadiz,
Kentucky the Ham town. Then a great
country buffet at the Lake Barkley Lodge with a window table overlooking the
lake.
We made it back home for a respite then it was off to
Tiny Town Bingo for a night of gaming. Larry was a winner brining home
$250. Sunday we stayed around
Clarksville and the boys did their weekend shopping and took me to another
great antique place called Aunt Lucille’s. Sunday reminded me of my weekends
with the boys when they were in Florida. I called it schmoozing with my boys.
This was just the first week and I have two more to
go. More to come from your “Old
Southern Belle” Ms. Honey.
