We woke up in Tennessee

This quilt is from the 1800's
and had lunch in Alabama and now we are going to sleep in Mississippi.  How about that? We enjoyed our couple of days of a food coma and TV stupor but woke up this morning ready to head em up and move em out! 


Example of Jefferson and
 Palladian architecture


We took a tour at Belle Mont Mansion in Tuscumbia, AL. It is being restored and was very interesting. There are no kitchens in the southern mansions.  All the cooking was done in an outbuilding away from the home.  One of the bedrooms had a lovely compass quilt on loan. 

We stopped early at JP Coleman State Park. It was nice to sit in the warm sunshine in the chilly air and enjoy the view of the Tennessee river. We saw a huge barge going up the river. Maggie and Sadie are enjoying romping through the leaves.

    That is beautiful country. We did that same lunch/sleep thingy in different states this summer. Fun, fun...and a great way to see our country!
