We started out our Thursday morning with a delicious breakfast (turkey scramble and homemade bread and of course French press coffee!!). After a little relaxation and cleaning Steve and I went to check out the west Tennessee Farmers Market in downtown Jackson. It was fantastic!!! I looooove farmers markets!! One woman even gave us a zucchinni and 3 yellow squash for $1!!! And so far the produce we've had from there has been outstanding!!!!!!!!
On our way home we spotted a little coffee shop downtown called the Green Frog Coffee Company. I got an ice coffee that was sooo delicious and a large is only $1.90!!!!
Yummmm! Steve said his hot coffee was great too! They roast their own beans and have some yummy looking sandwiches too!
Today, we got a special delivery from Ft. Lauderdale so we must report that now. My little sis Samantha arrived in Nashville this morning. The 2 hour drive( and the running out of gas in the middle of a Kroger's parking lot!!) was well worth it when I saw her beautiful face. Side note: I had an angel watching over me that I ran out of gas 20 ft. from a gas station. Not only that but as I was waiting in line with my newly purchased red gas carrying thingy the nicest stranger called me over and filled up my red gas container for free!!! And he also made me feel like less of a loser because he had run out of gas last week!! Loving God's country. Before driving home we explored Brentwood a little. The houses we saw were like mini palaces. We also found a lost family business:
We then trecked back to Jackson (2 more hours) to our palace. . . Sam and I drove Steve to "work" then I went to the gym and Samantha did a little of this:
Then I woke her up and took her to Wally World!!!!!(walmart for those not in the know) I am the coolest sister evah!!!!! After losing my keys in the camping section, yes it's a winner kind of day for me... We bought stuff to cook this(it's Erica's turkey, beans, rice and spinach recipe from itzy's kitchen:
Samantha was such a huge help, I think I'll keep her! After we scarfed down our dinner, we headed here:
Upon finding our seats, Samantha caught a foul ball!!!! It was ridiculous. And, the sweetheart that she is, she gave it to the 11 year old boy who was pouting in the background...he was mad that a girl could catch better than him!! We had a great time at the game, and I am very happy to have some company.
Now the 3 of us are all in 1 bedroom. Steve and I are marveling at the way teenagers interact, we actually said, "when I was a kid...." Mainly I do believe that watching Samantha my 4th grade dreams of "video-phoning" in the future have become a reality.

I realize after posting this that I feel like I'm turning into my father (yes scary i am female still). I just cracked myself up for 15 minutes reading my own blog, espescially that I took my sister to Walmart for our big outing today...i'm taken back to our big days visiting dad, walking to the Burger King...good times
ReplyDeleteOhhh yeahh. An entire bolg about moi. Hahaha but all of these things are true. But one thing my big sis decided to leave out of her blog, was the fact that on her way to pick me up at the airport, she ran OUT OF GAS !! But she picked me up on time. And today she also lost and then later found her keys in Wally World (Walmart).
ReplyDeletecouldn't make this up if i wanted to, samantha, your accurate accounts of today have been duly noted and added so that the public may join in on the ridicule.
ReplyDeleteHey! I cannot believe how grown up Sam is (now how old do I sound??). Looks like such a fun day. You know I am obsessed with farmers markets too. And a large iced coffee for $1.90? That is a fabulous deal. So glad you made one of my recipes <3. Hope you got my text last night!!
ReplyDeleteYes, you do sound a bit like your dad (Charles Kerault (sp). Do you and your sisters laugh hysterically at merely nothing? And for Steve, yes, when we were kids we actually walked to school barefoot, uphill both ways. No glass though. Just snow and ice. Let's see, Kelley needs a retractable key chain and a spare gallon of gas. Very very entertaining. I will have to go see dad and we will pee our pants laughing over nothing!
ReplyDeleteWell done, grasshopper. You know what I say ... "If you can't laugh at your own material, then no one else will." Now of course, you're also likely familiar with laughing at you're own material, while everyone else has this bewildered look on their face ... which of course makes you laugh even more (not at them, but just the circumstances). You do remember, "Do dah. Do da." Right?
ReplyDeleteSounds like y'all having a great time. Be nice to Steve. Looking forward to hearing more ... Oh, by the way ...up hill both ways, snow and ice, and I was carrying Uncle Leo!
