2016 January 1 Friday, "New Years Day" Star wars The Force Awakes

Had a great New Years Day
We rode to the Carmike Thoroughbred 20 Theater in Franklin Tennessee 
to watch the action, adventure, Sci-Fi, fantasy movie Star Wars Force Awakens.

The Force Awakens
Carmike Thoroughbred 20 Theater in Franklin Tennessee
This theater has seats that rock and everywhere you set you can see the movie without breaking your neck to watch it. 
I was surprised to the see new droid addition the BB-8 companion, I guess it replaced the archaic C3P0 and R2D2 droids. 
Apple sales the BB-8 App-Enabled Droid by Sphero for $149.00, which is controlled by your ipad or Iphone.
This BB-8 droid is on display at Target
BB-8 relates to your interactions, showing a range of expressions and actually perks up at the sound of your voice commands. 
I had seen one of the droids for sale at the Apple Store and wonder where they had came up with the Idea. 
The movie was action packed and it kept my interest for the duration of the movie.
The movie brought back a couple of the original characters Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and C-3PO.
I had cooked waffles, bacon and eggs for breakfast earlier that morning and it was after 2PM and we were both getting hungry, so we road to Restaurant alley at Cool Spring.
We decided on Famous Dave's one of my favorite places to eat.
I ordered  1/3 St Louis Style SpareRibs, collard greens,sweet corn on the cob, & sweet cornbread.
There ice tea is to die for and I got a cup to go. 
My  husband ordered there special 8 oz rib eye steak with caesar salad, baked potato and toast. 
We had food enough for three so we brought a box full home for later. 

Cornbread, corn on the cob, collard greens, ribs
The mall parking lot was full of cars so we decided to ride home.
We rode south on I-65 to the Spring Hill Exit.
My husband ask if I had ever been through the historic town of Mount Pleasant and I said no. 
He said before the four lane was built that you had to go through several small towns to travel to Nashville. 
We stopped at Rite-Aid which was built right next to an very old cemetery. It was so old that the brick wall was falling down on the back side and that is where I walked through to take a few pictures.

We stopped right in the middle of town where we saw the Civil War monument and several Indian markers.

It was getting dark by this time and it is hard to get good pictures while riding in the car.
I took a few pictures of the setting sun as we rode home.

We had a good day, we watched a good movie, filled our bellies with good food, rode through an historic town (that I had never seen), and watched the sun go down on our journey home.
