We had two boxes of takeaway.
We rode to Hundred Oaks to see the Bedford Falls Train display.
Hundred Oaks is now Vanderbilt Health Center.

A radio station was parked at Hundred Oaks. A man dressed as a Valentine was passing out free ROSES. I took one and thanked him.

The train display was inside a glass case at one of the doctor's offices.
You could see the display from the outside but to get a better view you needed to go into the waiting room.
I meet this little boy about 7 or 8 years old playing with the buttons.
So, together we would go from one to the other buttons to see what each one would do.
One moved the train, one the trolley, one the sky lift, one the ladder truck, one the fire truck, and one the ambulance. I took several pictures of the display.
The little boy wanted to look at the pictures each picture I took so, I would show them to him.
When I got ready to leave the little boy's father said, thank the nice lady for sharing the pictures with you. I told the little boy and I never thought to ask why he was at the doctor's office. He looked healthy so maybe everything was okay with him.
You are now in Bedford Falls.
Bedford Falls (or Pottersville) is the fictional town in which the American Christmas drama It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and Philip Van Doren Stern's 1943 short story "The Greatest Gift" (on which the film is based) is set. The Bedford Falls railway station is the main form of transport to get in or out of the town. The location is used only once in the film when Harry (Todd Karns) comes back from university with his wife Ruth Dakin (Virginia Patton) as George and Uncle Billy are waiting there. While waiting there George says to Uncle Billy that a train whistle is one of the three most exciting sounds in the world. The other two were anchor chains and plane motors.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet

We walked to the electronics store but they did not have what we wanted. We stopped at the Walmart a few streets down and purchased a few items.
We took the highway US 31 there was a lot of road construction in Thompson Station and we rode by Clarks Distillery but was closed.
In Spring Hill we stopped at Murphy for gas and Walmart. We also stopped at Dairy Queen for an Ice Cream (they have the best ice cream).


On our way to Nashville, we stopped at the newly rebuilt I-65 Welcome Center at Ardmore Giles County which features eco-friendly solar panels, recycling, and a Geo-Thermal Operating System.
Inside they have five rocking chairs, a fireplace, and a display about the Civil War.

It was overcast and rained a little, not much of a day for being outside.
We were home by 6:30PM.
