2023 Oct 21, Open House at Lawrence County/Lawrenceburg, TN Regional Airport

Today, we rode to the Lawrence County/Lawrenceburg Airport Open House to see Aircraft from the region.

Planes were flying in and out the whole time we were there. 

There were a variety of airplanes one could ride for a price. (Go Vertical Aviation)

They also had the Flagship Detroit Douglas DC-3 (riding this one cost $100 per person), and it was impressive inside.

We also walked among the Classic and Custom Cars.

We left the Airport around 10:30.

We ate lunch at the Brass Lantern. Hubby had a salad, and I had half a hamburger and some fries. 

We rode to Walmart to get our tires rotated. They were busy and said there would be a 3-hour wait. 

We stopped at Kroger's for Soda, which was on sale, and Goodwill, where I bought a couple of wicker baskets.

Next, we stopped at the Dollar Tree for miscellaneous items. (Turkey bags and pans).

Our last stop was a Fall into Christmas event. 

It was at the Woodman of the World building, located at 200 Glenn Springs Rd, Lawrenceburg. 

Here, we bought freezer-dried candy sold by Jabba Designs in Lawrenceburg, as well as peach-fried pie.

2017 Sept 4, Labor Day at Sweet Tater Festival Smith Lake Park Cullman, Alabama

After dropping our van off at Champion Chrysler Dodge in Athens (the air-conditioner not working) @ 7:30 A.M., we stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I ordered two pieces of bacon, one scrambled egg, two pieces of whole-wheat toast, and a bowl of fried apples. Hubby ordered the big breakfast meal.

At the Petting Zoo, we saw a camel, some sheep, a couple of pigs, a rabbit, a couple of llamas & some goats.

We attended the Sweet Tater Festival in Cullman. 
They are famous for their Fried Sweet Tater Pies, so we bought one.
It was awful (somebody cannot cook tater pies). 
We walked through all the vendor booths, stopping to buy a leather key chain.
Many of the people at the park were riding in Golf Carts, and babies and small children were in strollers or wagons.

The Classic Cars were located in the shaded area of the park. This is always my favorite part of the festival. 
We left after walking around the park for a couple of hours.

In Athens, we stopped at Aldies for a few groceries.
At home, I cooked hamburgers with onions and added taco sauce to make tacos.
Hubby tackled the grass after dinner.
