Friday, May 26,  we rode Lawrenceburg to Goodwill, where bought 2 pair of Niki Shorts.

We rode to the Amish in Etheridge where we bought a carton of fresh eggs, homemade butter, Homemade chocolate candy with peanuts, and a bag of peanuts. We bought a head of cabbage, some green onions, and two gallons of strawberries.

We stopped at Krogers, for 8 cases of diet Mountain Dews and 4 cases of Sprite Zeroes, and a couple frozen pizzas.

We stopped at Long John Silvers for fish and shrimp which we took home. 

Ate our dinner and put all the veggies in the refrigerator.

Then I made 17 jars of strawberry Jam.

Saturday, May 27, we rode to Point Mallard to the Hot Air Balloon Festival didn't see any balloons but saw lots of tractors, food vendors, and vendors. Was cool this morning and rained a little but it sure warmed up fast. We talked to a man from Cullman there enjoying the festival. The festival sure was spread out so lots of walking. We missed the car show.

Tractors 

We rode to Hartselle for lunch at O'Bryan's.

Where I ordered grilled black chicken with a baked sweet potato.

After lunch, we rode back to Decatur where they were having a scavenger hunt for 10 very small turtles located along Second Avenue.

Hubby parked the car but stayed inside while I searched for the turtles.

I Met a group of six also doing the scavenger hunt and asked if I could join them.

Our Group 

Our group had so much fun, searching for the turtles and then taking turns getting our picture taken with the tiny turtles. 

We need a few items from Rural King in Muscle Shoals so we took Highway 20 to hwy 72 into Muscle Shoals.
Our first stop was to get a vanilla Ice cream in a cone at Jack's.
At Rural King we bought cat food, bird seeds, Sure-Jell, a Top, and a hose nozzle.
We rode to the Rock Pile with lots of people there so no birds.

We stopped at River Heritage Park and the splash pad was running full blast.

2017 May 6, Strawberry Festival Moulton, Alabama 🍓🍓🍓🍓

I took highway 101 crossing Wheeler Dam over into Lawrence County and traveling through Town Creek. At the red light, I crossed Highway 20 traveling staying on 101 until I reached Hwy 157 turning left, and traveling east until I reached hwy 33 which took me to Courthouse Square.
I parked on Big Nance Street and walked a block crossing highway 33 onto Courthouse Square.
The Courthouse sits on a hill so all my walking was up and down the hill which is very hard on the knees.
People filled the streets looking for gifts for mother's day
I saw a yellow and green board called Plinko but never played the game.
It was sponsored by the Moulton Middle School PTO.
The sign read:
Fidget Spinners $7.00 
Score 6 candy 
Score 4 Stuffed Toy
Score 3
Fidget Spinner   

Step up to the board, once you have all of your chips.
Lay a Plinko chip flat against the top of the Plinko board.
Take aim at the prize you want to win by lining up the chip within an area where it can bounce around the board until it lands in the slot.
Release the clip and watch it bounce and travel through the maze until it reaches one of the bottom slots.
If you win a prize and the chip doesn't land on zero, then you can add the amount of the prize to the grand total of winnings.
Repeat Steps 3 through 6 until you've played all of your Plinko chips.
The smell of food filled the air, Little Jimmy's was selling  Italian Ice, Cheese Chaos, Deep Fried Oreos, soft pretzels, Ice tea, Lemonade, & Cheese Nachos
Loud music filled the air with the band that was playing near the courthouse. 
Mosquito Control!
The Neon color should attract the Mosquitos if it doesn't blind them first.
 LOL
I love this neon Green & Yellow color. I
wear this color often
Guess I want to attract mosquitos.  
"Coke Cola Mural" There is nothing more refreshing than a cold Coke Cola in a bottle.
I guess the Hillsboro Fire Fighters were here to help keep the peace, Just in case the crowd got rowdy

A Johnnie Cash and Elvis Presley Fan was walking near the Fairlane's
This Chevrolet had a sign in the window.
 Look but Please don't Touch it!!

This bright orange-trimmed black car had wings. I bet it can fly!!
Nice ride!! SS 350
I stopped to talk to this young man. I said you have some beautiful flowers.
I said that I did not need any more right now, I had just bought several.
He was selling them for The FFA Agricultural Education
Learning to Do, Doing to Learn,
Serving to Live, Living to Serve. 
I had a great time walking around talking to people, smelling the food, and listen to music, and watching the line dancer and tap dancers. 
The Hillbilly's Helping Children Shriners Hospital
RC, Moon Pie, Mountain Dew, and See Rock City were just a few of the signs attached to the Shriner's outhouse. I stopped to talk and donate. I loved their display and told them they should be upfront and not the end of the line.
