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

This theater has rocking seats, and wherever you sit, you can see the movie without breaking your neck.
I was surprised to see a new droid addition, BB-8, which replaced the archaic C-3PO and R2-D2 droids.
Apple sells the BB-8 App-Enabled Droid by Sphero for $149.00, which is controlled by your iPad or Iphone.

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 wondered where they had come up with the Idea.
The movie was action-packed and kept my interest throughout.
I had cooked waffles, bacon, and eggs for breakfast earlier that morning. It was after 2 P.M., and we were both getting hungry, so we rode to Restaurant Alley at Cool Spring.
We decided on Famous Dave's, one of my favorite places to eat.
Their iced tea is to die for, and I got a cup to go.
My husband ordered their special 8-oz rib-eye steak with Caesar salad, baked potato, and toast.
We had enough food for three, so we brought a box home for later.

The mall parking lot was full, so we decided to ride home.
We rode south on I-65 to the Spring Hill Exit.
My husband asked if I had ever been through the historic town of Mount Pleasant, and I said no.
He said that before the four-lane highway was built, you had to go through several small towns to reach Nashville.
We stopped at Rite-Aid, which was built right next to an ancient 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 a historic town (that I had never seen), and watched the sun go down on our journey home.
