A Sunday Drive

A Sunday Drive   video


Have you ever reacted impulsively to ,what some would classify as a foolish thing to do!'' 'guess I qualify. Last Sunday after being at the cemetery - which is out in the country in Lincoln County, Tn. only a few miles from home - I was reminded of the drive that Bob enjoyed taking when we would be coming down to visit Barb from Dallas..Near Memphis - hwy 64 across the south end of Tn... -little traffic but slow- scenic -  a peaceful drive if you're not in a hurry...passing through small towns - Somerville, Boliver, Selmer, Savannah, Waynesboro, Lawrenceburg, Pulaski, Fayetteville - then south on 231/431 down a few miles to Hazel Green...

It was a nice day, for a change, cold but sunny. I knew Barbara would not be home to check on me for several hours so I  did it!  In my 2004 Honda Civic with 140,000 miles on it and old tires...didn't even go back home to get anything....afraid I would reconsider.   I had a coat, my purse and phone -

I just really wanted to be in Covington - where Bob had grown up- where we met - where we got married- where we lived our first year together and our first child was born- where his parents and my mother are buried.

About 5 hours later I arrived, drove around town, took some pictures (with my phone as I did not have my camera with me) cried some and then headed the 35 miles into Memphis to spend the night with my (very surprised) sister!

The pictures in the video were taken with my phone from inside the car, while driving - so they are not the greatest...

Christmas in Dixie

Not Much Going On Outside

The leaves have all fallen, the annuals have all died...too cold and, or too wet to do anything in the yard...
staying inside decorating for the Christmas Season...

Countryside by Chris Row

Shafts of light
Through cathedral windows,
Dappled shade
Upon the leaves
Beneath my feet,

Bird song
In the branches above.
In the distance
Hind and fawn
Cross the forest track.


The sweet fragrance of autumn
Fills the misty air,
A gentle breeze
Moving colours
To forest floor.

So precious
Such beauty,
So hard to find
Such peaceful sanctuary.
