Day 17 – Soddy-Daisy, Here We Come!

We were careful where we parked!!


Estimated reading time: 2 minutes


Today we head north-west for five and a half hours, 378 miles!  The weather is forecasted to be nice with perhaps a few tornados, three tycoons, and some blizzards!

The roads in the south are in better shape than in California.  They are wide and clean!

The roads were in great shape!!

After three hours, we searched for a fine dining experience.  Subway was at the filling station, where we got gas for $3.20 a gallon!  Hear that California, $3 per gallon!  On my!

We had a gourmet lunch.

Like always in the South, the clouds rolled in and we got rain for about two hours.  It was light and then heavy and then light again.

What did one raindrop say to the other?  “Two’s company; three’s a cloud.”

An hour later, the rain came down in buckets.

We got into Soddy Daisy at 4:30 pm and visited until late into the evening.  We killed off a bottle of vino and talked for several hours.

MAry got a friend. Cheyenne is very friendly and loves visitors, just like Scout.

Mary has a friend!

The dessert was outstanding.  It disappeared a matter of seconds.

We were busy talking and I missed the beautiful lasagna! I did get the dessert!

We discussed everything well into the evening.

Great fun!

Cheyenne was enjoying the visit.

Cheyenne is about 85 pounds.

Tomorrow late morning we will drive to Tracy Tennessee to visit Becky.
