Adventures after Retirement

2/24/18 We started out a little late after sleeping in a bit and headed out for the back roads to Lynchburg to see the Jack Daniels distillery.  Lynchburg is a tiny town in far southern Tennessee and Jack Daniels is the likely the only reason most folks go down there. On the way we stopped… Continue reading Tennessee to Georgia

1/23/18 Started out today in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.  It was absolutely pouring when we left the motel and of course we had not packed an umbrella.  We stopped in a little coffee shop in town and ordered two Americanos.  The friendly middle-aged server looked past us to the menu on the wall and read out “Oh,… Continue reading Bourbon, Blackout and the Blues
