It’s the last leg of our 2018 Summer Ramble phase two. We started the day at Buffalo KOA near Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, Site #37 where we drained all our water tanks last night and enjoyed a nice visit with Sharon and Mike. They will continue their journey north to Wisconsin as we head to Tween Creeks. We were on the road this morning by 7AM. When we made our first stop for Coffee and Sausage Grits Bowls we were greeted with a hearty “Good Morning!” when we walked into Waffle House at 9AM. From there we continued east on I-40 through a lot of misty rainy weather and gorgeous autumn foliage. East of Knoxville, Tennessee we were ready for another break so we stopped for lunch at Aubrey’s just off of I-40. We had stopped here in late July at the end of Summer Ramble phase one and had fallen in love with the Praline Cheesecake! So of course we finished off our meal with the same delicious dessert. This could mean we’re established a new tradition! Now to check the TN and NC DOT websites to check the status of that nasty traffic jam we see on our Apple Maps app.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
