Florida trip part 2...I think

Well, I am way behind on my Florida Trip narrative.  To day is Thursday I believe, and my last epistle was about last Friday!  To say the least, things have happened since then! Saturday morning Lori and I were on our own, still in College Grove/Arrington TN.  Don had to work and Diane needed to pick her car up from the shop.  We had heard of a Guitar Show (4 Amigo's) in Franklin at the Old Gas Stove Factory.  I thought that might be fun, so we went. Oh my, the place was packed!  We had to park at the Farmer's Market, several blocks away.  Then, it had a $15 admission fee!  Did I think that I needed to look at guitars that much!?  We went up a flight of stairs overlooking the show.  There were several thousand guitars...yes,I guess we can stand the tariff.  We browsed the two rooms for a couple of hours.  I saw several guitars needing to go home with me! Among them a 1950something Martin 35 HD.  Lori did not see anything at all that needed a new home.  We came away with money in our  Pockets. The weather was cloudy and cool, with a misty foggy moist sky.  We decided to checkout the Farmer' Market.  It was a happening place!  All kinds of stuff for sale.  Milk was $10 Gallon, steaks were awfully high priced...coffee and a donut were $3.00!  That was all we bought...both the donut and the coffee were delicious but small. We had left our drink cooler in the back of Blue Babe...evidently people who can afford $10/gallon milk are not adverse to helping themselves to someone else's stuff.  The cooler was gone...hopefully the really needed it to keep that milk cold til they got it home! Don and Diane had heard of music happening at Leiper's Fork, about 30 miles away.  Puckett Bros Grocery was the venue.  It is indeed a grocery store!  There were two acts, the musicians in both acts seemed to be related.  The headliner was Janna Hattabaugh.  She is a pretty young thing with bushels of talent...but probably will never be Famous.  Don treated us to dinner at Jason's Deli, very good, Thank you Don!  Also at Puckett's Grocery was the Dukes of Hazzard Car and Jed Clampetts Model A.  Maybe those were actually replicas, but they were the actual models of automobiles.  We wouldw like to go back there again for Open Mike night.  We returnedto the Woerner's and visited until bedtime.
