Thursday, July 24, 2014 – Travel Day to Texas T CG, Cornersville, TN
We left Canal Campground in Grand Rivers, KY and headed toward Nashville, TN on I-24.
Originally, we were supposed to stay at Henry Horton State Park just south of Nashville. However, a couple weeks ago, Henry Horton SP called to say they were closing the campground for renovations and could not honor our reservation;o((
We are in this area to visit some former neighbors/friends who now live in Franklin, TN. There really are not many good campgrounds to choose from. But I remembered that Gail and Rick had a daughter who lived in Franklin. I gave her a call and she recommended Texas-T in Cornersville, exit 27 on I-65.
Well, it is perfect!! Nothing fancy, but easy FHU pull-through sites:o)
We have to drive a little further to get to our friends home, but time wise it is quicker.
Fri & Sat, July 25-26, 2014 – Fun Time With SPECIAL Friends!!!
From 1995 to 1998, we lived in Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms, just north of Charleston, SC. During that time, we met Bill and Shelley. They became good friends and we have seen them at different times and in different places during the last 15 years. Two years ago, they moved from Massachusetts to Franklin, Tennessee. It has actually been 7 years since we have seen them…so it was time;o))
We arrived at their home about 3pm and it was like 7 days, not 7 years, had passed since we last saw them. They had invited us to stay overnight so we could attend a concert-picnic at one of their community's parks. Then on Saturday , the two Bills will be hitting the golf course and the girls will be hitting the farmers market and few other fun places!!
Heading to the concert and picnic.
She sings the old classics with a jazz flair… it was amazing!!!
Not only did we get to hear some fabulous music,
but we got to meet many of Bill and Shelley’s friends and neighbors.
One was celebrating her birthday!!!
It was a beautiful evening, with perfect weather, food, music and friends!!
We all were up before 6am on Saturday!!!
We just didn’t want to waste a minute of the time we had to spend together;o))
By 8am, Shelley and I were headed out to begin our treasure hunt.
Bill and Bill were getting ready to hit the links!!
We all had a wonderful day and our visit ended at a nice restaurant called Bricks Cafe.
After hugs and promises to see them again before 7 years passes,
we headed home but not without some very special memories.
One of those is an original “W. Brown” painting
which looks perfect in our Gallery!!
Good Friends Are Life’s Treasures!!
We visited Franklin, TN several years ago on the 4th of July . . . I thought it was about the most perfect small town . . . just the kind of place I would want to settle down in (if we settle down someday!!). How nice that you were able to spend time with old friends!
ReplyDeleteYou're really getting close to us. I seem to remember we made a day trip there last fall. Nice that you got to see some old friends.
ReplyDeleteI am dumbfounded that a park would call you only a few weeks before your reservation at the height of the summer tourist season and say they were closing the campground. Must have been some serious major issue. Glad you had an inside connection to find something else. It's all about that charmed life you live. I just love those last two pictures of the 4 of you. Good friends are definitely among life's greatest treasures.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy Texas T worked out OK for you! Nothing special but the owners are wonderful and, timewise, our best choice...and we've tried most of the others :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to re-connect. It sure looked like you had a lot of fun and that's what it's all about!
Safe travels forward...We will see you at Buck Hall :)
How fun to catch up with good friends!
ReplyDeleteThat's terrific that you've kept up with "non-rving" friends. Looks like you enjoyed the time!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice visit with friends.
