Franklin, TN!!!--5/7/14

We got on the road at 9:15 AM EDT enroute to Franklin, TN, after enjoying a magnificent sunrise over Lake Allatoona outside our campsite.

We were heading to where Ashlie's former colleague with Hologic lives.  She has mossssst generously offered for us to leave our camper on the street and house us in their home--three bedrooms!!   Fortunately the Neighborhood Assn Pres is right next door and has given permission for us to park on the street outside their house.  We have promised not to put our awning out  and string our Christmas lights!

We got here about 3 PM and immediately were immensely grateful for the generous offer of our hosts, Jacque and Marv.  We hooked up to their power and powered our refrig and carbon monoxide monitor, the most important aspects of our traveltrailer.

We sat out on their deck overlooking the lake and two families of Canada Geese with a total of 7 goslings, sipped wine and ate fresh-made guacamole  with whole-grain (gluten-free) chips and fresh-made  (by Jacque) hummus dip with naaanan bread and tabboulie.  David took a nap until we watched Jacque and Ashlie prepare the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, made with a dijon, maple-glazed with fresh rosemary marinade, and jabanero-infused olive oil , cilantro-lime  butter fresh vegetables.   Needless to say we are not suffering.

Ashlie and Jacque prepare the veggies. Ashlie has an "aura" reminiscent of our ghost tours!

 

 

  We will tour a bit around Franklin tomorrow and see Jacque's daughter, Courtney and her husband's farm where a recent video by country artist Jon Pardi, was filmed.  You can download his video, "Up All Night" on iTunes to see some of their gorgeous farm which we will see tomorrow!
