GAL PAL GETAWAYS!

What does a "Gal Pal Getaway" look like......
I already know that a sweet friendship refreshes the soul. (Proverbs 27:9)
For T-cups--it's a mystery trip known only to one who plans the trip. Destination usually revealed at start of trip but not this time. New jaunts were explained upon arrival. Those in back seat felt as if we were somewhere beyond our state---California, maybe.
A Full Circle of "Tennessee Treks, Trail and Back Roads"included.............Walking Tall Trail, Civil War Trail, w/ catfish at Hagy's, Amish wagon rides,
RR crossings,
Hoopee Rides....
and lots of cuisine from old timey boardinghouse to mealhouse....
.....dips from Capt'n Rodneys (REAL Capt'n Rodney joined our Pic.)
not to mention fried pie sundies at Soda Pop Junction
and hominy casserole & collards-- plus baked apples with a little of the Lynchburg"product" stirred in and a touch of the "product was tasted in the REAL whipped cream on the buttermilk pie at Miss Mary BoBo's......
to RH Cafe with lobster  rolls. Champagne was also available.
.....Even met Bubba at 9 Back St. (backroad address) Mulberry, TN lavender farm.
Banana pudding for the Banana Pudding festival.
BREAKFAST! BREAKFAST! BREAKFAST!
1 Banana w/ 1 Egg--Delish! we had to try it to believe it.
Feasting and feeding on God's Word after breakfast!

So grateful we ended each day for Triple R---Rest & Relaxation at the Ranch--filled with cows, horses, chickens + 1 rooster, a baby doll sheep, a mini horse, a mule named Duke, bee hives,
an amazing "she shed" 
& LOTS OF PORCHES.

"Full Circle" Ranch, no less.......
...a place to refresh one's soul! **

**Trip Addendum---A few hours after we returned Saturday one of the gals had a stroke. Tuesday another gal had gallbladder surgery. Life Lesson learned----enjoy  the  moments God gives---because our days are gifts from the hand of God. (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)
We could be of good cheer knowing that God was in the plan (Mattie Dear) Even in those scares & struggles, there was fullness of joy in His presence as we prayed together for each other! (Psalm 16:11)
