The driveway doesn't look all that steep from down here, but it is.
So, off we went, we had breakfast and then we drove to Franklin where we spent some time at "Silver Threads and Golden Needles". Off course we bought some yarn there, 'cause neither Linda nor I have enough yarn. We bought handpainted sock yarn and because I wanted to start right away to see what the colors would look like, I also had to buy knitting needles. 'Cause I don't have enough knitting needles. We spent a lot of time at the knit shop, but that was to be expected. It was fun, we knew these are our people. We walked around Franklin and then drove to "A Stitch in Time", a quilt shop. We are not quilters so it didn't take us long to walk through the store.
The next stop for the day was Highlands. We went to the "Old Edwards Inn" for a late lunch. I had the trout wrap because I love trout! Afterwards we walked around town but most of the stores were closed because it is not Tourist Season yet.
The area we are in was expected to have some snow over night and we were not sure if we could get out the next morning, so we went grocery shopping and then went back to the house to rest and start knitting. Ziggy kept us company and we spent some time just relaxing.
Linda and I then went to dinner at "Mica's" where I had Trout Almandine. What can I say, I love trout. We spent the rest of the evening knitting and talking and drinking wine. So far, this has been a wonderful trip. It would be perfect if we really did get snow tonight! I probably won't be able to sleep tonight, wondering if it will snow.
