Our week definitely ended up much better than it started! Last Sunday night Lindall and I spent the WHOLE night throwing up....evidently we ate something bad! We narrowed it down to some pork sausage but we are the only one's that got sick, so who knows. All I know is that I've have never been so sick in my life! After 8 hours of non-stop vomiting...we headed to the ER to get some relief. They prescribed some meds to stop the vomiting and told me to share it with my husband when I got home....and it worked! Although we were completely worn-out it was much better than the alternative. Definitely a night we will remember!
Thursday, Dalton had his first airplane experience! We flew to Nashville, TN to visit Grandma D. He did really well on the plane. Even though he didn't sleep during the flights, he was really content...and entertaining to the row behind us:) He did manage to work up a poopy diaper on the 2-hour plane stretch...which meant we had to use the plane lavatory changing table. It wasn't that bad actually. After we landed, Grandma D picked us up at the airport and we headed home for the evening. So the experience of the airport and baby went really well, thank goodness!
Saturday we had an exciting day! We started the morning at the Nashville Farmers Market. Their farmers market is the real deal. All home grown veggies, fruits, flowers, organic meat, eggs, cheese, and milk (in the neat glass containers). They also have a flea market section with dry goods (clothes, jewelry, pottery, etc). We ended up leaving with a variety of tomatoes, bell peppers, bread, a variety of squash, and flowers. So we'll cook those up this week.
After the market we went over to a quilting shop that DeLone had found in Lebanon. I've been wanting to make a quilt (even though my sewing portfolio consists of burp cloths with fabric sewn in the center part). So I looked at fabrics forever trying to figure out what I would like to use on my quilt. It was a really neat shop with TONS of quilting fabric. Then my little man was ready for a nice long nap so we went home to recoop.
That evening we went to Leipers Fork to Puckett's Grocery for dinner. Puckett's is a whole-in-the-wall old grocery store that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wednesday through Saturday they have live entertainment at night. Its all acoustic and they usually have some locally known singers/songwriters...even some famous locals drop in from time to time. Loretta Lynn's daughter, Peggy, was one of the entertainers this Saturday. She also brought her daughter and her niece. There were a couple of other guys that sang too. It was really good! The people here in TN are so down home and just so nice...I could live here for sure!
