I used the anniversary party as an excuse to visit my daughter in Tennessee. Not that one really needs an excuse – but I just get so caught up in life – working and whatever. I’m determined to change that!!!
I took advantage of the “excuse” and went up a day early so we got to spend some time together. She was a very gracious hostess and we did a bit of shopping and lunch out at the Readyville Mill. You need to go and look at the website – it was such a delightful place – and the food was delicious and plentiful. I’ve gotta tell you though – you’ve got to be looking for this place to find it. It was off the road down a little dirt driveway. But once you’re down the drive – you know you want to see the rest of it.



We were there on a cold, rainy & dreary day and the inside was inviting and rustic.

Dixie waiting for the hostess while I’m taking pictures. I loved the unusual desk where the essential cash register, etc sat.


Hate having my picture taken but a nice lady took this as we were getting ready to leave.

Then while Dixie was going to get the car, I made friends with one of the resident cats. Well, sort of friends. She let me pet her – then swatted me 🙂

Several beautiful and very well fed cats. I’m guessing they get lots of yummy food.
We left without going into the mill – so will definitely have to make another trip. Hopefully on a nicer day, but this one was for sure a treat!
