I took Friday off as a Mental Health Day. I'm a firm believer that sometimes, you just have to know your limits. I had reached mine. Time to take a break.
So I packed up the Mazda and got on I-24 East. I made a few stops - the first was at the Lodge Skillet Store in South Pittsburg, TN. I got two small, and I mean tiny, little cast iron skillets for Matt to cook eggs in.
Then I stopped for lunch in Ringgold, GA. I decided to regress a little and go to Guthrie's.
So, Guthrie's is a chicken finger restaurant. They used to have one in Athens, and I ate there at least once a quarter. It's terrible for you, as evidenced by this very beige picture:
After a nutritious lunch, I finished the drive and ended up at my parents' house. I started setting up a wifi connection for Mom's new tablet, then Mom and I went out for dinner. I didn't take a picture, but it was chicken and pasta in a lemon sauce with capers. It has a name, but I can't remember it.
It was also a fairly beige meal. And beige = delicious.
Saturday morning, I headed to the mountains for Work Day. It was a good time. I got to see friends, chat with them, and spend a day out in the gorgeous weather. My job was to tend a burn pile.
At lunch, I went to take a picture of our new water system for Dad. I also took a picture of where the wild hogs dug up our yard:
After quitting time, I cleaned up a little and went to the Board Meeting. From there, it was back to Atlanta for some quality time with the Tribal Elders.
But first, another nutritional meal:
The Varsity. I needed it. I needed it badly. I ate it all, with pleasure. I also got fried Peach Pies for the elders and myself to enjoy at the house.
I got home and spent the evening catching up with the 'rents. Sunday, I cleaned the koi pond and fed the little scaly beasts for the first time all season. They were ecstatic.
I showed Mom how to use her tablet. Then I headed home.
It was a great weekend.
There's only one picture left to share.
The only downside to spending a day next to a towering inferno of burning hardwood? Feeling the burn. I'm a redneck!
