Dec 3rd - In Tennessee

We had a long, but good trip to Tennessee today. We left Centertown a little after 8 AM and didn't get to our place in Crossville until about 8:30 PM. We did some sightseeing along the way.
We drove across 50 from Jefferson City to the St. Louis suburbs, which is the way we normally go to Tennessee. Instead of crossing the Mississippi into Illinois we headed south down I55, on the Missouri side of the river. We wandered off I55 and over to Ste. Genevieve, near the river but not on it. It is a small town with a French heritage. Lots of building were dated before 1800. It would be a place to go back to and look around more.

We had lunch at Stella and Me's diner, in Ste. Genevieve.

This was my lunch, the Portabella soup was excellent, as was the sandwich. The salad dressing was good but the lettuce was some fancy lettuce, which was okay but I'm a fan of plain old lettuce. Its kind of a standing family joke.

We managed to time the rest of our trip so that we hit Lebanon, TN at supper time. We stopped at Demo's, one of our favorite restaurants and had a good meal before heading on to Crossville.

We plan on taking the motor home to Crossville in the morning, for a "shakedown" cruise, and to fill the propane tank. Rather than put out the slides and then storing them we decided to just spend the night in the "cabinet", as Lydia calls it.

So far all seems well here. My great brother-in-law stopped numerous times to take care of things while we were gone. I'm so thankful for him. THANKS TOM!

May God bless you and yours.
