Sharp's Travels
We hustled around this morning to make it to the theater by 9am. We were going to see the Blackwood’s morning breakfast show.
We were seated down front at a table with a couple from Mississippi. We enjoyed visiting and having breakfast with them.
Promptly at 10am, the show started.
The original Blackwood group began in 1899, when 12 brothers and sisters joined their musical talents of banjos, mandolins, guitars and fiddles and began entertaining friends and neighbors around Mississippi. That was 110 years ago. RW Blackwood Jr and his wife Donna continued that family tradition.
RW & Donna have been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and RW was presented the Living Legend Award. They sing country and Gospel music and have a wonderful group of singers that perform with them.
The show also had a comedy skit and a puppet master. The music and entertainment was great. What a nice way to spend a Saturday morning.
We were supposed to be riding the bike today, but with last night’s temperature down to 45 degrees and today’s high only 54 degrees, it was a truck day!
Gay had printed off directions to 2 quilt shops—so off we went.
The first one was called The Cherry Pot in Sevierville. It was a nice little shop. I picked up most of the material I needed for the American Flay pattern I want to do.
The next shop, Holloway’s Country Home Quilts, was a log cabin filled to the brim with material. We’ve been here before and yes I did pick up a few more projects there. I’m trying to keep all these projects separated so I know what material goes to what project. Hopefully I will get it right.
We left there and went to an apple orchard about 2 miles away. We picked up some mackintosh apples and some apple/cherry cider. We also got a hot little apple pie. It was good.
The trip out through the country roads to Holloway’s quilt shop was neat. There were lots of old barns. We’ll definitely be going back over these roads with the bike so we can get some pictures.
We made a full day of it again. We didn’t get back until 5pm. Gay put steaks on the grill and we turned the fireplace on to snuggle in and warm up a bit.
