Feels Like Texas In The Fall

Crossville, Tennessee

Weather: low 60 degrees, high 80 degrees, partly cloudy skies, breezy

I took this picture of the Cumberland County Courthouse in Crossville this morning. The courthouse was built in 1905, and has been in use since then.

Last night was the first night we haven't used the air conditioner in three months. We opened a couple windows and turned the Fantastic Fan on, and covered up with a light cover. Ahhhh! It was so nice! The forecast is for more of the same for the next week. For all I know, this may be normal for the summer for this area. It felt like fall in Texas this morning.

This picture is of the Civil War Memorial in Crossville. Note that it lists the people who fought for the South as well as the North. This is the first time I've seen a memorial like this. It appears about as many fought for the North as fought for the South.

We had some chores to do around the RV in the morning. In the afternoon, we looked around the immediate area a little. Carolyn was having a rare day where her vertigo didn't flare up, and we didn't want to tempt fate by trying to do too much.

After debating what to do for supper, we decided to try a bar-b-que restaurant just down the street from where we're parked. Bad move. We tried the pulled pork sandwich, and it tasted like boiled meat with all the taste cooked out of it. We can't wait to get some Texas bar-b-que when we get back out there.

We're planning to get out and explore more tomorrow, with an eye toward celebrating a special day in our lives on Thursday.

More later, be safe.
