Weather: low 43 degrees, high 65 degrees, mostly clear skies
The past week and our busy days took it's toll on Carolyn. She had a bad vertigo day, so she stayed at home resting in preparation for another busy week. However, I had some things to do, including going back to Decatur to verify that a piece of furniture we bought this week was the color and style that we remembered. Well, guess what? Our memory was good, and we didn't have to make any changes of the furniture. Whew!
On my way home, I stopped at the WalMart Mall to pick up a few groceries. Then, I drove to the courthouse square to take some pictures of the courthouse and surrounding square. Here's what the courthouse looks like.
Just about every courthouse square in the south has a statue dedicated to the Confederate soldiers that fought in the War of Northern Aggression. Here's the one in Athens.
The square around the courthouse is vital and alive, with all the stores open and busy. Here's a typical picture of the square.
On the opposite side of the square is the Presbyterian Church, built over 100 years ago.
Yesterday, I took a picture of a restaurant located next to U G White's hardware store. In fact, it is part of the same building and can be entered from the hardware store. The restaurant specializes in southern dishes, but get this: the name of the restaurant is Lu Vici's. That sounds like an Italian name to me. We were told that the food is very good, so we'll let you know. Here's what the inside of the restaurant looks like.
College football was stating by the time I arrived back at home, so I watched Florida win a fairly easy game against Appalachian State, 48 to 10. It's too bad the Gators didn't play that well in four losses this season. Oh, well. There's always next year.
More later, be safe.

The trees around the square have really grown. Oh, I once ran a red light in front of that Presbyterian church.
The trees are beautiful this time of the year. They're probably something to see in the spring.
