Weather: low 35 degrees, high 52 degrees, clear skies
We didn't leave the house today, choosing to do some housework that we had been delaying. Several window coverings were redone, and a general house cleaning was started and finished.
As we were discussing what to have for supper, I had a brainstorm that we could have some smoked turkey left from the holidays. Add a can of Lesueur peas, Stove Top dressing, gravy, and cranberry sauce, and we had a good supper. The best part was it only took about 20 minutes to prepare.
I meant to write yesterday about our trip to Lynchburg, Tennessee, when we were up that way this past Wednesday. For some reason, I forgot all about it. So, here's what we saw and experienced.
Now, you need to be aware that the temperature was only 32 degrees, which was plenty cold. That meant it was too cold for us to take the tour through the Jack Daniels Distillery, located just outside Lynchburg. There were only about three cars in the visitors parking lot, and I can't imagine those folks did much, other than stay where there was heat.
It snowed in the area just before we got there, and it stuck to the bushes and trees. In this picture, the snow looks like spring blossoms.
Since we didn't have what it took to brave the cold, we stopped in Lynchburg to get some pictures of the courthouse and town square. Lynchburg is the county seat of Moore County, and the population of the entire county is only about 5,700 people.
The courthouse is quite old, as can be seen in the picture, and is still being used.
The little town of Lynchburg reminded us of little towns we have seen in Texas. Not much to them, but hanging on to the past as much as possible. Here's some pictures of the business area around the courthouse.
Even though there is a distillery in Lynchburg, the county and town are dry, and alcohol can't be sold there.
Our impression of Lynchburg is that it's a nice little town, but if it wasn't for Jack Daniels, the town would have probably died off long ago.
More later, be safe.
