I am Christian and so I didn’t really understand the Buddhist “shrine”. Eating is becoming a very long and communal experience, lol. It’s all becoming very European it sounds. With rent paid for and forgiven and extra incoming coming in due to Covid, I guess they don’t bother. These signs are popping up everywhere since people are choosing to sit at home instead of work. The wait was very long and there was a sign that asked that we please understand. The menu displayed asterisks of all the dishes they were not serving or out of. We went to a new restaurant, Blossom Thai. We also went out to eat and to Sam’s and to PopShelf. We are happy to have them closer to us for when they are here.

In the Lebanon area, apartment prices (right now) a little more reasonable and they were ready for a change of area, and it’s not too bad of a drive – maybe 40 minutes for the few days he has to drive in to work. Now they need them in the office some in Hendersonville – but the house market booming and retirement days not far away, they decided to sell their house.

And during Covid days BIL could work from the condo. My SIL and BIL have a condo in the mountains of East TN near their 1 year old granddaughter. I mean whooooaaa, wooded areas and farms get a big road and an Amazon distribution center so big it meets the horizon “down yonder” and then the area just explodes. Lebanon is beginning to boom as is our area with the newly added Amazon distributing center. We’ve been hanging out in Lebanon a lot lately too instead of going toward Nashville. They will be moving closer to us (part time and temporarily) to an apartment in Lebanon. But guess what? Their beautifully recently remodeled house is up for sale in Gallatin the next quick town over. We always love meeting my SIL and BIL here and have done so through the years. Ya’ll help me remember to have a weeklong birthday in January ok? Flight at Half Batch Brewing, Hendersonville, TN And they DO say a little bit of “fat” helps it absorb – instead of just going directly to our backsides. One MUST have a cookie for things to digest. Anyway Mom got her candy and we have our cookies for an after meal “digestive” as the Europeans call it. This shopper loves PopShelf! Trendy and Perfect! Oh and they even have $1 greeting cards – cute ones of all kinds. But oh -we’ll be baaaaack! And with pleasure. We’d have bought more if I had not already had a big huge shopping week already. She’s always loved these “circus peanuts”. We bought Mom some candy she had been looking for that we’d not been able to find anywhere else. I bought some laundry detergent pods so I’d have a back up. We have been to Sam’s also – so we didn’t need much in the way of household supplies or food staples, but we did make splurges on snacks meaning maple cookies, chocolate peanut butter cookies (kinda like the Girl Scout cookies). What did I buy? Well, we have been on a shopping spree of sorts lately – mainly groceries and the Dollar Store. I just happened to have enough stuff that I needed two! If you have one near you, go check it out.

), a smaller version of the Cracker Barrel type bag, but white with their logo. They also have the lady shopper’s dream – cute bags that you can use later for toting. There is someone there to help in the middle of the square of 4 scanners. Most of the items are $1 to $5 but not all. I believe I read there is also one in Clarksville, but they are popping up in neighborhoods. There is one in the Hermitage, TN area near Nashville and near us. They even had some frozen foods, snack isles, seasonal items, and it was just a fun place to shop. Just about anything you need for those quick “one stop and shop” items when you don’t want to walk through Walmart. There are party supplies, toys, cosmetics, kitchen gear, crafts supplies and materials. What kinda of store, you say? Well, I walked in to pretty soaps and smell goods and “capture your eye” decor and then lots of storage containers for your home of many styles. So while we were with my SIL and BIL yesterday, we decided to do just that. We googled it to see what it was and then said “let’s go”. Immediately what did we do? (Well after we were not driving anymore). First of all the colors “popped” from the road that made me go “what kinda store is that”. We have a new store in these parts, PopShelf, owned by Dollar General.
