Too many motorcycles

Last Thursday when I took my aunt out to lunch, we couldn't get near our usual place in the small town of Cumberland Gap, TN for all of the motorcycles there. This week was the "Honda Hoot" in Knoxville and Thursday was the group ride to Cumberland Gap and they had lunch there. You can't see much in these photos as we weren't allowed on the main street and had to detour around them. I took one picture fron the end of the street and the other from across the small park in the center of town. The town is tiny. The main street is only a few blocks long but it is pretty. The businesses there are mainly antique shops now and a wonderful restaurant, Webb's Country Kitchen. We had to go somewhere else but still had a good time spending the afternoon together.




Today we went to Lowe's and spent quite some time just looking. Since we are pretty sure that we are going to go with new construction, we decided to look at what's available in refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ceiling fans, and such. I was amazed at the big price difference between the basic models and the top of the line with all of the bells and whistles. You sure could get carried away if you weren't careful. I don't want the absolute bottom model but I also don't want the top of the line either. I'm going to wait and see what the builder installs and then decide if I want to upgrade. But, all of that is assuming that we are going to have a house built and we aren't at that point yet. Guess you could call this, being prepared.

Howard and I are both big fans of all type of auto racing, including drag racing. He and my son have both been involved in racing at one time earlier in their lives. We were just heartbroken at the news today of the death of Scott Kaletta in the explosion and crash of his dragster. My heart and prayers go out to his family.
