Road Trip

Yesterday, my friends and I went on a road trip to Harriman, Tenn.  We stopped at a quilt shop called Loose Threads. I found 5 more browns to add to my new RV Quilt Fabrics.  SO .......... now I think I am ready to start cutting the fat quarters up.  After our fabric stop we decided to venture into downtown Harriman and found some interesting buildings.  One of the buildings of which we could not go in because of reconstruction work is the Temperance Building constructed in 1891. It was the headquarters for the East Tennessee Land Company, which founded Harriman.  It also at one time had   a jail in the basement.  This jail is known to be haunted.  I would have loved to go down there and see....Then there was the Harriman Historic Carnegie Library build in 1909. We hit a few antique shops and then Lunch.  But the most fun place was the Rocky Top General Store still in business since 1957. This wonderful store is family owned and we met Owner David Webb the friendliest shop owner ever.  Now there is every thing in this store from soup to nuts and even a kitchen sink.  If they don't have it you don't need it.  Our day was completed with an ice cream cone from Dairy Queen.  So wonderful to have such great friends that you can share the day with.

Sittin and Rockin on
the  porch.

There is something for
everyone inside this
store.
