The Awesome Ladies of Charity Consignment Sale

Oh, is this ever an awesome sale.

It is in Nashville, which is not far from here, and really worth it to go to.

There is clothing, belts, hats, suits, blouses, shirts, dresses, even formal wear... it goes on and on. AND the sizes are generally in the right place, and labeled.

There are many famous labels, and really neat fashionable stuff.

I love this sale.

You can take 10 things at once to try on.

Here are just a couple photos of it from outside:

The outside, where all the nearby spaces were taken.

















You can feel good about spending your money here.

















A closer view. I almost got some shoppers in this one.


















Rickey laden with clothes...






















This lot was also full, and people were waiting for a space.





















Next time I will try to get some inside photos. We may go tomorrow too. What a fun sale - - it's the best around.

The famous columnist, Ms. Cheap, from Nashville, also loves this sale.

Hot Diggity Dogs in Nashville, Tennessee

 Hot Diggity Dogs!

This was a fun stop. We both liked this cute Hot Diggity Dogs restaurant. The people there were very friendly, and the hot dog was great. It was a very nice break in the day.

I hope we will be back here at Hot Diggity Dogs again.  There are many choices of different kinds of hot dogs here. Here are a few of my favorite pictures I took while we visited here.







































































This was a fun place.

Here are more pictures of Hot Diggity Dogs on Facebook.

Thanks, Hot Diggity Dogs, for the delicious lunch! We had fun here.

Here is the official Hot Diggity Dogs website. You can check out their menu items and they have a map here too.

The Tamarind Indian Bistro in Nashville, Tennessee

What a great buffet the Tamarind Indian Bistro had on Friday.

They had vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, samosas, a good selection of curries, papadums, nan bread cut into little triangles, and two kinds of desserts right next to the regular buffet. We really enjoyed it.

The Tamarind changes their buffet menu every day. I liked the nice white napkins folded into a hat at each place, and fun Indian music playing too. I saw people from all over eating there. Note to new customers: when you get the buffet, you just walk over to the little counter when you are through and pay.

I took a few other photos the same day. One is of Rickey and a big rooster. Notice the chain on the big rooster's leg. This statue is right down the street from the Tamarind.

We also went into two other stores here, Flavour Women and Men are both really the same store, but men's clothing and hats are on one side, and women's clothing and accessories are on the other. I saw some interesting things.

The women's jewelry featured the new bracelet style, which is are more like big long armbands. They had several kinds of these. To me they seem like many bracelets glued together. But it was a fun store, with friendly shopkeepers.

I tried to get Rickey to try on a hat. Maybe next time!

So... this lunch was definitely a great success. I think we will for sure be going back there! I think I would like to try some of the items on the regular menu also someday. I enjoyed the Chicken Tikka, one of my Mom's favorites, along with Sag and the Gulab Jamun dessert (yummy honey sweet dessert balls sometimes made with rosewater).

Here is the Tamarind Bistro website. They have coupons there for $1.00 off the buffet and one for dinner and  carry-out orders too. They also have a PDF file of their menu.

There are more photos on Flickr. I finally got these posted. Now to upload more photos there.

Now to figure out why the photos I post from Flickr are so small. I think I need to set it up differently.

The Secret World War II City - Oak Ridge, TN



Today was all about Oak Ridge, Tennesee, a secret city during World War II.

We went to the American Museum of Science and Energy and saw many exhibits about how the city was built and about the atomic bomb.

Oak Ridge also has a Peace Bell given to the city by Japan, that we both rang in honor of everyone who served in World War II.

We found some great shops to look at and a small restaurant called The Soup Kitchen, which we liked a lot.

What a fun day!

Hall lights at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville

I liked these. My Aunt and cousin from northern Idaho and middle Washington State came to visit and we all went to the Grand Ole Opry. It was VERY fun. Parking was interesting... a bunch of cars circled around and waited for empty spaces at Opry Mills.

We left a little early to avoid the traffic. It was the late show.

Digg!
