February 25

Hi, Just realized that we have not blogged since Memphis, if anyone is there to care.   We didn't do very much there, but did drive down to Beale Street and had lunch at one of the establishments there. can't even tell you the name, the reason we there was that they had an outside balcony and it was very  sunny there.  We had been to Beale Street two years ago on a very cold Saturday night and there was a lot of music but it was very cold. it was nice to sit in the sun and hear just a little music. Oh, we stayed at the Graceland RV park, again, at our neighbors were 'Aussies'.  What interesting, friendly people who are travelling around the country until August.  They were going over to Graceland, and then we were going to meet them later, which we did.  They are about these age as we are and we just compared lives, families, travels and countries.  Made some suggestions as to where they should go and asked them to visit us while up north.    It was just a fun evening.  The weather was not very warm when we got up the next morning, so we all decided to leave.  Their travel agent told them it would be summertime so they were not prepared for our weather.  They headed to Florida and we headed for Paducah, KY.  Paducah is the one place that I did not want to head home without stopping at.  We are here and I'm in paradise.  Our furnace has stopped working so we had to address that issue this morning.  t still isn't working, but we have an extra electric heater, so we are toasty.  Tomorrow AM we are going to Mayfield to have it repaired.  this afternoon we went to Hancocks of Paducah, a quilters dreamland.  Russ is so wonderful and patient and helpful and we have lots of material to play with once we get home.  I probably won't share it with him, as he had his pick in Pensacola.  After that we went to the National Quilting Museum.  It was wonderful, everyone should have the opportunity to visit.  The ladies volunteering there were delightful, and it was just a great afternoon.   Then we went for lunch.  Just a fun afternoon.  Unfortunately, it was raining so we were not able to walk around the downtown or see the murals that have been painted on the Riverwalk wall.  Oh, that wall is on the Ohio River and Illinois is on the other side.  We will be visiting Paducah again.
So tomorrow we have the furnace fixed, and then we decide whether to go left or right.  We will let you know later which way we go.... See  you all soon.  Linda
