Well, we’re here. Where we are staying is a little more
rustic than I thought. I mean I knew the cabin was going to be older and on 100
acres of land, but I didn’t expect to be told to watch out for water moccasins
right when I arrived. We have very little reception here so trying to find our
way around is a little challenging without Trip Advisor or doing searches on
our IPhones. We can go to the main house on the property and use their Wifi,
which is what I’ve been doing to blog and keep up with my assignments for
class.
The grounds are beautiful. No complaints there. There are
horses, chickens, roosters, cats, turkeys, ducks, geese, and tons of peacocks
that just roam the property. I of course love that since I’m a huge animal
lover, but we have had to be extra careful with Remington since he loves to
chase anything that moves!
Our first night here we definitely didn’t sleep well. Who
knew peacocks are so darn loud!!! They squawked ALL night long… I’m such a
light sleeper that I don’t think I ever really fell into a deep sleep. I’m sure
though I’ll get use to it by the time we are ready to leave.
I’m a little disappointed with things because it isn’t the 5
star accommodations I expected. There is definitely a lot to be desired. But
like Dan has been telling me “it is what you make of it” so I’m focusing on the
things I really like about it and none of the bad.
Below are some pictures of the "interesting" things about our cabin...
Yes... this is our phone :)
The outside house cat... Remi is not fond of him!
The sweetest face in the world!!!
Our view...
In the morning yesterday it was rainy and gloomy so we
mostly just hung out inside and caught up on some sleep. In the afternoon it
got nicer but was really muggy. Dan and I decided to take Remington on an
adventure around the grounds to hopefully wear him out some since he has been
cooped up all day long. The
property is really hilly so it ended up being a work out for all of us but fun.
When we got back from our walk… surprise surprise… I found a
tick on me. Things that suck blood really freak me out!! Anyways, I plucked the
little beast off me and then Dan and I started checking Remington. That furry
mongrel had two of those little mama-jamas on him! AHHHH! I hate those things!
Of course Dan didn’t get any on him. Remi and I must be the sweet ones ;)
Later that evening Dan and I went to downtown Nashville and
decided to eat at Demo’s Restaurant. They specialize in steak and spaghettis. Dan got the lasagna and I got tilapia.
Both were really good.
The next couple of days are supposed to be REALLY hot! Like
in the 90’s! Dan is kind of miserable because his allergies are sooooooo bad. Hopefully his meds will start kicking in and he can get some relief, but so far they really haven't.
See you tomorrow!
