Faith, Folklore, and Friends

After stopping and walking several times along the Natchez Trace Parkway before we arrived at Leiper's Fork, we were hungry and looking for something good.  Several friends had recommended Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant, and that's where  we headed for lunch . Catfish, fried okra, hash brown casserole, and a biscuit for me.  I don't usually eat this much fat at one time, but we were having a fun day and calories aren't important on fun days. Every morsel was delicious. Hub had barbecue with his fixings. I heard no complaints from him. I did find a few grocery items for sale, but it is not the Piggly Wiggly. I shot this one while standing on a stage where they have music some nights.  I've heard its a fun time.  We can't wait to go again. Puckett's Grocery is located in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee, a mile off the Natchez Trace Parkway on Tennessee Highway 46 east.

Do you ever get up on Saturday morning looking at all the chores around you that needs to be done? You sigh, look outside, and see that it is a beautiful day, one that can't be wasted on dirty laundry and sticky floors.  It is a day for getting out, for seeing something new, for taking it easy.  We call it 'going junkin'.  If the mood strikes you, the perfect place to go is  Leipers Fork . Your dirty laundry and sticky floors will wait. Leiper's Fork is a historic town located just a mile off the Natchez Trace Parkway.  Exit the Trace at Mile Marker 428 onto Tennessee Highway 46 East.  You can't miss it. The little shops are quaint and different and you never know what you might find there. After a few hours of walking and shopping and breathing in good Tennessee air, you might get hungry.  No problem!  Lots of choices....
