Tennessee Time

I always drive to the summer gift show in Atlanta, so I can antique along the way and get things home. On the way back from the Atlanta Gift Show last week, we decided to take a little detour .  My friend, Marlene, has this gorgeous home near Cookeville and I wanted my friends, Laurell and Christy to see it!  So we decided to break up the trip and spend a night with Marlene and her husband, Ryan. 

The views from the outside deck are breathtaking!

Early morning light

 

Marlene makes her wrap around decks look adorable!

 

I could just sit here forever, especially with Lily- their white and  very fluffy dog.

 

 

Tennessee rainbow as we were driving into town for dinner that evening!

 

 

 

We got to enjoy  just a little slice of heaven in Tennessee- then it was back to Chicago the next day for us!

 

I posted pictures of the inside of Marlene's home on a previous post- if you want a peek-

Thanks Marlene and Ryan for letting us enjoy your little paradise and thanks for ordering the rainbow too!  Now if you could have only ordered a good old Tennessee thunderstorm while we were sitting on your screened in porch?????????????????????
