Waverly

 


















"settled in 1830's. growth seen in 1870's. Waverly, AL first appeared on maps in 1853. 
Nickname for the area "Pea Ridge" but this was never an official name."


This was a rainy-day trip, I do believe it was a Sunday, do to the no folks around, they roll up the streets as they say, ...fun looking around, yet again a quaint, small-town feel, are you like me and dream of living in a small town, where everyone knows your name? Or are you one who prefers something so different???! We love seeing architecture, so fun!!! I couldn't get over how kind folks are in Alabama, I didn't witness any tailgating, or any rude road behave in these small towns, folks were so kind, giving you the road, being more laid back and not rushing, allowing you into traffic, allowed you through to get into line, just really patient ...I see they have an ... ...

  "Annual BBQ festival in October, on the second Saturday every year since the 1990's. 
They have pork and chicken BBQ, as well as art & crafts."

I would enjoy seeing that, we love have BBQ. Checking out great foods and seeing it happening in small town USA. I wonder how busy it might be???! Thanks, for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

No tailgating sounds nice! I like to drive at the speed limit on two-lane roads, and someone is always tailgating me because they wanna go fast. (I admit to speeding on the interstate sometimes.)

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Image
Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
