We slept in to nearly noon, and as Brenda needed to make a business call at 1pm we stayed at the hotel until after that was finished. We then spent/wasted another half-hour dealing with the hotel in TN where we left some luggage, learning what they would and would not do for us. We eventually decided it would be easier if Harlan opened a FedEx account and arranged for FedEx to pick up the package and ship it to Florida, where we’ll be in a week.

We arrived at Brenda’s parents house (thanks for the punctuation lesson, Eve!) around 2:30 and started cooking brunch. Being good food-obsessed people, conversation centered around what we’d be doing for dinner that night and Saturday night. After brunch we headed over to the high-class food store (Fresh Market?) to pick up dinner supplies.

Back at the ranch, we threw in a load of laundry and went thru the 35mm pictures we had developed earlier in the trip. Around 7pm, we cooked and ate dinner and dessert.

After a bit more conversation (including a phone conversation with Brenda’s brother, Don), we set aside a cup of steel-cut oatmeal to soak (to reduce cooking time in the morning) and left around 9pm.
