Volkswagen Tee Shirt to Bar Louie to Grey's Anatomy/Scandal - March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015 - Thursday!

This day finds me getting up around 8:30 a.m. I slept in. Wow! I hardly ever do that except if I am not feeling well. Anyway, I had to find the coffee. Kelly was nice and had it already made. I just had to add water. Kelly was at work so Hugh and I hung out until Kelly was out of work. Lexi was by my side for occasional pats here and there. It was a leisurely morning with three cups of coffee and television watching while I attempted to wake up. So nice. Kelly came home around 11:00 a.m. I got presents! A long sleeve Volkswagen tee shirt and hat. Woo Hoo!

Kelly and I pulled out of the garage with the top down in her Volkswagen beetle. Woo Hoo! Weather in the high 70s. So far from the type of weather at home. Old time rock and roll and wind in the hair. Perfect day. Rolling down the road without a care in the world. No work. No thoughts of work. Only now. This time. The "now". It is important. It is definitely important.

Lunch was on our minds. We found Tremont Tavern known for great burgers and beer. I chose a local beer from the Chattanooga Brewing Company called Chickbock that is a pilsner. Great beer. I hardly ever eat red meat anymore but will definitely eat one if it will be great. This burger is on my great list. Durly Gomez with beef and chorizo topped with avocado, queso fresco and roasted red pepper cream sauce with tater tots. I chose tater tots for Renee. I know she loves them. I can tell her that these are really great! I nice touch. A nice bartender who had just been to Portland for a microbrew event. Very cool.

After lunch, we headed downtown to the Arts District so that we could walk across the walking bridge and the art museum. It was a nice leisurely walk across the bridge. It is just a spectacular view. It is hard to describe. At the end, we walked across the glass bridge to the Hunter Museum to see history of the area as well an Eudora Welty photographic exhibit. The museum is in a nice old converted mansion. I love old mansions and houses. I love the architecture. There is a new section and the older section. Kelly tells me that she will be attending a wedding in October. Fabulous. This sounds fabulous.

After the museum, we walked back to the shops to peruse what there was to offer. We went into a frankfurter place that has 100 different varieties of hotdogs that had "Who Stole My Hotdog?" in German. We were not hungry but had a nice ice tea to cool off. This was a nice funky place. I thought of my friend Bruce while we were in this shop. We then wandered to All Thing Groovy for an eclectic mix of things. I purchased a little cloth wallet with a peace sign to stick in my pocket.

As the afternoon winds down, we find our way to the car with the top down again and on our way to Bar Louie for Kelly's Scentsy party with some of her co-workers. They had the Chattanooga beer. So good. We also ordered calamari. It was nice sitting in an outside area.

We finally made it home for another round of television shows - Grey's Anatomy and Scandal - while Kelly is on the treadmill and I am writing on the blog.

It is time for some shut eye and hitting the pillow. Peace out!
