Every once in a while, it’s fun to take a one or two day trip.

We recently went to Lynnville, Tenn. One of the shops in town was owned by Col. Littleton, a leather shop where he makes beautiful leather bags, belts, cases and jewelry. He also carries a line of men’s cologne in a leather covered bottle.

We took a drive through the countryside where we saw wild turkeys and deer. We also visited several antique shops in Spring Hill, Tenn. You can always have a great time and not have to travel too far.
