What Would the Colonel Wear?

Last weekend Joe and I went on a mini-vacation / road trip to Kentucky - just a little way to celebrate the completion of his MBA. We stopped in Louisville, Lexington and Corbin.

My favorite stop was Louisville, specifically Bardstown Road, which has a lot of cool shops, restaurants, bars, etc. We shopped vinyl at a couple record stores, had dinner, played some vintage arcade games and tasted Graeter's Ice Cream. All in all a great night.

Joe would probably choose Saturday as his favorite. We started the day out at a Toy Antique Mall and THEN drove a couple hours south to visit the birthplace of the 11 herbs and spices - the original Harland Sanders Café



We had some lunch and paid our respects to the Colonel.



My plan was to wear a white dress that day so I would match the Colonel, but the weather was very unpredictable. Instead I settled for a white skirt and this bright striped top I bought at Goodwill. I bought it on the first Saturday in April, which means it was 50% off.

Unfortunately, I had to pull it out of my laundry basket to take this photo.



So that was last weekend. This weekend has been fun as well. Yesterday morning we had breakfast at a Bloomington dive called Wee Willie's and then went to a community garage sale. I've been to quite a few joint garage sales in the past, but this one kept going and going and going...

We bought a few things. One is this collection of string that I got for $1. I'm excited to make some bright friendship bracelets.



This morning we checked out $.99 Sunday at Goodwill. I didn't buy anything, but I took a second to reflect on all the great purchases of the past since this will be my last $.99 Sunday! Not sure I mentioned it yet, but Joe and I will be saying our farewells to Bloomington at the end of this week. More on that to come.
