I am NOT a country girl!!

Ok so yesterday I went to visit my friend Gayle McClard!Owner and proprieter of McClard's antiques in Scottsville ky~


We had a great visit and I got the new Primitive place mag and it is fabulous!!I also got a beautiful bue coverlet!!! I have not taken a photo yet but will be in my next blog post~

So on the way home I decide to go thru the country vs the interstate to which I normally travel!!MISTAKE~~~I got lost. I called Lloyd and he didn't even know where I was!!All I could see were old barns. houses 100's of years old and unlived in!! EEEK I AM a city girl!! Bring on the people, the traffic, the noise!!YIKES!!I got  alittle scared as there was NO road signs anywhere!!

Then, I remembered Gayle and she is a country gal so I called and told her where I was. She knew exactly where I was at. I knew when I saw AMISH market I was way out!! 30 mins later (I turned around) back to I -65 and I was doing 80!!!Thank the Lord!!

I admire you country gals with farm houses and all the animals as I love animals but honestly I could NEVER live out that far!!I need lights at night. I need a Target 2 mins away and a Starbucks!I can't handle the country!! I LIKE visiting and I love the scenery but bring on the pavement!!LOL

Have a great day to all I am headed to Starbucks~~~

Much Love, Candi

  1. Candi, I live 2 miles from Gayle. Sorry you got lost, but you should have stopped at the Amish Market! They have wonderful breads, desserts & cheeses! Isn't it funny how you get accustomed to your surroundings? I've only lived in the city during my college years and don't think I could take it now. I love the country and the wide open spaces! Glad you had a good visit with Gayle....isn't she the sweetest?

    2. Yes, I love going over to Mammy's (Cathy's). Her parents and my parents were best of friends. I think her next show is in June? She's a sweetheart, too! If you leave Gayle's and then turn headed to Mammy's, that's the road I live on...saltbox on a hill. Yes, we'll have to meet sometime:)!

  3. Sorry you got lost ... it can be scary on the backroads at night. I love living in the country - the quiet, the stars at night are so clear and it smells so clean. Miss talking to you. Have a wonderful evening!

  4. Oh Candi..believe it or not us Country Girls feel the same way when we go to the city..LOL..give us a country road and we will eventually find our way home..give us an interstate and we will drive 100 miles in the wrong direction..cause there just aren't any markers like that old barn or that amish market to let us know we are going the right way..so we do know how you feel. sorry you got lost but it did make me giggle at myself as much at you because i do get lost in the city all the time... Glad you had a good visit with Gayle..

    Have a good weekend!

    Blessings
