Tuesday 16th Sept - A Visit to Brenda and Jim's (another visit to the boondocks)!

After a late breakfast we headed out with Susan to Brenda and Jim's homestead in the country west of Atlanta, first calling in at the Cartersville Museum of Western Art. This was a complete surprise, being a new facility housed in downtown Cartersville - not really a place one would associate with culture and art! As with any oasis in a desert it came as a pleasant shock to discover such a wonderful building and exhibits in this unusual location. After spending more time than anticipated at the museum we arrived at Brenda and Jim's in mid afternoon. Whilst Brenda, Susan and Christine chatted about quilts, families etc. Jim and I examined his cars, new extended garage and then went for a run in his Westfield Seven which he brought back from the UK many years ago. As luck would have it we went through a short sharp downpour of rain whilst out in the car, so came back somewhat wet - never mind, it was an experience! On the way back to Susan's we stopped off for a bison burger at Ted's, one of a chain of restaurants apparently owned by Ted Turner.
