when my friend alisha said she would fill in on a writer’s round… she didn’t realize it was in monteagle…
i’m so glad i didn’t know.
because we decided to go, before we knew how long it would take. (it was only 1.5 hours).
we got to have a little girl-chatting, belly-laughing, song-singing mini- girl trip by accident.
it was so fun…
then we got there. WOW. what a place! the smokehouse goes on FOREVER… it is charming, enchanting, special, preserved, and accessible… you should go. there are local products, country flavored items, a delicious raspberry barbque sauce. then, in the restaurant is this wonderful stage, wrapped with antique instruments and candles. what an experience!
and alisha got to sing 5 songs. i love her stories and her voice. so i love getting to hear her sing live. and people always really dig it, which is fun. i got to see her do what she loves to do, which is such a moment…
then we got to drive home and relive the whole thing.
there’s so much good about it. i think i’ll have to just write a song about it.
