Good Rug

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In with the new.

Bad Rug

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are changes a' coming to the house. Out with the old stained carpet.

Cult Classic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cult of the Lamb is a tongue in cheek game where you play a lamb who starts a cult and eventually becomes a god. You get to choose as you go how weird, kind, or dark your cult is. The cult building and action mechanics were fun at first but by the end had become repetitive I was ready to be finished. Still, I enjoyed by time in the cult so worth the effort.

Where Have All The Quilt Stores Gone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of the road there is a combination quilt store, bakery, and bait shop. You know, the usual. But the quilt shop portion was very nice and well stocked. Strangely around where we live there are no quilt stores. There used to be several but they all closed so now Mari and Dad have to get most stuff online. It'd be nice to have a place like this closer than a two hour drive.

The Big Sew

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the Methodist Church where the quilt competition  / display was held. Dad got a big red second place ribbon for his efforts. The winner was very traditional with a lot of applique so apparently that's what the judges liked.

Kinda Mayberry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granville calls itself the Mayberry of Tennessee. They have some cars like the ones from the show as well as cutouts of various characters. This is arguably the largest building in town, which is usually a garage to display all the cars but was cleared out to become a temporary diner for the festival. In front was a full jazz band complete with two singers (one man, one woman) who preformed old-timey songs. They were pretty good!

Small Small Town Surprise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the other direction. One thing we did not expect to see in the middle of a tiny town in a deep red area was a booth for democrats! So we were pretty excited to see that. Note, there was zero noticeable MAGA presence.
