One of the most enjoyable aspects of living here in the south has been the many little nooks and crannies found tucked away along the rural roads.
Spur of the moment trips have been the best way to explore and discover. I anticipate what this summer has in store, but I will share something funny from one of last summer's such trips, in the meantime.
Some teacher friends, true southern gems, and I traveled to Lizard Lick. I didn't believe there really was such a place, but.... My friend Cristy, who is from Hick'ry, is a HUGE fan of Lizard Lick Towing and Recovery and wanted to meet these folks...and we did just that! Just traveling there turned out to be an adventure.
We stopped to spend the night in Raleigh where we lounged in the Presidential Suite~long story..., but always remember to take a Southern Belle along. Ours was our friend Ashley! They can work their charms on anyone! The next day we ate at this adorable local restaurant (it's so nice not to always dine at chains) along the way called the Ole Time Cafe where my friends dined on chicken livers and collards. I haven't quite aquired a taste for these yet; although I can eat them, I just choose not to~LOL! Eventually we did arrive in Lizard Lick. Such friendly folks. Actually some of the nicest people I've ever met, and what fun we had. We even had our picture taken atop a tow truck. I won't tell you how we got up there...I'll just tell you that it was not by conventional means. Ah, the simple pleasures in life. Sweet.
