ok, so I had to google what a "lift kit" is, and maybe I was actually driving an Acura mommy utility vehicle, not a Chevy truck, but...
I did have another adventure driving in the country today.
No big deal, just downtown Benson, via Raleigh Road. So many interesting farmish, countryside treasures to look at...tobacco fields, old farmhouses, barns, horses, goats in someone's front yard (!!!!!! I gotta have some, too!!!!) , ponds, pick-your-own berry farms, oh so much to look at, I just wanted to drive at a snail's pace to take it all in, but after a few miles, there would always be someone tailgating me and I'd have to speed up again.
Got to the little town of Benson, old-fashioned downtown. Walked the quiet street, just enjoying some alone time, and checking out some funky little shops, antiques and what-not:
Miss Maude's cafe...
..friendly little gnome in an antique shop run by some folks
who were pretty antiquey themselves..
I'm starting to realize what kind of land I'm living in...I saw this shirt the same day as I drove past some ol'
Bubba shootin' a gun off in his front yard. my oh my.
yeah, it's funny. Been living in the South for 20 years now, but it feels like I'm going through another new wave of culture shock, moving to the country and being introduced to "real" southern life. not the city version. It's crazy...like this:
..more old junk.
(i truly hate this expression...sorry)
And this? Gotta love it.
Even smelled a skunk on the road later on. Ahhh, the sweet smells of country life. I think I'm liking it here so far. Liking it a lot. Goodnight!
