EARLS RESTAURANT AND MUSEUM

I wasn't going to go to the park for lunch today because it is very hot out and I really don't like sitting in the heat of the day. I thought that later on at dusk I would take my walk then.

The doorbell rang and it was one of my buddies and he said that he wanted me to come out for lunch with him that he had a special place that he wanted to take me. It was about an hour away and it was a good day for a drive in his air conditioned car. So, I said I would like to go and we left the house.

Upon arriving in this small town, he knew just were to go to find this place he was so anxious to show me. We entered what looked like a nice clean restauant and he took me to the back of it where there were very large glass enclosed wardrobes. I could not believe my eyes when I looked inside of them. There was two dresses worn by Lorretta Lynn and her picture autographed and inside the case, there was an advertisement for boxcar Willie there too, and a letter written by Patsy Cline to Earl and she had given him an autographed photo of herself too. There were many other old memorable things in the cases. I enjoyed reading all about them and seeing them too. I was so glad that my friend came to get me and take me there with him. He just smiled at me and said that he knew I would be fascinated with this display and then he explained that all these stars knew Earl and entertained with him. Earl had a band and he was quite famous himself. What a wonderful lunch this turned out to be!!!  Hank Williams old albums and many others that I didn't know who they were all on display.  

I thanked my friend as we drove home for the great afternoon and I was very happy that I had decided to stay home instead of going to the park. I would have missed my friend and this chance to see all that good stuff.  Later, when it is cooler, I will go in the park for my walk,but for now I am just going to sit here and think about all the great things I saw today.
