Country Top Ten

This past weekend one of my best friends, Amanda, invited us to the Cotton Gin in Somerville. This is the cotton gin that her loooonnnnnnng time boyfriend, Winn, partially owns. We loved the tour and since I love Top Ten Lists I will give mine for our little trip.

Top Ten(or 8) Reasons I Love Going to the Country and the Cotton Gin.

8. By the time you get there you have been in the car so long you must take a bathroom break except there are no places to stop.

7. When you do finally arrive at your destination you find a bathroom that has this on the back of the toilet:
6. We were the ONLY one that pulled up without a BAT (Big #@$ Truck)


5. Getting to play with unseeded cotton, which will also double as our next show and tell.

4. Seeing Darrell in a non business setting, loving all the details of cotton ginning(is it possible to make anything into a verb?) Win, what is the verb of cleaning cotton?

3. Freezing our butts off while looking at bales and bales of cotton and trying to not get knocked down by Juan driving the forklift thingy.

2. Being able to know exactly what every piece of machinery does, because they don't have sophisticated names:

And the Number One reason I loved the Sommerville, TN is because someday my friend will live there too.

Love this post! So glad y'all were able to come and visit; Win was glad too. It was a fun field trip even though it was freezing!
