Standing Stone State Park is only a short drive from Cookeville. It is worth the time to drive up there and see the beauty of the quiet country. It is one of my favorite places to go. Here is a some information that I got from the website: http://www.tennessee.gov/environment/parks/StandingStone/   Standing Stone State Park covers nearly 11,000 acres on the Cumberland Plateau of north-central Tennessee. The quaint and rustic park is noted for its outstanding scenery, spring wildflowers, fossils and other natural diversity.

Parrothead or Parrot Head is a commonly used nickname for fanatics of American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett Origin The term "Parrothead" began at a Jimmy Buffett concert at the Timberwolf Amphitheater outside Cincinnati, Ohio. At the show, Jimmy commented about everyone wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats and how they kept coming back to see his shows, just like Deadheads. Then Timothy B. Schmit, a former member of the Coral Reefer Band, now a member of The Eagles, coined the term "Parrothead" to describe each of those fans. Ray Davies of The Kinks wrote "Sunny Afternoon" in 1966, and Buffett changed the lyrics to read /Tellin' tales of parrotheads and parties/ on his album Fruitcakes.   Description The common stereotype is of a person wearing a Hawaiian shirt, flip-flops and boa... 04/01/2008

Who are we? What do We Do? We are the women in the red & pink hats. We are the mothers, grandmothers, and daughters of society. Little girls grow up, but they're never too old to play dress-up and have tea parties. The standard answer to the question, "What do you do?" is... Nothing. Our main responsibility is to have fun! We see this group as an opportunity for those who have shouldered various responsibilities at home and in the community their whole lives, to say goodbye to burdensome responsibilities and obligations for a little while. This is the place to have fun and enjoy yourself. The refrain of the popular Red Hat Society theme song by Mike Harline puts it rather bluntly: "All my life, I've done for you. Now it's my turn to do for me." We feel like we have all been so dutiful a... 04/01/2008
