A Little Bit Mayberry... A Little Bit Minow Creek...

 

A visit to Nashville, Tennessee brings up images of country music and cowboy boots, city lights and honkie tonks, urban meets rodeo… but to me, a visit to Nashville means family. 

 

Our firstborn moved there some time ago to experience a life that moves to a different beat from what can be heard/felt at Minnow Creek.  So a six and a half hour road trip down I-40 is all that is needed to bring our whole family together for a little while.

As a Mom, having my oldest baby girl so far away is hard.  But one thing that eases my mind is knowing that she is not far from a special place that is filled with special people. 

 Red Tree Coffee is that place; the Conleys and Bruces (a.k.a. The Davis Sisters and family) are those special people.  Located about 30 minutes from Nashville, this little town feels like… a little bit Mayberry… a little bit Minnow Creek… a whole lot down home USA.

 

Upon entering this unique coffee shop you are greeted with warm smiles, lots of hugs and a feeling that someone important is visiting that day only to learn that someone is YOU!

 There are plenty of places to sit and visit with the locals, check your email or write a blog.

 

The place has a gallery feel thanks to walls decorated with artwork by Robert Langford, brother-in-law to the gals.

 

His wife, Camille, has hand-made lotions and soaps for sale

 and you can also purchase some of the shop's secret recipes packaged for "take and bake".

Saturday breakfast for us consisted of a wide display of goodies

 

 

 

and lots of coffee – both hot and iced.

Live music is the norm here with new acts giving a first performance or seasoned artists looking for some Friday night fun while filling in an open date.

While the talent shared from this off the path venue is astounding, the love that flows so freely here cannot be matched. 

 

 

 

"Stay out of my kitchen!"

Find them on Facebook, MySpace or just give them a “google”.  And the next time you are in the Nashville area allow time to stop by and say “Howdie!”
