Country Music + Live Bands + Amazing Food + Great Company = A Fabulous Weekend in Nashville

We had a wonderful weekend in Nashville, TN celebrating a friend's birthday! From the Second Fiddle, Legends, and the Honkey Tonk to Jack's BBQ and Opri Mills, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in the city that was built on country music! Our favorite country music is definitely the oldies....... Yes Waylon, Conway, Hank, Merle, Loretta, and Johnny are who we listen to on Saturday mornings with Ron Colson's Country Classics. What an awesome place for a weekend get-a-way. We should definitely do it more often!

We Love Christmas Cards!

One of our favorite parts of the holidays is sending and receiving Christmas cards. The sparkling glittered cards, family photos, depictions of Baby Jesus and the manger scene, holiday letters, and personalized notes help to keep our focus on the true meaning of Christmas. When the mail arrives, and we have Christmas cards, we have to equally open them so one person doesn't get to open more than the other........ yes just like little kids............ and yes sometimes we fight on who gets to open certain cards! We appreciate everyone who continues to send them with the increasing price of stamps and the use of electronic cards, so we always have them out somewhere in the house for the rest of our family to enjoy them. We usually display them on the mantel in our living room, but this year we decided to do something a little different. I think it turned out pretty neat!
