Nashville!

I've been to Nashville!

To Nashville!

To Nashville!

I went with my youngest child and had

so

much

fun!

I saw lots of neat stuff. Neat people. Neat places. You know what?

I sang. Sang at the sound booth at the Ryman.....had a CD with one song made for $15.

Sang at the Bluebird Cafe at the songwriter's open mic.

Bought a guitar.

Saw caves, dinosaurs, ...................

Willian Shakespeare..........

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet

Recap

Done so many things and forgot to comment on them.

Latest.

Last night went to A.C.T. to see Tales of the City and it was a good musical.

I loved the choreography and costumes. The costumes were really just 70's fashion.

Hey! I had a rainbow embroidered pair of jeans like those!

The day before, had a BBQ/fire pit night with my Mom on her 58th Anniversary. Cheers to her.

The day before that I went on an Amtrak train with my youngest to the state capital and wandered the streets exploring.

Onward~

Chicken and Dumplings

I made some luscious Chicken and Dumplings.

Yum.

The kids didn't eat it cause they are, well, kids.

I haven't had them eating Southern cuisine enough over the years and when I do.....

they don't give it a chance.

Greens

Dumplings

Corn bread

Grits

Yum.

Taking back my heritage. Uh huh.

The Voice

The show was on a couple nights ago and I watched the first episode on hulu.

I liked watching it.

The show has people sing for coaches (four really talented and successful performers) who had their backs to the singers just listening to the voice.

They could decide whether to turn to see the singer or not.

If they turned, it was supposed to mean they liked what they heard enough to work with you on coaching you.

Well, the show could have been even better if the coaches couldn't see each other. I think they had influence on each other from seeing each others reactions.

I enjoyed it though.

My Father

My father passed away last night.

My mom, brother and I were with him.

He was home.

The Hat

Once there was a hat.

Qui est l'chapeau?

C'est ici. Avec moi.

Oui.
