I haven’t written in awhile! Just figured out that I don’t have thumbs…what’s with that! I have been doing my best to chase all of the squirrels, ducks and horses I can. This morning was good, I treed three squirrels and saw three more that were smart enough to run. I like Livingston, Texas Mom likes the rain, but I am not that crazy about it – it cuts into my walking time! Just met a new boyfriend. Another Cardi […]

Nashville was great!
We had an eventful week in Nashville. We toured the Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame. We saw the Bakersfield Sound exhibit there and it was great!

Jerusalem Ridge/Bill Monroe
Jerusalem Ridge! This is the same festival that you can see on TV, called the Cumberland Highlanders. Great location, great people and great lineup. Weather didn’t behave, but it wouldn’t be a good festival if you didn’t invite Mother Nature! Here is the home of Bill Monroe – father of bluegrass. And also a picture of Rhonda Vincent and The Rage.

Jerusalem Ridge to Nashville!
Wow! Jerusalem Ridge! The festival was awesome! I am so glad that we ending our 6 festival extravaganza with the best festival. Before the festival started, we met Doc Campbell Mercer and were charmed! For those that follow us and aren’t bluegrasser, Campbell runs the Jerusalem Ridge Festival and has a vested interest in all things “Bill Monroe”. He and his league of volunteers really put on a great event. This is an event that we would like to return […]

Levi Jackson State Park
I sure had fun at this park! I am the best at “treeing” those squirrels, but chasing ducks is fun too! Bring it on…
