My Faith!   I grew up Catholic and going to Church every Sunday. Went to Catholic School and took catechism every week. I went to Church every Sunday until about 4 years ago. 17 years ago my first wife passed away. Katrine was 5 and Nick wasn’t 1 until the end of that month. After [...]

My first trip ever to Nashville was as a Junior High student on a field trip to a state capitol in 1952. Odd that we visited Tennessee’s capitol rather than Alabama’s, where I was in school! Mother made me a new skirt of denim, a cute a-line thing, but a seam ripped on the bus [...]

Well, here’s a selcetion of photos from yesterday – I’ll post more and explain the antics soon, but we have to get back on the road. We have decided to go a Oak Mountain National Park in Alabama on the way to New Orleans. Finally a sunny day for the drive! Later, Jenny On the [...]

Aujourd’hui est un grand jour, nous visitons la ville qui a enfant

My weekend was excellent. The couple I just left were a riot and so down to earth. We had a great home cooked meal with friends of theirs. I saw a star!!! I saw Wionna Judd in the book shop, but I didn;t go up to her. I was too shy to bother her. Now [...]

So much to see…so little time. My planning was off.   It’s a longer drive to downtown Nashville from the campground then it could be. The Cumberland River zigs and zags through the city. The campground, and Opryland, is situated in the bottom of a “U” where it loops. You have to drive up and [...]

Another fine day in Tennessee! We lucked out with the weather today, almost ninety degrees, partial blue skies and not too muggy. We got a late start this morning as we were resting up and we headed out to Opryland (right up the street from our hotel) around 11:30am. The Opryland complex is huge and there [...]
