Today was march 30, 2009. We got back from Nashville last night at about 8 pm and it was around 10:00 by the time we made it back from the airport. We had a lot of fun while we were there. Friday Jenny, Slovenka and I walked to the Trist Museum from the hotel. There was a Medieval Arts showing, very interesting artwork, most was of a religious nature, but there were a few item that were for decoration. Pretty amazing how well they have stood up for so many years. Then we met at the convetion center and went by bus to the Hermatage Hotel and had High Tea and a historical tour of the place. This hotel has seen a lot of famous people pass through its halls. Once Gene Autry stayed there and wanted his horse to be on the same floor he was on. His horse was taken to the fourth floor on the service elevator and treated like a famous guest.. wonderful history. When we arrived back at the hotel we went around the convention floor until the guys were ready to go eat. Friday night we all went to Morton's Steak House...Wonderful meal.
Saturday Jim and I drove to Murfreesboro to see Pete and Earline. She looks wonderful, and her treatment is over. They will do tests in one month and we all pray the cancer is all gone. Jennifer and her little one..Lake were there. He is just a little cutie and such a little character. Jessie showed up for a little while and told us of her wedding plans,,we willbe seeing them again in May. Then we stayed so long we had to hightail it back to get on a bus to the Grand Ole Opry. There were tornado warnings all over the place and pouring down rain, but we all braved it and nothing hapened. The "old guys" were singing tonight. Had only heard of a couple...Ronnie Milsapp was the last one out so I guess he was the "Star" of the evening. Vionce Gill was there the night before... On Sunday morning we all met at 9 and went to The Pancake Pantry, which all the Owen's clan raved about and we heard how the line would be about 3 blocks long..well it was so cold it was only a little out the door sowe got in pretty quick. all of us loved our meal,,,except Jim. He complained about almost every meal we had..and he was a grumpuy old man the whole time... Today back to the normal routine...laundry, grocery shopping work out and try to get a little organizing done. I am trying to take a little time every day and work on one spot, so today I am filling all the Easter Eggs and filling up a tub with them,, that way when the kids get all the candy out they can put them back together and back in the tub.....I can dream can't I? I spend so much time trying to find all the matches,,,,we are talking a BIG tub of eggs, and this year I had to add a lot as there will be 4 more children...Should be lots of fun!!! Well, I am tired and it is time for bed..so night all.
