I've actually been to Nashville once before -when I worked for UNUM, we had one of the sales conferences here at the Grand Ole Opry hotel. I remember walking around the hotel with my friend Sue. And, when our departure was delayed, Sue and I ended up going to a show at the Ryman. Vince Gill hosted it, and Tricia Yearwood was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry! Fortunate for us - we got to see two big name stars that night, just by chance.
Okay, here are some pictures of what we've seen so far:

Oh. Woe. The Grand Ole Opry looks amazing. Thank you for taking us on this trip.
ReplyDeleteIt is a neat town!
DeleteThat is some place....and I love Mary Chapin Carpenter.
ReplyDeleteYour in a good part of the country now. I live 78 miles south of Nashville. It wasn't but a couple years ago that the hotel and ground was flooded out and had to be redone.
ReplyDeleteWow - I didn't know that! I was there (at that hotel) in 1999 for business. I think it may be even bigger now? We're heading for Memphis next.
DeleteWow, very cool! Thanks for sharing the pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
DeleteDear Melissa, that hotel is truly amazing. I can see that I have to get out and about a bit! I understand that a new series is starting on television this week that is entitled "Nashville." I think it's about the competition between two female singers--one older and one just breaking in.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your review of "A Cat's Legacy: Dulcy's Story." You so lifted my spirits! Peace.
AS you did mine with your book!
DeleteWhat an amazing place!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun town :)
DeleteWow! The Grand Ole Opry looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteYe Haw! Or Hee Haw!!
DeleteIt's been so long since I have been in blogger world I forgot you were traveling the Seven Seas. And I love Nashville. Those pictures are great, and those ribs made my mouth water. Can't wait to see more of your posts. I'm now going to spend the next hour reading all your blogs that I have missed in the last 9 months.
ReplyDeleteLovely Jane! I have missed you! It's been a wild ride as you'll see if you really do read back - wonderful, wonderful and also some real soul searching. Uprooting and winging it are not my forte, and it's been a real growth opportunity - as they like to say!
