Surprise

You never know who might show up!

Franklin today

 Good morning - off to Nashville (actually Franklin) in a few minutes.

Wish we were touring historic Franklin instead of a church seminar - but somehow work goes on. Cindy and I visited here a few years ago and saw several mansions and civil war sites - very interesting.

Have a blessed day!

Tennessee Governor

The Governor of Tennessee and my Leadership Putnam class.

Tennessee Capitol Building

Some photos in the Senate and downstairs when we had our photo with the Governor. The photo with him in it (4th down) I've noted which one is the Governor.

Hermitage garden

Looks like a great place for a reception or a wedding.

Another rainy day here in Cookeville - counting down the days until closing on our house.

Andrew Jackson gravesite

President Jackson is buried in a garden to the side of his home - The Hermitage. The grounds are expansive and the garden was nice.

The Hermitage

The front of the Hermitage is hard to even see with all of the huge trees. And in back, some old guy got in the way of my photo.

Opryland tree

This tree is so huge, it's hard to get in a photo. The photo with Cindy standing in front of it is from the upper 'Lobby' area of the convention center. If you look close in the photo where you can see the entire tree, you'll see people way down at the bottom. This tree could be 60' tall or more. The ornaments are large packages a foot or two across.

More Nashville Opryland Hotel

More of Opryland Hotel in Nashville for you to enjoy - especially since we have freezing rain this morning.

As always, click on photos to see larger.

River walk???

Actually this is the Opryland Hotel and Convention center. We drove over yesterday after church and wandered around for awhile. It was decorated as nice as we remembered it from about 9 years ago or so.

The kids are here (well, most of them)

The game was fun even though the Titans lost. The place was sold out and it gets NOISY in that arena! I must admit the Jets looked great and the Titans played horrible.

The kids got in late last night and my folks and Janice and Mark stopped by earlier in the evening. Lots of family in Tennessee right now!
