Our Nashville Trip

h

Ok, I am behind but here are a few promised pictures from our Nashville trip. We had a great time . I'm new at this, so I hope I get it right. Here is a picture of Bobby in our room.

1. Our first stop was RCA Studio B, a famous recording studio on Music Row where just about everybody, not just country singers, has recorded at one point. The piano is one played many many times by Elvis Presley. In fact, he kept trying to buy it, but no luck.




2. Speaking of Elvis, see the cabinet above with the missing panel? This is courtesy of the foot of the King of Rock'n'roll himself. Seems EP was recording one night and the equipment wasn't quite up to par. The king then declared that as much money as he was making for RCA, he expected the equipment to be working and proceded to give a karate kick (he was a black belt) to the cabinet.

1. In the picture of the guitar and the clothes, the guitar belongs to Charlie Daniels and the clothes belong to Hank Williams Jr. These and many other pictures were taken on our next stop, which was the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The plaque is Kitty Wells' plaque in the Hall of Fame. See how shiny her nose is? This is because there is a legend in Country music that if you rub her nose on the plaque, you will have good luck. Sorry the pictures aren't posted within the message instead of all at the top. I'll learn! Anyway, we had a great time and hope to go again. Let hear from you and tell me what you think. God bless.

In Nashville, Tennesee!!!!

Hey all! Bobby and I are in Music City USA! We decided to take a trip and arrived earlier this evening. It is a pet friendly hotel , so we have our little Yorkie, Sparky Jake, with us. I'm on the road with my two guys! Get this- when we checked in, the Reservations clerk said, "So what brings you to Nashville? " Bobby told him it was kind of a second honeymoon. So he says, "In that case, I'm giving you a free upgrade to a jacuzzi room!" Fantastic! Tomorrow we are going to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and to the Ryman Auditorium. Tomorrow evening we are going shopping at Cool Springs Galleria, to be followed by dinner at Red Lobster. I'll be taking lots of pictures and I will upload them when we get back tomorrow evening, so get ready! You'll be my captive audience for a vacation slideshow! Toodles till then!

Kill The Guy At Wal-Mart!

Bobby and I bought a treadmill at Wal-Mart, as I mentioned. As you know, treadmills are expensive, but we considered it an investment in our health and our future together. We paid $377.00 for this thing. When we picked it up, (which we had to arrange with a friend with a truck to do) I asked the manager specifically if it was put together, just folded down in storage position. He assured me that yes, for the most part, it was, nothing major to do, just a few simple things that would take about 10 minutes . Well, I get it home, unpack it, and there are ten bazillion parts to this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is an entire BLISTER PACK, not a little bag, an entire laptop sized blister pack, of little nuts and bolts and screws and washers. You have to attach the electronic control panel, and put the arms on, and put the sides on, and attach the safety belt, and who knows what else. There is a number in the instruction manual to call to have a tech from the company come and put it together. I thought I was saved! I called today to check on it, and they want (Drumroll please) $194.00 to come and asemble it! The guy at Wal-Mart just lied to sell a treadmill. So now I have 3 choices: 1. Inconvenience my friend with a truck again to take it back to Wal-Mart here and have them put it together, if they'll even do it, and then again to haul it back when they are through 2. Cough up approximately half the price of the treadmill to have a tech come, plus promise him my first born child to get him to come on Sat since I work all the other days 3. Have a $377 piece of useless junk sitting in the corner of my living room! I am furious!!!!!!!

Bobby and I just got a treadmill that is being delivered friday night, and we're excited! We want to exercise and lose weight so we can have many many happy, healthy years together.
