ANOTHER Great Opry Show

We had tickets to last nights' Opry. We've had them for a while and didn't realize that last night was the kickoff to the CMA Music Fest. There was a special Plaza Party before the Opry. We got to the Plaza around 5:00 and walked around a little, GAC tv had a bus there and you could register for something - the line was long, we didn't bother. There were a couple other booths giving away things, a tire changing contest, lots of stuff to see. At 5: 30 Luke Bryan came out to the stage to perform. He certainly seemed to be having fun. He played for about an hour, put on quite a show. Lots of interaction with the audience.

There were also a bunch of people walking around with these t-shirts on

the front had Carrie Underwoods Fan Club logo on it. So I asked a couple girls who were wearing them if they really did get to party with Carrie. They said yes, she does a fan club private concert every year for them. That's kinda cool!!

So we got to our seats and, they were kinda far away from the stage.

Ok, it's almost as far away as you can get, but it was a great show, and there are big screens on the walls so it's easy to see what's happening on stage.. We saw a four or five starting acts, then the big names came on:

Carrie Underwood

Montgomery Gentry,

The Oak Ridge Boys,

and Luke Bryant again!

Isabella

Meet Isabella Marion Clay. Jim's daugher Chrisy and

her husband Dan are the very proud parents of this beautiful little girl,

born on May 12. They all live in Australia, so I don't know

when we'll get to see them, so

we'll have to try and spoil her from here!

Stormy Super Tuesday

Lots of storms came through last night. The worst were west and north of us. We're fine, As of late last night Michael, Debbie & kids were fine. It's not daylight yet so I don't know what it looks like outside, but we have power and all, so there's probably just some branches down around here. There were tornadoes over near Michael's, but hopefully everything is okay out there. All the storms are east of us now so today will be better.

Yup, we're watching. What a great game. I'm hoping Green Bay wins. What a great Superbowl that would be!
It's cold here these days. Only in the high 30's or low 40's. After watching the game-we'lll take our weather over that.
Jim got a job offer last week, I'm still looking. Other than that we've just been puttering around doing stuff that needs to be done. The dogs are still growing, still the cutest puppies around. Laura was here over her winter break. We went to the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Hermitage, and of course The Wildhorse. It was good to see her. Both kids will be here in March. That will be a lot of fun. Jim's family is coming here for a week in April and hopefully my father will find time to stop by during his southern journey.
