The Holidays

So I am running just a little behind. Just realized that I did not post in the month of November at all. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Just wanted to share a few of my favorite Thanksgiving memories.

*The Thanksgiving that we were playing badminton and listening to Kenny and Dolly Christmas as loud as it would go.
*When I was in Iraq our LTC's wife sent us a smoker and we bought two live turkey's off of the locals and smoked them. It was really good.
*Going "home" to Missouri for Thanksgiving last year.
*Having the most AWESOME friends here in Nashville, that I have spent every Thanksgiving but last year with. We eat way to much, play games and this year we had an official Christmas lighting.

I have been blessed with some of the best friends that anyone could ever have. Just want to let all of you know that I LOVE you very much!!

Now on to Christmas:)

I have a coffee table book that is a book of conversation pieces. I am going to pick two or three a day for the month of Christmas.

*If you could spend Christmas Day with any TV family, past or present, with which family would you choose to celebrate? I would like to spend Christmas on Walton's Mountain with the whole Walton Gang.

*If an acquaintance wanted to spend about $15 on a gift for you, what would you suggest that he/she buy? a cd or a movie

*What is one thing that you will do this Christmas that you were unable to do last year? I am going to spend Chrismas in Mississippi this year. The last time I did that for Christmas it snowed here in TN, if it happens again this year, then they have to come see me from now on.

VOTE!!

This was the first time that I have voted early. It was a different experience, I waited in line for 40 minutes and I am used to just walking in and walking out.

Guess who I am supporting in the election!

My New Car

Okay, I think I need to give up on this blogging thing. I don't know how to keep up with it. I have got to do better. Sitting here watching the debate and decided to come on over here and update since I have to mute half of the debate. Most of what comes out of Obama's mouth makes me want to throw things at the TV and say words that my mother would keel over and die if she heard me say them. So on with the new car. Here are the pics. I LOVE it. It is a 2007 Chrysler Sebring.

Write about the last social event you attended.

It has been way to long since I have posted. I pulled a slip out of the journaling jar for tonight's post.

This weekend I attended two. Friday night me and two good friends went to Knoxville. Randy Owen put on a benefit concert for the church in Knoxville that was struck by tragedy when a gunman entered and shot 9 people, killing two. One of Randy's guitar players is a really good friend and we went to support them. It was awesome, Randy sang for almost two hours, originals, old Alabama classics and he even asked Wade to do one of his own. He sang "Old Enough To Know Better", and was amazed at the whole building singing right along with him just like they were with Randy.

Last night, we headed over to Pottsville, TN to Marcy Jo's. They hold a songwriter's night once a month. Joey and Rory, the hosts, asked Wade to join them this month. AWESOME! We pulled up to a little country restuarant in the middle of nowhere and out back was a haywagon that was the stage. They served homemade desserts, tea, lemonade and coffee and we all just enjoyed some GREAT music.
