Children's Benefit Concert at the Ryman


Joanna won a pair of tickets to the annual Children's Benefit Concert at the Ryman Auditorium at her work.  We had front row balcony seats in the middle.  I don't know country singers that well but I think this is Rodney Atkins.  I copied this from his website...he sang the song.  “Cleaning This Gun” is another real-to-life tune about that nervous time when a boy first meets his girlfriend’s father. “I lived this song,” Rodney says. “One of the first times I went courting in high school I was met by a girl’s daddy standing beside the driveway with a .357.”

A female singer in very tight clothing sang a song about being "Knocked Up".  

I forget the name of the two 
guys...one who sings and plays different instruments and the other plays with his microphone stand.  Charlie Daniels put on a good show.  "The Devil Went Down To Georgia", "Star Spangled Banner", etc.  It was all very LOUD!

Reno Trip




The weekend of January 23-25 we flew Southwest to Reno for our daughter Holly's wedding. Holly married Travis Thompson. They will be moving to Dallas this spring so Holly can go to graduate school at Texas Women's College. Our oldest son, Ryan and his fiance Dionna Bradford were able to come to the wedding too. Ryan and Dionna are getting married March 4 in San Diego and we will be flying out for that wedding too. This time we will take more time and stay at the Worldmark Resort Hotel Downtown.


Maggie stayed at the Crossroads Pet Hotel and Spa in Franklin.
