The Bluebird Cafe

Keith and I went to The Bluebird Cafe last weekend for a charity event. Songwriters Rivers Rutherford ("Ain't Nothing 'Bout You" Brooks & Dunn), Gary Burr ("In a Week or Two" Diamond Rio), Jim Photoglo ("Fishin' in the Dark" The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), and Georgia Middleman ("I'm In" Keith Urban) sat in a circle and took turns telling stories and playing their hits. It was seriously one of my favorite things I've done in Nashville. Check out the schedule here and go!

*We were actually closer than the picture makes it look.

Snow & Sun

From this...

to this...

We've had an unusually snowy winter, but on Saturday the sun came out and temperatures went up. Keith, Darcy and I met Aimee and Jack at the park for a 3 mile hike. It was just what I needed to get through the next round of snow and cold weather.

*Obviously, Darcy was excited to be spending some time outdoors.

Phase One Complete!

The brick is down! There's no turning back now...

It's Restaurant Week!

Keith and I have reservations at Germantown Cafe tonight. Soup, plum pork, pan seared trout, coconut curry salmon or New Orleans shrimp (can't decide), and key lime pie, here I come!

Fireplace Remodel: Phase One

I came home to this a couple of nights ago:Keith had removed the trim, mantle, brass doors and vent covers.

The plan is to replace the firebox, demolish the brick, and make the fireplace a little more aesthetically pleasing.

Wish us luck!

How we feel about football this season...

Snow... Again!
