Natchez Trace Trail


Doug and I went for a nice drive yesterday on the Natchez Trace Trail. It is a scenic highway that runs to the west of Nashville. We saw some wild turkeys, some deer, and just a hint of some yellow leaves. In one month it will really be beautiful with all the colors of fall. Sassy enjoyed the trip too!

Back from CO

I spent the last couple of days in CO visiting family and friends and checking out the State Fair. I will get the pictures up soon so everyone can see all the fun Sassy and I had. Right now though, I'm too tired!

As Ikey would say...

Moon, moon, great big silver moon- Won't you please shine down me? 
I remember from a long time ago Ikey singing this song out on the farm. I always think of that when I see a full moon. 

Evening on the deck

Doug and I are spending a nice evening on the deck. This has been the one of the nicest months in Nashville history and Doug and I are definitely enjoying it!

Phelps Fever!

Like the rest of America, I am totally enthralled with Michael Phelps. How could you not be? I hadn't even heard about him until the Olympics, and now I have spent the last week watching every race and interview. I am so immensely proud of this man that I have never, and will never meet. That's what I love about the games is that you get the chance to learn about the incredible people that make our country great. So here's to you Michael and you're countless medals- You're a nice person, an amazing athlete, and most importantly- a great American!

Another Martini Please...


I am happy to discover that my most favorite hometown band Martini Shot has put out a new CD!
They are the band from Pueblo that played at Patrick and my reception at the Red Barn. I think they are great and I have so much fun whenever I see them. I was on their website last night and was happy to see that they have put out another CD of original music. You don't even have to be in Pueblo to purchase- you can ITunes it! I wish the guys would come to Nashville- they have the stuff to make it. 

Likes that Tiger!


Jackie had these pictures of Brandon  that I thought were so funny I had to put them on my blog too. He really likes his little Tigger!

Fun at the Wildhorse

Doug and I went to a show at the Wildhorse Saloon the other night. We saw a good group that was very old school and Johnny Cash-ish. I can't remember their name but I do know there was the word "fabulous" in their title. Doug and I were highly entertained by the large masses of line dancers that descended on the floor the second the band took a break. We did not join in. We were too intimidated by their 'excellent display of dancing ability' that we feared we would look foolish next to them, so we maturely sat and talked about them instead ; )

Address update

Just an update on Patrick's address for those who don't read the comments. He is going to have the same one- they are just forwarding his mail to him. If anyone has any questions feel free to email me or him- his address is patobaird@gmail.com

Patrick on the move

Hey everyone- I just wanted to let you know that Patrick's unit moved to another area in Iraq. He isn't going to be receiving mail anymore at the address you all currently have, so please hold off on sending him anything until he has his new one. I know some of you were planning on sending some things for his birthday, so I'll try to get it from him as soon as possible! 
He said his new area is a lot more calm than the place he was last, so we can all be thankful for that!
