So much to tell you all about! Nashville, TN is a wonderful and fun place!
Since we arrived here almost two weeks ago we have been to Opry five times, taken a dinner cruise on the General Jackson, attended a concert at the Fontanel Mansion as well as touring the mansion itself. Of course we visited downtown Nashville, with its shopping and the Honky Tonk Bars.
The weather has been very nice for the most part. The only rain we had just happened to be during the Gretchen Wilson - Montgomery Gentry Concert, and it came down.....we got wet! Other than that we can't complain, it's been in the high 70's and 80's every day. Cooler nights.
We had the most wonderful tour at the Fontanel Mansion it is the former home of Barbara Mandrell. The tour guide was wonderful and we have become friends with him. His Name is Steven Whitson (look him up on Facebook). He has an amazing voice and is going far in Country Music. His picture is towards the end of the pictures so don't give up, there are a lot of them this time. Enjoy them.
Along with having a blast here, our thoughts have been at home again with my stepfather Tom. He has been in the hospital for almost two weeks and yesterday they moved him to ICU. Today after better care...he is doing a wee bit better. I know one thing, it's hard to be away form those we love when they are so sick. Please keep him in your prayers. Get stronger Tom and keep up the fight!
Stay tuned for more Blog.....
Miss you all and love you much.
Love,

Penny,
Please give us an update on your stepfather when you can. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, especially Tom, at this most difficult time. Rest assured, the situation is in God's hands and your being so far away at this time is OK. As the Lord's Prayer says, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done." It's in His hands. You take care of yourself.
Love,
Lame and Carm
