NASHVILLE! First order of business yesterday was moving from our hotel out of town to a hotel just a block or two away from Broadway and printers alley. Then on to breakfast at Puckets Grocery. I use the term breakfast pretty loosely, Brittney and I had pulled pork with sweet potato pancakes and Patty had brisket hash on a cornbread waffle. It was all amazing! They did actually out a fried egg on top so that we knew it was supposed to be breakfast! It's been such a perfect temperature whilst we've been here, just great walking weather so we walked a fair ways around the city and then got a taxi to East Nashville. It is such a cool place! Lovely streets of arty houses with perfect gardens. Some had wrap around porches with rocking ... read more

On our way to Nashville today! It stop was for breakfast at Cracker Barrell... food was so cheap not even $10 for pancakes, eggs, sausages and tea!

Dec. 24, 2013. Like Jessie, the native Nashvillian and Andrew, the ex-New Yorker/neo Nashvillian, warned us, the weather turned decidedly colder after the storm. I checked the weather on the computer this morning and it was colder in Nashville than it was in Rockville Centre. So much for my dreams of a "Tender Tennessee Christmas." We have managed to go out quite a bit and it's funny to see how Nashvillians dress for the cold...some are still in shirtsleeves while others wear a hoodie and then there are the people dressed up like Eskimos. I've had a wonderful time decorating Andrew's house (mostly at his request). I haven't done any arts and crafts projects in ages...was so much fun getting "crafty" again. I made a wreath for the front of the house and centerpieces for the ... read more
