Nashville, TN



That's Sparkle and that's Seth. We love them both.











Athena, the tallest indoor statue in North America.



Bubby was almost left in/almost stayed in Nashville.

The Sounds, the minor league baseball team in Nashville, has a guitar for a scoreboard. And ice cream in baseball helmets.


BIG THANK YOU TO: Joseph's aunt, Jackie Nelson, uncle, Bill Nelson, cousin, Charlie Nelson. With out your hospitality Nashville would never have been the same.
Also to Grace's parents who showed us the true tastes of Tennessee.

In Nashville every other person plays the guitar and can sing like an angel. At no time were we not surrounded by music from walking down Broadway, to parking the bus in the park and hanging out with the reincarnation of June Carter and Johnny Cash. The southern hospitality was almost too much to bare as we stayed at the Nelson's home and Charlie' apartment for the week leading into the Fourth of July. Fourth of July could have been the largest, most explosive fireworks celebration in the world. It blew eardrums and eyeballs so far away that remnants could be found in Memphis. For anyone who doesn't know how great Nashville is, don't go there, because I plan on leaving it America's best kept secret.

The picture of the garden is from the Nelson's estate. Before it was a pile of dirt and weeds and with what we've planted it will be a bright growing garden complete with several species of butterfly attracting flowers to delicious vegetables. All the owners need to do is try to water it daily. If anyone in the northwest would like the same done to their yard let us know.

YEEEEEhaw! Nashville, I wanna go there!
Unfortunately, we can't seem to grow a garden in Leavenworth sand. But we may scare up a few days of work for you (painting, fence building &/or brushing). Love, Ma
