Mobley wedding

 Finally, some wedding photos! Sorry it took me so long to post...

 Really no need for me to tell you about any of these, you know everyone!

 Above is the reception hall, and below is the morning after brunch at the hotel.

Everything was lovely, and we're so glad we were able to be a part of this special day.

Feathered Friends

Spring is here and our bird feeders are HOPPING with a wonderful variety of colorful birds. The little dude up top is a Northern Oriole, then a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and on the ground are Cardinals, Gold Finches and a Indigo Bunting. It may seem nerdy, but we love bird watching!

Uncle Paul's in the news!

In case you haven't heard or seen it, Uncle Paul is on the cover of a local Long Beach magazine! I've included the link below, so you can read the article. He's a star!

Only in Nashville can you go to a neighborhood dog parade, have a nice chat with Emilylou Harris, and then listen to a street performance of Sam Bush, Rodney Crowell, Mike Farris, Emilylou Harris, John Hiatt, and Buddy Miller.... and all before lunch. Happy hearts.

Grrrrrrrrrrr

Family

 

Always so nice to hang out with my family. Sorry we missed Uncle Paul...Thanks again to Jim and Linda for hosting supper and to Mom and Dad for the football tickets. I love you all and wish you a very happy Thanksgiving!

Lutherpalooza!

My friend Steve, and I played this afternoon at a Christian Music Festival, put on by the Lutheran church, hence the name "Lutherpalooza". They invited praise bands from all the local churches to play 35 minute sets. Since my Presbyterian church, nor Steve's Catholic church have praise bands, we did our own thing. For instance, we played "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" with a country Patsy Cline feel, a bluegrass version of "Are You Washed In The Blood of the Lamb/I'll Fly Away (I play mandolin on that one), an Amy Grant song, and Peace In The Valley. Steve was surprised to learn that Peace In The Valley was written for Mahalia Jackson, not Elvis Presley as he thought! He sang it Elvis style though (sometimes he can't help himself). We did 7 songs total, on a really big outdoor stage. It was fun, I think we surprised some folks, we weren't what they were expecting! Always keep 'em guessing!

Nothing else on the musical horizon for now; Steve wants me to audition for a Christmas variety show with him...we'll see.  So there you have it, girl with guitar!
