Here are some of my favorite pictures from vacation. This first installment has people in each picture. If you know me, I take a lot of pictures of architecture, etc. Those will come tomorrow!

Take it away Paige! Thursday: Circles Woke up after a restless night. Went and ate continental breakfast and then loaded up and left the hotel to go around Nashville. Parked in a Lifeway parking lot where Peyton and Audra went to shop while Pops and Granmal and I went to walk down Broadway. Then they caught up and we saw the Country Music Walk of Fame, all kinds of old buildings, the gift shop and lobby of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and then Audra and I walked back to get the truck (and pick up the rest of the family).

Next, a look around the Grand Old Opry building then the humongous Gaylord (lots and lots and lots of circles around the parking lot AGAIN) . Then back on the road home.

I recycled stuff I hadn't seen in years. Stuff I kept, just in case I needed it. Now, in an effort to straighten up my home office, I'm going through the drawers to my hutch. I found a newspaper from 2002 that I still can't figure out why I kept it. One from 2003 that I realize why I kept, but trashed now. I found some stickers from back at the time I worked at the Disney Store while in college in 1999-2000. There were some photo negatives from my photography class in 1996. Oh, and all sorts of floppy disks when disks could only hold 1.44 MB with class assignments from 1997-2000. It's been a number of years since I had a computer that would read those. I do have an external zip dri...
