World Series Game #3

Colton and Nancy went to the World Series Game #3.  This is the game that will forever be remembered as it ended with the "obstruction" call at 3rd base.  Classic comment was the guy behind us saying "Walk off Trip!".  What a thrill to be at the World Series!

It's time for basketball . . .

McKendree opened their exhibition season against the University of Illinois in Champaign on Thursday night.  They lost the game but Matt had a blast.  There was a large hometown crowd to cheer Matthew on in his first game - he shot and made a free throw.  As a freshman he was thrilled to get playing time.  Lori, Rod, Marlin and Carolyn were at the game.

Thursday nights at the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN is Opry Classic.  It is a variety of artists playing the songs that made the Opry famous. Here it is all about the music and songs.  The show was fantastic. The sound in the Ryman is amazing.  Dad first went to the Grand Ole Opry in 1948 with his parents.  It's a family tradition!  We enjoyed dinner before at our favorite Jack's BBQ!

At the front doors where you used to enter.  Dad waited in line down this sidewalk in college for tickets.



 

Tootsies Orchid Lounge where the Opry "stars" would hang out before and after the shows. You could walk out the stage door of the Ryman and across the alley to the back door of Tootsies.

Early before the show!

Harding Academy - 35th Reunion

We are super, We are great, We're the Class of '78!  My 35th High School Reunion from Harding Academy was in Searcy, AR last weekend.  What a blessing.  Classmates and friends for life - the difference maker is the bond of common Christian faith!  Heaven will be marvelous!
