  • Filling my brain and body with good things today at one of my fav coffee shops in Nashville, Sam and Zoey’s in the Berry Hill neighborhood. I love “Mom & Pop” shops best. This one offers a beautiful little healthy menu (lots of gluten and dairy free options) and happens to be down the street from where we live. If only I could walk here! Happy Friyay!
  • What gets you out of bed?
  • What a night with Naked Blue, dear brilliant, soulful and mega talented friends I haven’t seen or heard live in too long! And new friend Lee Child, gifted writer of the Jack Reacher thriller series. Yeah, the conversation was thrilling, too! I’m still thinking about his kind and earnest advice. If this Jack Reacher tour hits your city, you MUST check it out! Jen and Scott Smith of Naked Blue (and long time fan readers of Lee) collaborated on a music project with Lee Child (long time fan of Naked Blue). The result is “Just the Clothes On My Back,” an earful of songs about or from Reacher’s POV. It’s brilliant and a perfect companion to the series. You will hear more from this collaboration in the future! Lee introduces most of the songs with Jen on throaty vocals and Scott styling on electric guitar. Not a single moment of distraction from Lee’s character, Jack Reacher. Super cool idea! What struck me was Lee’s humility, humor, and warmth. To listen to a writing talent gush a little about your friends, that does my heart good. #nakedblue #jackreacher #leechild #justtheclothesonmyback
  • Last morning with these little cutie pies at the famous Noshville Delicatessen for breakfast. Love this place for the nostalgia, mid-century decor, and yummy endless diner coffee. Put this on your Nashville Bucket List if you like authentic diners. Mom and Dad approved!!
  • A little Dukes of Hazard while chauffeuring my parents around the rolling “horse country” Tennessee hills. Then a wander through Franklin and Leiper’s Fork. So happy for a little sunshine and time with Barb and Bill today!!
  • Cow licks on a perfect Spring afternoon. Never gets old! Oh, and the fragrance of home...er, manure. Love it! 😆
  • Sometimes you just stand in the river and talk it out.
  • Coyote sighting! Don’t you just get a thrill watching wildlife?? He was looking for some yum-yum at the pond. The geese were no where to be found this morn. Correction: most likely a young wolf because of its dark color. 😲
