I went to Nashville with the thought of buying myself a Christmas present, most likely a pair of cowboy boots. I mean that's what you get when you go to Nashville, right?

Sunday supper – Husk, Nashville
When the girls and I go away we each have a role to play - Mary Lynn does research on music and shows to attend, Lisa is in charge of outdoor activities and places to visit and I arrange dinner reservations for an indulgent meal out.

This is my last day of work until New Year’s Eve, a fact which I’m kind of excited about. When you factor in that I’ll be away with a couple of my best girlfriends exploring bourbon a new city, I get almost a little giddy. Good times are ahead and I’m ready for them! Last … Continue reading It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
