That’s Not Something…

I had ice cream for dinner the other night. Life’s too short, right? Then, I had ice cream for dinner again last night. Wait a minute. Ice cream for dinner two nights in one week? This could be a problem. To make matters worse, I had fish and chips (baked potato) three times during this […]

I finally, finally got around to accomplishing the one and only thing I had on my list of things to do in Nashville—besides recording a song and making a little music video, of course—take a picture in front of The Bluebird Café. The only thing I knew about this place was that it featured in […]

Waiting for the carillon (which is a “set of fixed chromatically tuned bells sounded by hammers controlled from a keyboard,” according to Merriam-Webster) to go off in 2 minutes. What can I say? We are easily entertained.

Just finished a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame. And yes, I spent the whole time looking for Keith Urban’s section. Duh.

A bubbly woman at the front desk here at our condo one mile from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, just called and asked if I wanted to discuss our timeshare points.

We are admiring the 50,000 plants here at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, taking way too many bad selfies—no hair and makeup this morning (me, not […]

I just got my first fan gift—$20 in my Venmo account—with a note saying, “A special dessert for your special trip.” Methinks there is a Häagen-Dazs in my near future. We know how I feel about that delicious stuff. Tomorrow morning at 8:30, the (Grammy award-winning) violinist is meeting us at the recording studio. Tomorrow afternoon, the vocalist […]

Recorded my song “I Am Broken” today in Nashville, Tennessee, and I am beside myself with joy. What a surreal day. I’m not sure l can return to normal life. And, I only cried twice.

My husband and I are on our way to the recording studio to record “I Am Broken,” but first, a little stop at the Grand Ole Opry (which happens to be one mile from our condo).

I am leaving for Nashville in two days to have my song recorded and a music video made. I’m typing the words, but I can hardly believe them. Several weeks ago, my husband and I were talking about the whole experience to come: Me: “You realize that once this is all said and done, I might only […]
