U.S. Border Cantina

This is our new Girl's Night Out hangout. It doesn't look like much (inside or out), but the food is good, the drinks are better ($3.50 margaritas!) and no crowd or loud noise to speak of (unless you count us....we can get a little rowdy :) ) Tucked just off of West End behind Discount Liquors....centrally located since all us girls are spread out around the city.

The Adirondack Chair

We had an unusually warm weekend here and, though I love my winter and snow, I wasn't going to stay inside and not enjoy a little sunshine (and some Mello Yello. and some knitting)

Jersey Mike's

I love me some Jersey Mike's! Their bread is really good and they slice the meat and cheese right there. And if you order a veggie sandwich (I never would, but, you know....), they even ask you if you want the slicer completely cleaned off. So nice to the vegetarians!

Hula Hoopers at Shelby Park

Jackpot! I went to the park and hula hoop walkers were there. These photos don't even show the full group....I bet there are at least 30 of them. And they are training for the Music City Half Marathon. I can't hula hoop standing still....I can't imagine doing it while walking. You go, girls!

Berry Hill Animal Hospital 

Josey's favorite place! I really like the staff here at Berry Hill Animal Hospital. They don't take it personally that Josey growls at them when they're examining her and they don't mind the thousand questions I usually throw at them. I just wish they didn't have to take so much of my money :)

Nashville doesn't get much snow. We are in a "valley" and almost everything goes around us (if you live "on the plateau" you see white stuff all winter) . It can be very frustrating for us snow lovers because it is often forecast, but then falls apart at the last minute. We had a huge snow dump in 2003 and only a minor accumulation here or there since. Until Friday.

They started talking about this storm on Monday. They were very cautious at first about whether this would happen or not. By Wednesday, there was no question (and that NEVER happens). It was only a question of when and how much. It started about 9AM on Friday and I ended up with about 4" at my house. Let's hope we don't have to wait 7 years to see this again!

 

We can't say this very often...indeed....

About 9AM. I'm at work. Don't ask.....

Finally home. This was shortly after 10:00

At my favorite Shelby Park

The poor birds! They flew south for this? I fed them bread and cereal and anything else I could find...

Feeding the birds was also very entertaining to Josey

My car on Saturday morning

Why, yes, that is the sign for a psych hospital. This is actually where I go for my almost-weekly therapy sessions on Tuesdays. I've been going for about a year now and am pretty happy with the results. And, really, everyone could use therapy :)
