Week of In Laws



Well I am trying something different this week I am always perusing the inter-web looking for cool and new things to check out. So one day Mark Lee of Third Day posted this note saying that he uses this service posterous to make all his post to blogs, twitter and the likes. So I created and account and have just played with it a few times. So tonight I am writing this in my email. I know it doesn't make sense but it does cause all I have to do is open my email client which is simply called Mail for Mac. 

So this week the in laws were here and we all had a good time. Of course they had a little extra incentive to come down and his name is Bryson. They had a really good time with him. We let them watch him during the day while we were at work rather than take him to child care.

Monday , Nickie took the day off to hang with her folks and Bryson and I was able to scat out of work a little early and join the festivities. We just hung around the house and enjoyed  one another's company. 

Tuesday Nickie worked half a day and then we took Bryson to his six month check up. The Dr. said he was doing great. He weighed almost 16 lbs.... and is 27 in. tall. Then later in the evening Pops and I went to 3rd and linsley to hear the Players who absolutely rock. The Players are a group of the A team musicians in Nashville that you have heard a hundred times but didn't know. It's only in Nashville that you can hear these guys live. So we didn't get back in till midnight or better. Then on the way home Pops called Ronnie because he saw he missed a call while we were listening to the band. So when Ronnie answered hello the best he could being dead asleep. Pops said what are you doing? Ahhh sleeping. oh I figured you be up it's only 12:30 am , uh no its 1:30 am. Oops forgot the time change. Although in all reality it wouldn't surprise any of us if he was up. Total night owl.

So on to Wednesday. Nickie took that day off too to hang with her folks and was able to go shopping with her mom and have some time with her while pops hung out with Bryson.  Then I got home and found out that Mama and Pops wanted us to go out on a date while they watched Bryson of course. So we did. We wen to  Panera Bread and then Target and bought some things with a gift card we had. Then headed back to the home stead.

Thursday We both went to work all day but by the end I was able to catch up with a new acquaintance who is a drummer. He has played for numerous people and Peter Frampton was one of them. So I got to go to a rehearsal with this drummer and then headed home. 

Friday we ordered some dinner from Logans and just hung out. Then Saturday we just mosied around while they packed there bags. We headed up to IHOP to get some lunch. We then went back to house to chill for a little snooze. Then we said our much hated good bye's and saw the in-laws of to another time.

So all in all we had a good week. I will post some pics soon but till then happy blogging and being Posterous.

Catch up

Well, this is bad I know but I am doing this at church. (father forgive for I have sinned). lol I am sure he will give grace and forgiveness. I just needed to let all know I tried to do a video blog but youtube said I was to long winded. argh!!!. Anyway I still want to continue on about my Greensboror,NC trip. I also want to post a video on that to.

Last Sunday as you know Bryson was dedicated at church and the media team streamed it on the internet. So alot of family and friends were able to see it. So that was really cool. As far as the rest of the week it went by like a drag racing car. Whew!

Now it is Sunday and in T - 2 hours my inlaws will be in town for the week. McHammer comes to mind right now with We got to pray just to make it today, PRaAAAY.

!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>?

I really don't know what to title this. I am two weeks behind like the holidays and it's past my bed time. I corumba. It is complete overload on what has happened in the past two weeks so to keep things simple I am just going to mainly talk about our Greensboro , NC trip. I do have pictures of this trip but I have not had time to upload video of the trip. Plus I want to make a small video of the trip.
We had a blast on our short little trip to NC. The reason we went in the first place was because my good friends Charlie and Ruth Jones aka Peculiar People moved there last year and I haven't seen them since. So when they called me and said they needed help with some audio equipment and that know one in there current circle new what they (or at least that is what they told me to boost my ego) were doing I jumped at the chance. Now, the history on Peculiar People is that 5 years ago I called a buddy of mine to see if I could come hang out and check Nashville out.He had moved to Nashville the year before and got a job managing this group called Peculiar People. So when I called he said I got a job for you. So for two Christmas's I went out on the road with this group doing audio and driving . It was one of the best experiences of my life. So when they called and said help I jumped at the chance. See not only are Charlie and Ruth one of the best Evangelical Theatrical groups out there they know how to cook and serve. Charlie is an amazing cook and Ruth serves it up and cleans it up. Together they make you feel like you are at a Five star restaurant.

When Charlie and Ruth were in the Nashville vicinity they hosted what they called Supper Club. I miss them and it dearly. It was a time to always meet new people. I even got to know Buddy Greene who plays a mean guitar, harmonica and wrote the music to Mary Did You Know. Ya so every time I hear that song I see Buddies smile getting bigger. Anyway back to Supper Club. It was just an amazing time. So when I first started going I was all alone and thought I was having a hard time. Then Charlie would get on his throne he called it(no not his toilet) and interview someone. He always said he never interview the new people but he always did because who knows when they would come back. Alot of them didn't but alot of them did. So when Charlie would get on his throne and interview people they would just seem to open up even though Charlie and Ruth were the only ones they knew and sometimes Charlie was the only one they new because they met him in the checkout line that afternoon when Charlie was getting supplies for dinner. Then after his interview I always felt a hundred times better and like I just worshipped God and all I did was listen to someone Else's story. It was always an amazing time and I miss it. I am extremely jealous of the people in Greensboro, NC. 

I remember the first time I got to take Nickie to Supper Club. We got in the car after dinner and she said what I said earlier and that she just worshipped God. When I was in NC I asked Charlie the question I would always ask him after the Supper Club and that was when you going to write a book. The stories and meals that we had were irreplaceable. This time I said you need to email all the TN people and ask them to email there favorite stories and foods from Supper Club and do the same for the NC folks. I hope he thinks about it seriously. I am forever grateful for Charlie , Ruth, their dogs  and the Supper Club folks for making my life better. Also after dinner we would listen to folks like Buddy Greene play a song or other song writers because this is music city. Then others would read poetry or a paragraph from a book they read.

Well this is really getting long winded so I am going to have make a part two to this just to cover all the basis. So till the next blog.
