Nashville

I have been trying to post a few pictures with this post, but I must be doing something wrong. So words will have to do for now.

We arived in Nashville Saturday afternoon, too late and too tired to do much of anything. This hotel has 2881 rooms divided into sections by enclosed atriums filled with exoctic plants, orchids, waterfalls, fountains, and streams. No matter where you had to be it was the furthest from our room.

Sunday morning there were LDS services with Elder Dahlquist presiding and speaking. They had young men from the locale stake bless and pass the sacrament. There were more than 500 in attendance. That was quite a treat.

Dad went to the afternoon opening meeting and we both went to the opening dinner. The entertainment was a young up and coming country and western singer. While we waited for the doors to open we saw Garth Brooks talking to people in the crowds. We aren't really into C&W so didn't talk to him.

On Monday Dad had meetings all day, so I rented a car and drove to Paducah KY to see the Quilt museum. These quilts are grand prize winners from the last 10 year. Most of them are considered art quilts. There was a double wedding ring quilt that was about the size of a piece of paper. It almost makes me want to stop quilting. (Aaron said he likes my quilts cause they are useable).

Tuesday was more classes for Dad and a spouse's brunch for me. The speaker wrote the birth order book and was quite funny. That night closed with another banquet.

Wednesday morning we had to get up at 3:30 (2:30 here) to catch the shuttle to the airport and then home.
