BLUEGRASS!

http://www.floydfest.com/

We have locals playing Bluegrass at the Rotary club every second Saturday.

Today is a cornhole toss at out local vol FD. I think it's akin to bean bag toss/ lawn darts.. Not really sure, but our butts will be finding our and picking up some BBQ in a couple hours!

I want BBQ and Bluegrass! Just had to order a case of Ollie's. Thank the Goddesses, it has continued to be manufactured and sold! A world without Ollie's BBQ sauce is no world at all!!!

hey everyone,
I was born in Louisiana and then lived in the north, Wisconsin to be exact. I couldn't get over the cold weather. Standing at the bus stop freezing my butt off because of the 40 below zero wind chill factor, oh and the snow too.

I was glad to have the opportunity to move back south. Ahh sun and beaches. Gotta love it.

I felt like this when I moved to Seattle back in February and became homesick for my family and friends in Florida. I came home to Florida two weeks after I moved.

Bless the gorgeous Florida East Coast beaches and the bright sunlight..

I never really think of Nashville as Dixie, I thought Dixie was Louisiana, but I looked it up and apparently all the South can be called Dixie.

Then I looked at Mid-South, (which is what we call Nashville) and Deep South. I looked at 10 different maps and each of them had a different idea of what the Deep South is.

I like the idea of a progressive South, far removed from the backward-ness of Civil War area, but the truth is, until the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority)was formed to provide affordable electricity, most of Tennessee was in darkness, well into the 50's and even later.

There are so many great examples here of government programs which worked really well. Most of them part of the New Deal (Depression and Dust bowl recovery). When people say the Federal Government should keep out of our lives, I want to point out what Tennessee would be now if not for the programs of the New Deal, instituted by a Democratic President FDR.

It's sad that corruption at the State Democratic level has led a state which until the 80's always voted Democrat, into a mostly (except for Nashville and Memphis) Republican state.
