Nashville Nights
Well the sisters made it to Nashville. It was awesome. And I took Flat Stanley with me. Five women and Flat Stanley was quite a party. It was really great being with the Allen girls. We haven't done it for five or six years, and it was needed. Jeanie chose Nashville, I think she thought Barbara mandrel was going be to walking the streets and be one of us girls. Or Dolly would be hanging out at the Hotel. Neither one happened, but I think Jeanie was okay. I certainly was okay, cause I had a blast. My sissies are so much fun.
When I got back home , I pondered about the the dynamics of five ladies getting along. Hello, we were brought up to go with go with the flow, so this trip was so easy.
Although, I am a little if you pay, you need to get what you want ... so we did changed Hotels, sort of because I'm a Be-Autch. But, whatever it worked. And Jeanie was so happy to be anywhere with US. So she silently followed. She really really liked the new room though, I think for fear that I would make everyone move AGAIN!
Our first night was nothing scheduled, we found a good restaurant. The next day was the Outlet Mall. I think the only ones that really appreciated that were Janet and I. Judy always buys ,no matter where, Jo hates to shop, lost on her. Jeanie wanted autographs, not happening there.
Went to Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Pretty cool. Very exotic with the gardens and buildings. We toured the area, took all day, not that bigga deal. Glad we did it. Found a cute Irish Pub. Jo and I really liked that, got our pictures taken. Flat Stanley did too. Don't think Mackenzie will get that one. Maybe Uncle Jerry will.
Went to Grand Ole Opry. Jeanie was thrilled . We had great seats. I thought Jeanie's hands were gonna fall off her body , she clapped so loud.I don't think there was anyone really earth shattering but she liked Laurie Morgan, pretty girl. Jeanie knew her that's all that counted.Porter Wagoner was there. The guys that played in Toy Story.I think we all enjoyed it. Jeanie thought that she was going to get autograghs and that would have been very nice. Remind me to send a scathing letter for the promoters to do that next time. She held her little book all night. In the middle of the show, I said Jeanie, Isn't this good? She said I don't have one autograph yet. God love her. She wasn't gonna either.
The gift shop was a big hit for her, though. She got the CD that was the Laurie girl that sang, and a T-shirt, and I got A magnet, and Shot glass. Had to get it couldn't stop myself. Little Jeanie was still waiting for autograghs.Didn't happen.
Next day, Willie Nelson's wax museum. Jeanie LOVED IT!Pictures with the General Lee. You know, the Dukes of Hazard car. Also in the front of the building were sidewalks imprinted with hands and feet and signatures of the stars. Jeanie took lots of pictures there. Loretta Lynn was the biggest name there.
Riverboat Cruise....Awesome.
It was the best ever. I don't know if the other peopple get it, but we did. It was so good. The theme was Broadway. IT WAS NOT! It was New York. And it was Motown, Tony Bennet, Frank ...Our table loved it.We were so freakin tired of Yippi-I-O-Ki-A The other folks....were like Jeanie they were there for Country. JoEllen, Judy, Janet and I got a great show, and we loved it.
And people you are not going to believe this, but there was a gal (listen to me gal)at our table that was from Youngstown! Shut-up!For real life. It was absolutely random. We were placed at her table cause ours was full.So we got moved to the middle of the room, closer to the stage. She was part of the production company in Youngstown, Easy Street. I knew about it cause I have a highschool friend who is in the theater there, Maureen Collins. We laughed so hard. Anywho the meal was great the scenery was beauteous, going down the River , it was a gorgeous night. Of course we got our picture taken with the cute show guys. Jeanie and I decided the one guy reminded us of Jake.(Jake is cuter of course)
Our trip home was sad but fun. And I for one did not want it to end. As we got closer and closer to Jasper my heart just got sadder and sadder.
So you just have to look at the wonderful time together, and not be sad. How many ladies have sisters that they can spend time with as adults? How many people have four sisters? We laughed, we talked about our hubbies , we talked about our kids,and grandkids. We talked about our parents. It was a freaking therapy session. We all are so different, but we all have so many similarities.I know it was harder for some of us to do this trip than others, but we all so needed it. I hope we can do it again really soon.
