Abigail Loves Papa and Memomma





It doesn't get any better than this! Papa is loving it! Amy and Josh did a little canoeing while Papa and Memomma stayed on shore with our the sweetest little camper there ever was.






We stayed at a travel resort campground for the last few days we were in North Carolina. Josh and Amy and Abigail were able to come out on Saturday for a little fun. It seems there is just never enough time to be together. But we tried to make the most of it knowing that our visit was coming to a close.

Opryland



On our way east this spring we stopped in Nashville and spent a couple of days sightseeing. A guided tour of Nashville and a visit to The Country Music Hall of Fame was most memorable. We both love country music and thoroughly enjoyed visiting all the historic places where famous country artists and some rock 'n roll artists got their start. Yes, even Elvis was there.

We went to the Grand Ol' Opry Saturday night. It was a dream come true for Karen. She has dreamed of going since she was a little girl. It was a great show with lots of well known country artists performing with Carrie Underwood being the featured star of the evening. It was just a week later that she was honored as the female vocalist of the year at the Annual Country Music Awards for the very songs we watched her perform on stage in Nashville. It was an experience of a lifetime.



Unfortunately, our visit to North Carolina is coming to a close. We hope to be back in the Fall. We have obligations in Georgia once again this month for a couple of weeks and then in Rockport, Texas before returning to Lubbock.

Grandgirl Abigail likes to wear her Papa's hat!
