Birthday Weekend

My birthday was on a Thursday this year.  We were in Nashville, TN.  Bob got me a Paragon Quikfire Kiln, so that I could continue making glass fusion jewelry, while on the road. Now I have all the tools I need to have a good time.  Bob worried for several years, that I didn't have a hobby.  Well now I do and he is very encouraging and supportive.




The top picture is a few of the pieces I did after firing.  The lower picture is before the firing. Each firing brings a new surprise.

We went to see the American Pickers store in Nashville, Antique Archaeology.


The store was in the old Marathon Automobiles Company.



Some of the things we saw, but didn't buy.



Everything cost more than we had, excepts the T-shirts.  Bob thinks that is what they mostly sell.


Then we went to the San Antonio Taco Company for lunch.  Another good restaurant selection by Craig. Yes, we were still in Nashville.



Of course we had to have cake. So we went to Gigi's for cupcakes.


Friday we went to Nashville's Largest Flea Market.


It was different than the ones we were used to in Mission and California.  Less new items and more old and antique items. I wanted to buy this guitar but Bob said no.  It was my favorite color.


That night we had tickets for the Grand Ole Opry.  It was great!!!
Riders in the Sky performed.


        As did Vince Gill.


Plus many more. One of my favorites was a young Christian Contemporary Musician Andrew Peterson.

To top the weekend off, Monday morning we went to the Pancake Pantry across from Vanderbilt for breakfast.  We thought Monday wouldn't be as busy as Sunday.  Wrong, we had an hour wait. It was good but I'm not so sure it was worth an hour.  Thankfully, Bob had his IPhone or he never would have waited.


It was a wonderful birthday weekend.  Thank you everyone for the greetings on Facebook and the many cards from all over the country.
