This past weekend the opportunity presented itself since we were shooting a wedding in north Alabama. So rather than come home afterwards we continued north to the Music City. We got into town late Saturday night. They are remodeling their house so we got a quick tour and an updates on all the projects. They are doing all the work themselves and it is looking great. They are in the middle of getting all the hardwood floors down. Most of the house has been repainted and they are updating the bathrooms. Lots of other little projects are also going on as well. Wish we lived closer so I could help out some. The one project I did get to help out with was putting in their new mailbox. We dug the hole, got it set, and filled it in with concrete. It was still standing the next day.
On Monday we went to Chick-fil-a and treated them to lunch with out coupons. We then fulfilled my one request for the trip and that was to stop by Financial Peace Plaza and see Dave Ramsey. He was in studio that day. Its a neat building with a big window to watch him do his show. There is also a bookstore/cafe that has free food. During one of the commercial breaks he came out into the lobby and shook hands with everyone who wanted. I tried to contain my giddiness.
That afternoon we went hiking in the woods behind their house. It is a nature preserve, so it should always stay woods behind them. We found a good vine and cut it so we could swing on it. It was on the side of a hill so just a little swing and you got pretty high off the ground. It was a ton of fun and brought back some memories of woods behind of the Sycamore House.
It was a great visit and hope we can have more of them.
