Darn! We Forgot to Pack Something!

Cousin Amy and I made it back home safe and sound earlier this afternoon but it appears that we forgot to pack the beautiful Tennessee weather with us as we returned home to dreary gray skies rather than the brilliant blue skies that we enjoyed in Nashville ... and after I told her to make sure we had everything, too!

Anyway, all weather aside, I wish that I had time to edit pictures and write posts to tell you all about  my mighty fine time in Middle Tennessee but alas, duty calls and it's back to work tomorrow for 16 hours in the dispatch center so I'm afraid that the posts are going to have to wait just a bit longer.

Before I forget, though, the answers to my questions the other day about the Tennessee State Capitol is that former President Andrew Jackson has the first equestrian statue and former President James Polk is buried on the Capitol grounds. Trust me, I'll fill in you a lot more as soon as I can!  In the meantime though, happy October no matter what color your skies may be!

Just a Quick 'Howdy!' From Tennessee!

I spent some time yesterday on a self-guided tour of the Tennessee State Capitol Building which is here in Nashville and I must say that the building was absolutely beautiful and the history was fascinating. Did you know that three of our Presidents have come from Tennessee? Yep! Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and James Polk!

One of them is buried on the grounds of the Capitol and another has the very first equestrian statue ever built in the United States which is pictured here with the Capitol Building as a backdrop. Want to take a guess on the answers? I'll check back later to see how you did!
