I finally figured out all this mess about trying to figure out where all the picnic posts were and fixed my password.<br /><br />Chris and Sarah-Thank you so much for inviting us to your beautiful home! It was an awesome time. The BBQ was wonderful and so was the ice cream. Getting to hear Chris play and sing "Empty Me" was like gold-I wish my parents had been there to hear it. I was in awe.<br />It was cool to meet everyone else-some of your band members,friends and your mother.<br /><br />To the blogger girls-Words cannot express how wonderful a time I had with all of you. Meeting you has been one of the best things to happen to me. My life will always be richer for the time I got to spend with you in Nashvegas! I look forward to the next time we get to see each other and hope it will be before next summer. After Risa left on Sun. it rained all day so we really couldn't go anywhere. My mom said on Sunday night I talked and yelled in my sleep-she said I was mad. After everyone left it was very quiet and I was really sad. We went to an Elvis impersonator show Mon. night that was pretty good. Tues. was a long day-waiting to go to the airport,watching parts of Micheal Jackson's memorial. I was dead tired when we got home at eight that night.<br /><br />To those who weren't able to make it to the picnic-I hope I get to meet you next year, we all missed you.<br /><br />I love and miss everyone already!<br />P.S.-Chris-Thanks for letting me feel your curls (touch the fro). You have such fun hair!<br /><br />AmyAmy's Purple Poodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600225714012700362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-68095414760480503382009-07-10T09:02:48.681-05:002009-07-10T09:02:48.681-05:00Oh, so wrong!!!

It was a huge storm, golf ball sized hail that was coming down so hard and fast we had a difficult time getting the garage door to shut because the hail was setting off the safety sensor.<br /><br />Oh, Lori, you are so right, I boo-hooed through the whole thing, but seeing his daughter, that was hard. I cried for his lost childhood--it seemed he spent his life trying to regain it. I hope the media will leave his children alone and maybe they can have a bit of a normal childhood that has been denied to them, as well.<br /><br />We missed everyone that couldn't make it this time...you, Clearsa, Randy, our family members who couldn't make it....hopefully we can all see each other the next time, if not before.risaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754939096270758631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-76019313070697285822009-07-07T14:45:15.545-05:002009-07-07T14:45:15.545-05:00Thank you for your sweet thoughts Clearsa and Cath...Thank you for your sweet thoughts Clearsa and Cathy.

I passed out forever once I made it back to the hotel. It took us about an hour to get back, too. It was great to see everyone again. I apologize if I seemed a little "off" we were sooo tired. My sister slept about 2 hours before the picnic after driving. I was going to nap but didn't bother haha.<br /><br />Chris and Sarah, thank you so much for letting us into your home.

On the first day, Harry and I spent some time at the Nashville Zoo before picking up Cathy at the airport. That first night we all went to the Loveless Café for some good southern food. <br /><br />The second day, the girls (and Chris M.) spent some time food shopping for the picnic and mixer. Then Harry and I went to a botanical garden and spent time relaxing by the pool. At night we had the mixer, where we made a new, special friend who’s a Scorpio, just like me. It was also nice talking with Brenda, Robyn and Amy. Risa – thanks for the lotion, and Carmen – thanks for the chocolate – it was very good. DJ – take my husband – please (just kidding). Cathy – it was great seeing you again. The trophies were very well done.<br /><br />The third day was picnic day at Chris’s house, in which one could easily entertain a few dozen people. The house was beautiful. I especially liked the birdfeeders on the deck in the backyard and his studio upstairs. Tucker, the Jack Russell terrier and LG, the dachshund were in attendance, as was his cat and newborn kittens. It was nice seeing Tommy (Chris’s bass player), Clint (Chris’s guitar player), wife and 2 month old baby, Andrew (Rough Draft), and Mitch (Chris’s manager). Carrie drove through the night to make the picnic. Famous Dave’s BBQ was great as usual, as were the variety of store-bought and homemade desserts. The “picnic” seemed more like a friend/family gathering than a fan event. At one point, Chris played “Empty Me” on guitar for us. <br /><br />On the fourth day, we went to a large mall and then to downtown Nashville for some Mexican food. The weather was sunny and in the eighties the whole time, except for the last night, when it poured. GDA, you would not have liked the plane rides. Incoming, the pilot had to abort his landing and circle Nashville until a plane on the ground had cleared the runway. Going home, it felt very choppy. However, all in all, it was a great trip!rosaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008139855126202575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-84655540522505195452009-07-06T19:21:13.271-05:002009-07-06T19:21:13.271-05:00Of course you were missed Lori.
