Oct 8th, Monday: Roger has been quite the motor-guy for the past three days. We left Kansas, stopped off for the night at the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri to visit friends and made it to Nashville last night.
Roger's friends were people he knew from work and who have retired to a beautiful home on Lake of the Ozarks. But here were are in the middle of paradise listening to that North Dakota accent as they all were from Grand Forks, North Dakota (Roger's home town). Now Gretchen is really mixed up on the time, the day, and the state she is in!!! By the way, there are 40,000 docks here!
If you haven't been to Nashville, let us tell you that it is a hoot. We went downtown last night and hit 7 bars - all with good, live country music. And that seven is only the beginning of the entertainment on Broadway. It is safe and clean and FUN. Tonight we go to the Opry.
