Yesterday, we booked our next two Tennessee stops, post-Nashville. This begins our trek eastward prior to our eventual return to the northeast in mid-May. With a little help from my friend, Bob, we opted to stay in the countryside so that we could enjoy the best eastern Tennessee has to offer. Both of these are …
Yesterday we drove into downtown Nashville because we wanted to visit the National Museum of African American Music. Our good friend, Bill G., said it was a “can’t miss” part of his Nashville experience. And he was right! The visit begins with a film called “Roots,” a brief history of black music beginning with the …
“Part of my character is made up of an obsession to push something to the limit. It can be of great use if my obsession is channeled into constructive thought or creativity, but it can also be mentally or physically or spiritually destructive. I think what happens to an artist is, when he feels the …
Our friend, Tony, lives in a town not too far from Nashville. His place has lots of room for him, his music studio, and all of the comforts of a suburban home. It’s a peaceful place with warm, autumnal colors very similar to the palette that Beth and I used for our house in Yorktown. …
Beth & Scott’s Adventure has landed outside of Nashville in a town called Goodlettsville. We’ve reserved a spot here at a huge RV park called The Grand ‘Ol RV Resort. There are at least 150 RVs of every shape and size from all over the country – plenty of full-timers, a few families, and a …
While we were in Sevier County, Tennessee, I borrowed a book from the RV office about the history of this area nestled in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. I’m not a big fan of history books or museums, but something drew me to this little green book when I saw it on the coffee …
Today was a great day for me (and I think for us), though it didn’t start out that way. I really dug myself into a nice hole! Bradley started whining around 2am because he needed to go outside. This isn’t atypical, but he wanted to go out again at 5am which meant that Scotty’s sleep …
One of the scariest aspects of being a roving citizen of the USA are what I think of as “householder duties”, things like health insurance, keeping track of finances, and mail. Oh, there’s so much mail! I also worried that some of the things I needed to do for my work would be harder on …
Today was tough! The plan was to head out after teaching my two, morning yoga classes. Simple enough. We’d been prepping and packing the past few days, and while there was still more to clean and carry to the camper, we were in good shape; a little tired from a final night out with friends …
When Scott and I were clearing out our house in preparation for this big move, I spent a good deal of time going through the books in our bookcases. It was a hard decision to say goodbye to all but a few of the books that had been healers, teachers and treasured friends at different …
