Monday's Memory: the one where a relative actually comes to nashville!

for whatever reason, i normally end up visiting my family in their place of residence

instead of them coming here

this is for a two-fold reason

i love to travel, first of all

and their lives seem infinitely busy

(my parents have the 3rd reason of me not necessarily wanting them to make the drive more than necessary)

but once in awhile

someone actually comes here

and i love it :0)

way back in 2006, my brother's ex wife

who will always and forever be my sister in law

(my family)

called me to tell me that she was bringing a group of students to nashville

for a convention

at the time i lived right between the hotel they were staying in

and the hotel they were conventioning in

so it just made sense

that i take off work a couple of days

and play tour guide

and just hang out

it was a great time

and yes, in the picture above we are standing in a graveyard

an old, historic and cool one

(her kids had quite a fascination...they made us pull over for pictures and exploration)

her divorce was only a few months old

and i was grateful

to be able to spend some extra time with her

perhaps i should let my family come here more often :-)
