Hockey Pro Andy

We went to see Andy play hockey today in his tournament. I was impressed with his and the team's playing skills. I can't imagine trying to skate, hit other people, and keep up with that puck. Good job, Andy!

After his game, we followed Dierks Bentley to his house to pick up some free Preds tickets that he gave Andy. The seats were given to Dierks by head coach Barry Trotz - they were really nice seats. The Preds won and we had a blast all day!

Thoughful Tim

We had lunch in the park today to enjoy the warm Spring weather. Tim was in a delightful mood and was toying with the camera. I think this should be his new Facebook profile picture! He's demure, sensitive, thoughtful, and only slightly retarded.

Yellow Tulip Magnolia

I don't think I've seen a yellow tulip magnolia before. I've seen the pinky/purple ones, but these yellow ones were especailly lovely. They are lining the entrance to Columbia State, and I saw them when I went over to play tennis. Very nice!

If We Ever Build a House

If we were to ever build a house, this would likely be it. I love that it's classic, it's Southern, it's nicely sized. I could be happy living in that house - on a few acres, in the country with lots of privacy. I don't think we'll pick out the new wall colors just yet!

Spring is on the Way

Spring is nearly here! The flowering quince, daffodils, tulips, and other early bloomers are out in full force. The Bradford pears, cherries, and crabapple trees have been beautiful this year, too. I'm getting gardening fever!

Fishin' & 4-Wheelin'

I went to Corey's dad's place in Williamsport today to ride 4 wheelers. I had a blast - haven't ridden in years!! It was Corey, Justin, Eli, and me. Corey somehow came into ownership of two 4 wheelers so we took turns riding around the hill and field. Eli spent some time fishing, but I'm not so sure there was anything in that pond to catch. It was an afternoon of big fun!

At the Garden Show & Zoo

I took the day off from work to go to the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show and the Nashville Zoo - I was in the mood for some photography. I went to Drury's first to rent a couple of lenses, but they were out of the ones I wanted, so no luck there. The garden show was nice, but quite similar to every year previous. I did get a great lawn ornament, beaded fountainy looking thingy. Nice find!

After the garden show, I headed over to the zoo. It was an overcast, but bright day so the light was nice for pictures. Several of the "big" attractions weren't out, but overall it was nice. I need to take more time to work on my photography - it's very therapeutic for me!
