Well, what a day this has been!!! Got Buttercup prepared for a night without us. Dennis also took the motorcycle across the street to a nearby cycle shop for a tune up and a new tire. We hopped in the car and left Red Bay around 10:30 heading for Nashville!!!! Grand Ole Opry here we come!!!
Took the "Briley Parkway" in honor of our neighbor's - Tom & Peggy :))
Got to Nashville around 2:30. Found a room at the Fiddler's Inn near the Opry House.
Rested a bit until it was time for dinner. Went to a place called John A's right by the hotel.
Then headed over to find a good parking place. Even though we had been there before, it was still exciting!! Saw "Minnie Pearl" and "Hank Williams, Sr." out front before we went in.
Picked up our tickets at "Will Call" and went to find our seats.
Don't know how, but we lucked out having seats right on the end of the row on the main floor, not far from the stage!!
As you may or may not know, the Grand Ole Opry is actually a live radio show. WSM 650 AM. Commercials and everything. You can even tune into it on your computer. It was awesome!!
Loretta Lynn, Patty Loveless, Vince Gill, Pure Prairie League and a bunch of others!!! I was able to go down front a lot to take some pictures. Thought I would die when I heard Loretta since "Coal Miner's Daughter". Dressed in all white, she looked like a princess!! They all did a great job and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. Even got to see Clare Bowen sing several songs. She plays Scarlett on the show "Nashville". Vince Gill sang with most of them. What a voice he has!! Then they recognized Patty Loveless' 25th anniversary of being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
What a great show - one we'll never forget!!!! I'm still on cloud 9 thinking about it.
Well, back to the hotel and back to"Red Bay Jail" tomorrow.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's!
Happy Birthday to Chad!
Dennis received his Fathers Day call from Chad, Scott, and Kevin wishing him a Happy Fathers Day.
Back on the road to Red Bay after a great night at the Grand Ole Opry. Stopped at WMAC for an egg muffin and then hit the road. ( That would be a McDonald's fixed up like a radio station :)).
Once we arrived in Red Bay had a little lunch and then Dennis washed the car. He waited until the sun went down and then washed and waxed the roof top of Buttercup. While he was up there he discovered the paint was chipping on the driver side where they had painted in March. Oh well, guess that will be redone and covered by Tiffin..
Dennis' shoulder is hurting tonight , so it was Advil , spaghetti dinner and in the bed by 9:00.
Sorry - no pictures today!!

Well, no pictures again today!!
Dennis was up early washing Buttercup and waxing one side. Just as he finished we got a call from Tiffin to head to Service Bay #8. Yeah!!!!! Had to do a quick pack up and off we went. Was a footlong from Subway for lunch. Fortunately, they were able to take care of most everything in about 3 hours. Still have several other items to take care of. Probably another day or two wait. So it was back to our campsite and Dennis proceeded to wax Buttercup's other side. She was sure looking good!! I then got to thinking what we were going to have for dinner, so I hopped in the car and went to Big Star. Got some pork chops to grill. About that time, the skies opened up so no eating outside tonight. Then it was our usual routine of TV and early to bed.
Night, night
