Wow, this was a great trip.
We went to a city outside Nashville to help out with a VBS for poor kids that lived in the neighborhood behind the church where we were. I had charge of the K-1st graders, only three to seven of them (four most nights). I loved 'em.
Here's one of them doing crafts:
She was Jasmine - a very pretty name. She was very shy at first, as you might expect, but she warmed up to us after a couple nights.
We also went on a few excursions:
....to the Carter House (which was in the thick of the bloddiest battle, by percentage, of the Civil War)...
....to Brentwood, TN to gawk at all the famous singers' houses...
....to a little place called Merridee's, where famous singers frequent (Michael W. Smith was there the time we went) and where I enjoyed taking many black-and-white photos...
....and to the Opry Mills Mall, where we were able to take a self-guided tour of the Aquarium Underwater Dining Adventure.
All these excursions took place because a couple work projects didn't pan out, unfortunately. Sigh.
I may tell more later. Right now, the library is closing!
