On a bright note, Tony and I did get out yesterday for just a little bit - he took me to the mall, and surprised me with some diamond stud earrings for Valentine's day! Isn't he a sweetie! I had some tiny little "dots" of diamond studs way back when we were first married, but he wanted me to go and pick some nice-sized ones out! So I did! I didn't know if we really needed to spend the money on something so frivolous right now, but he insisted. I've been wantin' some for quite awhile, but you know there's always something that is way more important than frivolity. He's so good to me ~ sometimes I don't think I deserve him. He's always doing nice things for me - even when I'm being a pill. So I had a VERY nice Valentine's Day!
My oldest son, Adam, sent me some pictures from last week in Nashville. He is a song-writer as well as a musician. Back in the fall, he and a couple of other writers wrote this song called "The Gospel According to Jones". (George Jones - don't worry, it sounds sacreligious, but it's all about country music)(hey, they don't ask me what I think of their song titles...). Adam has his own band, and he also plays in a band with Eric Lee Beddingfield. ELB is an up and coming band and Adam plays lead guitar and sings vocals.
Well, there is a part at the end of the song where they invited George Jones, old "Possum" himself, to come record with them. Well, HE DID IT! He met with them in the recording studio last Monday, I think, and did the recording! Adam was so excited as were all the band members. They got to meet and greet George and his lovely wife. He said they were just very nice regular folks like you'd run into anywhere.
Adam sent me a few pictures that they took of the ELB band and George and I thought Id like to share them with you...can you guess which one is Adam?
Adam is third from the left. This is the Eric Lee Beddingfield band. Eric is the big guy in the middle. Good looking group if I do say so myself. A couple more shots of Adam being Adam - he's always a clown and always cuttin' up, but he's always fun to be around...
There's no telling what he was saying or doing to Eric - just no telling. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when they are in the studio. I'm sure its a hoot!
Well, I've been able to do a little visitin' around today. I'm trying to get around to everybody. It's been nice to have some time to do that. I have to go to work tomorrow, cold or no cold. I do not have a back-up. At least I work in an office by myself so I can keep away from other people. I'll take my arsenal of medicines and my bucket with me, and hopefully, in a few days I'll be feeling better. I hope you all have a great week, no snow, and remember to keep your dress down!
