“The stars at night are big and bright… deep in the heart of Texas!” As an early anniversary gift to my husband, I bought two tickets to see Aaron Watson at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. The show was called “A Night of Texas at the Ryman.” The all of the acts are all from the great state of Texas, and it was great to see these Texans perform at the Mother Church.

October 6, 2017 No Comments

As much as I love the long days of summer, I also love the crisp, cool temperatures of Fall, kind of like the one we’re starting to have here in East Tennessee. And with the cooler temps comes sweaters, jackets, boots, and scarves, which I why I’ve been looking for some fashion inspiration to carry me into Fall. I own a dozen or so pashmina scarves in difference colors, and I’m really excited to also pull out my plaid ModCloth scarf.
