I haven't been to see my folks since Xmas. I'll be going home to see them this weekend. Am having the hood of my car superficially repaired so that it'll close & open, latch again, not catch on-coming 70-mph wind under its new wrinkles.
Saturday morning I'll be going up with my mom, dad, and grandmother to
Uncle Dave Macon Days, a bluegrass festival south of Nashville. My brother will be driving over to meet us, hopefully, bringing Beth over with him from Nashville.
We went last year and I had a really good time, entered a mandolin raffle and evidently lost, bought sunglasses, ate a fried catfish dinner, watched in on the blacksmith shop, watched the fiddling competitions.
Most importantly, there was plenty of good beard. Everywhere.
