National Quartet Convention 2011 Part 1 (Thursday)

This year, Carl and I went down to NQC for two days, Thursday and Friday. The first thing we attended was the Gaither Vocal Band Reunion on Thursday afternoon. It was really good. I was a little disappointed that Guy Penrod was not there, but the concert was very good.




After the GVB Reunion, we left to go check in at our hotel, which was the same one we stayed at last year, Holiday Inn by the Louisville Airport. It is a newer hotel and is really nice. It is also right of the interstate, and easy to get to. After we checked in and changed clothes, we went back to Freedom Hall for the evening concert. We watched part of the concert, and then went out to the Exhibit Hall to walk around a bit. We talked a bit with Ronnie and Michael Booth. They are such super sweet guys.

I got to meet Steve Green as well.


Some of the highlights of Thursday's night concert were:
Collingsworth Family - Fear Not Tomorrow and Tell The Mountain
The Isaacs - I'm Going to Love You Through It
(This was written in honor of Lily Isaacs battle with cancer. They group had cancer survivors come up on stage with them. Touching moment.)
Legacy Five - I've Been Changed.
(Glenn Dustin sounds better each time I hear him sing this song.)
The Booth Brothers - Then I Met The Master
(Love the smooth sound of The Booth Brothers.)

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
