First Nashville Celebrity Meet

My first-Nasvhille celebrity-meet was

last night at The Gondola House.

No, I didn't see Lady A.
Just the mom!

Yelp.  

It was country come to town,

better yet, 

rural redneck GA 

come to Music City, USA.

A beautiful lady sits in the booth next to me.

Just a Kiss

We're all crazy with the grandkids

having a big ole time.

The little one is pulling the pizza pan and the 

table cloth off the table, 

the middle one is running from table to table, 

the oldest one is entertaining Grandy
and Grandy is being a real goof ball.

When this gorgeous lady says to

my daughter in law. 

"Don't I know you?"

"Yes, I'm Christina.  How's Hillary?"

I'm like, whoooooa, just a minute.

Hillary?

I remembered that Christina graduated
from Donalson Christian Academy
with Hillary Scott,
THE Hilliary Scott

with Lady Antebellum.

So, I'm in this conversation
BIG TIME.

"Are you Linda Davis

and your daughter is ahhhh, ahhhhh,?"

sputter sputter, stutter, stutter.

I Run To You

Hand extended, "Yes Hillary, I am Linda, and you are?"

sputter, sputter, stutter, stutter

All the time, my son is kicking me under the table 

and whispering in my ear, 

"Shut up, Mama."

No sirree, I will not be silenced.

"I'm Bonnie Dave Haywood is my second cousin
His dad is my first cousinYou sang with my cousin 

in Augusta, GA at the church ladies retreatHer dad

and I are/were best friends growing upUhhhh he married 

my best friend."
(yes, just like that.no slowingdown.no period.no breath.)

"Oh they are a great family," as gracious as she could be.

"Yes, we have a great family."
(What did I just say?)

"Did you say family?  Are you in the Haywood family?"
Linda Davis asks.

"Yes, first cousins."

"Oh, I thought you said you were best friends."

"No mam, I mean yes, mam, Dave's dad and I are first cousins."

All the time, my son is kicking me. 

"Hush!"

Yes, I think I made a fool of myself 

and the family.

Sorry, family.

This is what you call country-come-to-town.

Yelp, Dave, the guitar guy?

That's my cousin!

He's a replicate of my brother at his age.  

Truly.

You'd have to see it to believe it!

The family is pushing me out the door
when I discover my shoe string is untied.

I must have looked like a real idiot!

Oh, who cares!
I'm going to see Chris Tomlin Thursday night!

No, I will not deny that I am absolutely crazy
about it.
Who cares if I'm a fool for Jesus!
Yes, I will act like an idiot!
I will abandon all restraints to worship,
no not Chris Tomlin, but the one for Whom he sings.

Call me an idiot!
