What has been the annual
trek to Bonne & Gary's
for their Cookie Painting Party just became this year
the "Girls in Nashville" trip.
With no frosting to make or cookies to hang, it was
just us girls getting together again.
And lots of tours provided by B & G...
Here we are outside Belmont Mansion getting ready for the tour.
Mark, the curator, gave us a personal tour of the mansion...of which Bonne is a major part.
She helped restore Adelicia's bedroom to its original era.
"Us girls" couldn't wait to see it...and now will be known as
Bonne's legacy to Nashville.
Then we're off to the Nashville ballet for the Nutcracker.
Had to sip some champagne first though.
It was home to change for some foot stompin' bar hoppin' down on Broadway.
And, we were treated to dinner here of fried bologna sandwiches...yum, yum.
Yes, it was cold in Nashville, but we continued on.
Leaving Tootsie's (famous bar of the country stars).
And, Elvis is alive (sort of)...
And...lots of beer was drunk. Those WV girls really know how to party!
Linda, Betsey & Ellen at it again.
Ellen preparing her world famous Eggplant Parmesan for the girls.
But, first there is a little sippin' to be had.
And, there were even tours of the stars from Deacon's house on Nashville...
...to Dolly's estate. We saw it all!
Thanks, Bonne & Gary, for another fun trip to Nashville.
It will be hard to top this one!
And, while Janet was in Nashville, Allan was partying with the girls in Indio.
They're waiting for the Christmas Golf Cart procession to go by.
Must have been a little cold in Indio, too.
