Country Music's Hometown









Greetings from Music City! Audrey and I picked Corrin up at Mercy Ministries on Friday afternoon and are having fun spending the weekend with her. Corrin has been a Mercy resident since April and will graduate from the program in a week. She's gotten tan living in the south, but hasn't quite developed the accent. Honestly, I don't know how she's avoided it. I'm having so much fun listening to people talk here - and it's very contagious too.
Today we ventured downtown to do a little exploring and were pleasantly surprised that it feels nothing like being in a major city. (I was very thankful for that, since I was driving!) Here are a few photos from our day:
1) She pulls off the look quite well, doesn't she?
2) Corrin and Audrey in front of an Andrew Jackson statue at the Tenn. state capitol.
3) Sisters - a happy reunion after over six months apart! (I was in Europe when Corrin left for Mercy.)
4) James K. Polk and his wife are buried here (in the lawn at the capitol).
5) This replica of the Greek Parthenon sits in Centennial Park. It's quite impressive in real life - those pillars are massive.
