Alvin Opry and BBQ . . .
As I said in last night’s post ( actually, this morning) we didn’t get home from the Alvin Opry until about 1:30 am. We usually go out for something to eat at IHOP afterwards, and it’s always a great time.
Last night the theme was Halloween, of course, and all the performers were dressed in costume. And, as usual, everyone was great.
One of the things that makes the Alvin Opry stand out over most other oprys is the house band. Several of them have been studio/stage musicians for big name bands, but they’re all great.
This picture is another example of the caliber of the band. This photo shows 3 generations of music excellence.
On the left is Louis, the grandfather, in the middle is Matt, the grandson, and on the right is Tommy, the son and father.
We plan on going back to the Opry on Nov. 12th. It’s another of our favorite shows, called Legends. Performers dress up as famous singers and sing their songs. Many of them are dead-ringers for their idols.
In this photo Mister couldn’t find a box to curl up in yesterday, so he found somewhere else.
As far as today, about 12:30 pm we headed up to our storage unit to work with our son Chris to clean out some stuff so we can put more stuff back in it. He’s moving soon and needs to store some more things.
After making some headway, about 4:15 pm we met Chris, our granddaughter Piper, Brandi, Lowell, and Landon at Spring Creek BBQ down in Victory Lakes. Our daughter-in-law Linda had to work so she missed out on the fun.
This meant both Piper and Jan got in some Landon time.
Piper gets upset when I take so many pictures so she wouldn’t smile for this one, even after I threatened to Photoshop a moustache on her.
Landon has recently started smiling and giggling, and here’s a good shot. I tell everyone he looks like me because we both have the same hairline.
After a great meal, we got home about 6 pm and settled in after a long day.
More tomorrow…
Thought for the Day:
I keep some folks’ numbers in my ‘phone just so I know NOT to answer when they call.
