Tour De Stones River



Sunday, I decided to talk a walk along the the Stones River Greenway that connects to my apartment complex. When I saw the view, I was absolutely stunned. I walked along the river for a couple of hours. Yesterday, the kids and I got their bikes and Chris and I rode the entire stretch. Of course, his 15 year old legs left me in the dust, but I eventually completed the trek.

If you live near Nashville and haven't tried the greenway, I highly recommend it. The easiest way to reach it is to take I40 east and exit on either Stewarts Ferry Pike or Old Hickory Blvd, turn right and turn on Bell Road to get to the Percy Priest Dam. The trail begins there. Currently, the greenway ends at Lebanon Road, but will eventually connect to another greenway that will take you all the way downtown.

It's an amazing beautiful place for walking or biking, picture taking or fishing. The most amazing part to me is a section where they built a wooden bridge. It's gorgeous. Definitely worth the trip.

Happy Birthday To Me...

Hello gang....I know that it has been a very long time. Been a lot of changes in Donnieworld this year, but we won't go into that.

On my birthday, I just happened to pick up the City Paper in Nashville and noticed that Cas Haley was playing at 3rd and Lindsley that night.

Some of you may not be familiar with Cas Haley, but he came in 2nd place on "America's Got Talent" last season. He was my personal favorite. He's a stay at home dad with an amazing musical ability.

I went to see him and it was like a beach party in middle of downtown Nashville.

Here are a couple of his appearances from AGT

This one is my favorite...



Another great one....





After watching some of these yesterday, I had to go back and look at some clips of Terry Fator who won the contest last year. He was great too.

One of my all time favorite songs....



I hope that you are all doing well. I'll try to get back into posting somewhat regularly....
