[Hi Y'all, I'm finally catching up some from a very busy weekend. Don't know why, but woke up after a couple hours sleep, so thought I'd check out the website, etc. Started off Friday driving up to Charlotte, did some shopping at Concord Mills. I can't believe how much that area has grown. Met up with Terry & her friend at the concert, then Waffle House afterwards. The Hampton was practically full Friday night. Jonas Brothers were also playing in Charlotte. I met some sweet girls Saturday morning who had been to the concert. Found out Miley Cyrus is gonna be in Charlotte in a couple of months. My gd loves Miley.After driving home Saturday morning, I met up with our senior group for a trip from Bryson City on the Smokie Mountain Railroad. I ended up taking my car, because we had a van full. So a couple rode with me. Laughed at the Mystery play and enjoyed a delicious prime rib dinner. Then today had my turn in the nursery at church, had to have help because we had 8 children 3 and under. Then met my sweet hubby at another church for homecoming dinner. I did get a nap in for about an hour and my son and gs came over for a visit. As I said it was a busy weekend, but so much fun. I'm truly blessed.Glad Bill decided to move off out to sea, but we need the rain from a tropical storm. Sorry about the tornadoes in the mid west. Hope y'all that way have been safe.Good to see your post CAZ, good luck with the exams. How long of a break do you have?Y'all have a good Monday.]

Hi Y'all,
I'm finally catching up some from a very busy weekend.  Don't know why, but woke up after a couple hours sleep, so thought I'd check out the website, etc.

Y'all have a good Monday.

I was fortunate enough to win a "meet & greet" for an upcoming concert.  Can anyone who has had this opportunity in the past tell me exactly what to expect please??  THANKS!!

So it was the Raleigh Concert!  Thanks for telling us about it. I know even if it was just a "quickie", it must have been thrilling!  The few minutes with Alan would be fine with me.  Sounds like the M&G with Brooks & Dunn and Josh Turner.  Just glad AJ is doing them again for the fan club. 

[Thanks for your reviews Terry! Sure glad you told us about the Raleigh concert. It was such fun to see you again. Don't know what it is about Waffle House and Alan Jackson concerts, but there is a definite connection! Kimberly, sorry you weren't there. It was sooooooo funny!]

[Thanks for the review Jinx. It was great to see Jinx and her husband, Bill & Debbie, and Terry.I had good seats a couple rows behind Bill and Debbie. Thanks Cindy and the fan club.Josh Turner was great. Between shows, I talked with Terry some and asked the security guard if I could come down and help with the GOOD TIME signs, he was so nice and said yes. Don't know what it is, but when that clock begins to count down from 2:00 minutes, I just get so excited. Alan looked great in a beautiful blue shirt with white flowers, his trademark holey jeans. He started with GT and I ran down to where Terry and Jinx were sitting. Such fun to be able to join them for the signs. When Alan was signing autographs, I got my ticket signed. After the show, I got a chance to visit some with Monty's family too. Another awesome Alan Jackson evening.]

[Nan, after reading your post, I had to check the tour page! So glad for you and the other Okie fans that Mr. Jackson is coming to Okla!]

[This is too cool, Sara works at Chili's in the Barstow area and she called and said Trace Adkins is staying at the hotel across the parking lot. All his buses are there. Trace played a round of golf and just got back to the hotel. The band is at Chili's having "happy hour" with the staff and Trace should be there by now because when Sara called about 20 minutes ago she said Trace was coming there for dinner and is bringing them all Cd's, tee shirts and tickets to a concert. Sara got off work at 3 but hang around for this.]

That is so neat Terry!  Did you have to restrain yourself from going down to join them at Chili's? 

[Morning All!Sue, had to laugh when you asked if I was a 200 a game bowler! I wish! I'm lucky to bowl 130! But I love it. Got my newsletter this week. Also picked up the latest copy of CW! Love the pics of the concerts in Norway. So glad Alan is popular there. As usual I'm still in my robe, checking FB and goofing off. I'll get busy in a bit.Looking forward to the Charlotte concert. Our senior group at church is going on a Mystery dinner train ride Saturday night, so while Terry and you Raleigh fans are at the concert, I hope to be riding a train in the mountains of NC! I've never gone and have always wanted to. Heard that hurricane Bill is not suppose to hit the coast, that's good since he's up to a category 4! Terry, your weekend sounded like fun, sorry about the fires in CA. Seems like y'all have them all the time. Is it because of so many forests, the winds off the Pacific? Yikes, seems like they could do something about that. Hi to Elaine, Harriet, Jeri, and the rest.......]
