I love the busy life that I’ve led since December 17, travelling from here to there to everywhere… but man, is it nice to just relax for a little while.
Crossville, Tennessee, let Mom and I do just that. We are basically staying at cheap motels with names like Motel 6, Super 8, Trashy 10, my friends places (thank you Bobby, Curtis, Jeff and Max so far for putting us up!), and my Mom’s friends through the Van Morrison list. Mary and Don fit into this last category, and offered us each bedrooms in their beautiful country home.
Resting on 74 acres, with cows, ducks, horses, and kittens all around us, we thought maybe we could just take a few weeks off and kick it here for awhile…
They’ve got great trails all over the area – could walk for miles and miles and see new things all around. I attempted this, but probably didn’t make it farther than a mile, sneezing and wiping my eyes the whole time. That’s the rough thing about avoiding winter and chasing spring around the country when ya got allergies. Didn’t think that one through…
We only got to spend two days with Mary and Don, but we made the most of our time. They are both such great conversationalists, and most of the sunlit hours were spent on their gorgeous porch, chain smoking cigarettes, chatting, and enjoying our lovely scenery.
I was able to catch up on postcards, many still leftover from Ireland. Jeez. I also got the chance to add a page which you can access at the top of this blog under the header ‘Music’. The time off of the busybusybusy lifestyle allowed me to record two new tracks,

As well as watch a ton of romantic comedies on Netflix Instant Que… classy.
Thank you so much Mary and Don for such lovely hospitality, American Idol sessions and delicious chili. Hope Van announces some shows soon so we may run into each other again soon!
