Happy Friday ~

Success is getting what you want. Happiness
 is wanting what you get.  The most important thing is to 
enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters...

When we left North Carolina, Arvid made a stopover in Nashville, TN.

We checked out the main strip, and the place is ALIVE.  There 

is music everywhere, granted it was not necessarily The Blues, 

but it was rocking.  Country music in every venue.

Of course we had a few places to checkout on our "list"  

One being the store called Antique  Archaeology Nashville, belonging 

to the guys from American Pickers, one of Arvid's favorite shows. 

 Antique Archaeology Nashville is Mike's second location. 

Located just a few blocks away from downtown Nashville.  We were 

there and found a few cool stuff.  Arvid even bought something.  Not for

 him, but for a friend.  Then you must believe it was special. Arvid usually 

is never interested in buying the so called "souvenir" type of thing.

We found a Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and 

of course we had to go there. A few drinks, something

 to nibble and the sounds of country music made of a

 different time, but definitely a good one. 

 What I love about us is that no matter what we do, 

where we go, we always find that something that makes us happy. 

 My guess is that just being together and doing things together 

makes us happy.  The what is not always what's important.  It's just

 doing it together is what brings us satisfaction and contentment.

Weekend is here all is looking good.  Busy days are here again.
Packing, cleaning and more packing.  Sniff's days in Branson 
are narrowing down as are ours.  Happy Friday everyone.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; 
and to do so with some passion, some compassion, 
some humor, and some style...
