Bubbles, Blankets and Western Honky Tonk

One of our favorite things to do in the summer is take advantage of the numerous free concerts that happen in parks around Nashville. There are allot of them! An advantage to living in music city I guess. This past Friday we decided to stay right in our neck of the woods and go the concert in our neighborhood park.

I have been meaning to check it out but we just hadn't done it yet. Ok, so typically I check what type of music is playing and this time I didn't. Funny because it ended up being western Honky Tonk. We are not really into any type of County music... however I figure its good to expose Jacob to every type. It was an absolute blast even though the music wasn't my favorite.

They had a bubble machine!What fun... Jacob was in heaven!! He made friends with everyone siting around us, ran around in the grass, and used daddy as a jungle gym. Ahh what Friday night fun. Haha, things do change some once there are kids in the picture!

I sort of found your blog through our friend Amber Sturgess (I saw your comment on her page and just *clicked* your name and happened upon here). I hope you don't mine me being a lurker, lol. I love your posts and sweet Jacob is absolutely a doll!!!

God bless you and your family! Tell Charles I said hello! :); July 30, 2009 at 7:20 AM

Equipment

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, "I can."

Look them over, the wise and great
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you've all they had when they made their start.

You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You're well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but
He Lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began,
Get hold of yourself and say: "I can."
