And a good Friday morning to you from Texas.
YESTERDAY
We drove across a big part of Tennessee, all of Arkansas and into east Texas. We being Linda Davis, Lang Scott and myself. Along the way we noticed this charming motel.
I’m not sure if that’s their approval rating, or the cost per night…but we decided not to book a room and kept going to Texas. Carthage, Texas actually where Linda grew up, and where the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame is located that Linda is a member of.
And I found out some great news during our trip. Next year Linda will become part of the “Walk of Fame” here in Carthage, Texas. This is what it will look like as this is a picture of someone from Carthage who's already been honored. How cool is that?! Congrats Linda.
I keep hoping that my hometown of Montgomery City will name a pothole after me…but that’s another story.
We had a great dinner at a place called “The Tea Room”…and old bank converted into a down home restaurant with GREAT food.
So we bedded down with full tummies in Carthage, got a good night’s sleep and this morning we’ll make about a 3 and half drive to Woodlands, Texas, part of north Houston, where we have our first of two “Evening in the Round” shows on this trip. This one being in the Big Barn at Dosey Doe’s…very cool venue…and it’s our second time getting to play there.
We’re looking forward to seeing some friends and parts of Linda’s family at the show tonight.
HELENE
We constantly tried to keep up with the track of Hurricane Helene during our trip to Texas as all of us have friends who have homes or property in that area. It did roar ashore as a category 4. In Georgia it came in as a Cat 1 hurricane. Home in Nashville, our local school system is closed today as they expect high winds and flooding. This morning I’m just hoping folks heeded the warning and took the right precautions to survive. Nothing good about hurricanes. Millions are without power right now.
Meanwhile here in Texas there’s not a cloud in the sky and we’ll have a high of 90 today.
SONG OF THE DAY
Easy choice as my northern Missouri friend Becky Denton just released a brand new 4 song EP yesterday that includes the song “Plant A Little Seed” that the two of us wrote with her talented husband Will Denton.
The song was custom written for a big seed company in Iowa named “Merschman”. They will be using parts of our song in their commercials in the not too distant future.
But the song is great on its own with a wonderful moral message…a lot of it personally relating to her way of growing up in the country. Check out the song…and thank you Becky and Will!
HEALTH NOTES
Cardiologists say the best fruits to eat for a healthy heart are berries. Blueberries for sure. Apples, watermelon, avocado and grapes are also listed as good.
The FDA has approved the 1st new drug for schizophrenia in more than 30 years.
Some fitness experts claim if you exercise before going to be you’ll sleep better.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
SPEAKING OF PET
Half of all Americans will ditch family and friends to hang out with their pet. I kind of get that. Your friends won’t go chase after a ball that you toss into a lake. Or stand by a door whining until you take them out.
ANOTHER STUDY SAYS
That nearly half of employed folks have fallen victim to a cyberattack or scam. Yikes. So far though, I have not bought a T-shirt on Facebook that seemingly so many of “my friends” keep offering me.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
