.....And a fun time was had by all


Thanks to Classic1942 for a wonderful well planned Bash in Nashville! Thanks also to Treasurehunter for all he did helping. Thanks too to Michianaredhead for a great Silent Auction. You all made a fun, well organized weekend.

We arrived (finally) on Thursday, Alfie was sent by his GPS to the wrong Guest House Inn and waited in the lobby for 2 hours before the lady told him he was in the wrong place. He gave my name and she never checked at that time apparently until regular check in time. I was almost to Nashville when he called me. We eventually met up and drove the rest of the way in. We dropped off our stuff and went to the Hospitality room. What fun it was to meet those there and the rest as they started arriving.

Thursday evening we all went to eat at wherever we wanted. A group of us went to the Santa Fe Steak House. That poor waiter we had will never forget us! He kept calling me Groupie Groper! I bet he never saw a bunch of Seniors like us! At least they didn't call the cops!

Friday we all met again in the Hospitality Room then left to do whatever. Alfie and I took a shuttle to the Gaylord Inn. A truly amazing place! There are 9 acres of flowers, trees, etc. We walked over to the shopping center then walked all the way back to the Guest House Inn. I think it was just shy of 100 miles!!!

We all met at the Caney Fork Fish Camp for dinner Friday night. I naturally had to have Grouper in honor of my nickname, Groupie Groper. There was 1 pound ham slice!!! also salmon and catfish. Truly a lot of food and ohhh so good!

Saturday we again met in the Hospitality Room and did a silent bid on the items. There were lots of "strange ones". My slippers will be known as Traveling Slippers. SassyLady wound up with them. She asked where they first came from and I told her, Washington, IN. Next was Nashville, TN then on to Atlanta, GA. She said she will make sure they travel more. They are slippers made out of Sanitary Napkins with Flowers. If you are ever at a silent auction or White Elephant Auction with her, be careful or you may wind up with them!

We watched the video Paris made for us. Paris, we love you! It was funny, sad, and so cute, just like her.

Saturday night everyone fudded up in Western Glam. We went to the Nashville Palace for dinner and dancing and generally fooling around! What a fun evening that was! Treasurehunter danced all the slow dances by himself. lol Michianaredhead fixed herself up special in honor of the Bad Girls and the King of Bad Boys being there.

Each night we wound up at the Lounge at the hotel after each evening event for dancing, drinking and a general fun time!

I had fun doing my special old lady dancing and had very sore legs the next day!

Sunday many left to go home and that is sad to have to say Bye Bye but hopefully not for long. We do have more bashes in the future!

Monday the rest of us left. All of us at the Nashville Bash had a wonderful time and one we won't forget. Ann and Alfie (hawkslayer)

All of these blogs on the Nashville Bash are making me feel bad! I feel bad that I wasn't there because it is obvious what a grand time was had by all! At Least some of the Bad Girls were there as was the King Of Bad so I do feel as though I contributed in some small way to your Bash! I am enjoying the Pics and can't wait until all of the names are there as I feel as though I know many of you and have not had any surprises by anyones Pics everyone looks just like they do on their profile or in my mind LOL Thanks for sharing!

Some believe in destiny, some believe in fate. I believe that happiness is something we create
