My plans tonight are to take the Christmas decorations upstairs to storage and rearrange & clean one of my rooms. Oh.. and be a taxi driver for a certain 15-year old. Exciting, no?! Whatever your plans are, please be smart, be safe, and have fun! Happy 2011!
I make no claims that these photos are any good, but I thought it would be fun to post a year in pictures for LaVergne. Here’s 2010 in retrospect… enjoy! January I’ll throw in a “jump” here… click if you want to see the rest of the year in pictures.
O Christmas tree Thy leaves are so un-changing… That is until you start shedding them all over the living room, then you just have to go. So what to do with that old Christmas tree once it’s outstayed it’s welcome? Here in La Vergne, you can take it to the parking lot next to the Public Works Building, 148 International Blvd. (off Waldron Road) between Dec. 26 and Jan. 21. Or, if you live so close to Smyrna that they can spit on your house from their lovely new water tower, you can take it to the drop-off location at…
I love that several times every year, the fireworks store on Murfreesboro Road lets it rip… fireworks up to Independence Day, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve! I love how the guys at Mixed Grill Gyros will make you a cup of hot tea – their own special blend not on the menu – if they like you. I love that the street lights sometimes pop on or off as you drive underneath them, making you feel magnetic or magical or … worried (?!) !! I love that from almost anywhere in LaVergne, you can get to downtown Nashville in just…
With apologies for the light posting to come this week – thanks to extremely busy days and nights in preparation for Christmas and … well … working – I give you this brilliant headline and story thanks to DNJ. East Tenn. deputies find 4 aggressive monkeys at meth lab While the news itself is bad, that there are four aggressive monkeys at a meth lab is something. If you’re not working, go spread some Christmas cheer!
With Christmas just days away, this is a good time to reflect on its true meaning and to practice random acts of kindness. How can you do this? Go through your pantry and find some canned or other non-perishable items to donate. While it might seem that you already do this, this time give items that aren’t gross. Give green beans, corn, stuffing mix, chili beans, mac & cheese, rice, asparagus, and pasta rather than canned artichokes, sardines, and the jars of baby corn on the cob and pigs feet. Bring the items to our local food pantry. See the…
Congratulations to Tenna and Blake Bryant on their marriage yesterday. Also congratulations to Mayor Senna Mosley for presiding over her first wedding ceremony. I hope the newlyweds enjoy a long, beautiful, very happy marriage and that any hardships will be faced together with undiminished love. The mayor invited the newlyweds to have the small cake reception in her office. Congratulations again to Blake & Tenna!

I know there is no chance of this happening, but here’s what I’m thinking. So we have streets named after the old TV show Dallas. We have streets named after baseball players. We want to attract young urban professionals, families, people who work for a living to our community, right? What better people than engineers, for example? What do engineers like to watch on TV? Star Trek! So if I could name streets to attract buyers, I’d set up a subdivision called (drumroll, please)… The Federation Then use the following street names: Klingon Way Romulan Road Andorian Lane Spock Street…
