My hubby and I went to see Sam Bush and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band play in Nashville as part of the Americana Music Festival. Sam Bush is one of my favorite bluegrass musicians, so it is always a thrill to see him play live. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is a group that I grew up listening to as a child, since my dad was a big fan of theirs. NGDB released a new album this fall.

We went to a friend's house to watch the first Ole Miss football game of the season, so I made these cupcakes for the group. They were a huge hit with the rebel fans at the party!
We invited some friends over to our house to carve pumpkins the week before Halloween. I carved the first pumpkin (far left) with a labrador retriever on it. Although it doesn't entirely look like our lab, Percy, it's not too far off! Our friends carved the spooky ghost in the middle, and my hubby carved the abstract jackolantern on the right.
We traveled up to Lexington for a weekend trip to visit my friend, Rodes, and her wonderful family. We had a fun day at the races at Keeneland. Eventhough it was windy outside, the sun was out and the trees were absolutely gorgeous with the leaves changing in full force. Unfortunately, this is the only decent picture I captured from the day, but you can tell that we are having a great time! My hubby and I cannot wait to go back to the races and visit with our sweet friends.
My friend Christine and I volunteered to help with the Library Foundation annual gala, which featured Doris Kearns Goodwin as the 2009 NPL Literary Award recipient. We helped to solicit bids for the high-dollar silent auction, and as far as I could tell, we did a great job. I wish I had taken more pictures while we were there, but Christine managed to snap this picture after we left the event. Thanks, Christine!

Last but not least, it's Titans football season in Tennessee. We have been to a couple of games so far, and luckily we have been able to see the Titans win! We have lucked out with mild weather too. I wish that I could say that the weather will remain the same for the game on Christmas night!
Enjoying the beautiful fall weather at the Titans/Bills game
