Brown County Indiana

Nashville.....a quaint little town in Brown County Indiana where we stayed on our recent 4-day trip there. It's population is 873 and has 3 traffic lights with the tallest building being three stories. It's filled with quaint shops, restaurants, bed & breakfasts and art galleries. It's all within walking distance....the whole town's only maybe five blocks wide by six blocks long! I highly recommend, if you haven't been there, you definetly need to go. I'll be sharing more shopping, sights in Brown County and information in the days to come. I have so many wonderful pictures and experiences to share. Enjoy!! And make your reservations!!



































The Nashville General Store and Bakery. We stopped here to relax and have some ice tea, eat a snickerdoodle cookie and watch the sites.

Just Something to Think About

"Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness--if you had little time to live--you would waste precious little of it! Well, I'm telling you...you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason--or you will never be at all."

Bridal Shower

"So many happy memories come from sharing life with the one you love."

Today day I went to a bridal shower of the daugher of my special friend, Deb's. Her name is Tori and she's getting married October 3rd, 2008, in Las Vegas at the Flamingo. No Elvis impersonators, just a beautiful gazebo wedding outside in the garden.
Here's a picture of her when she was nine and dressed up as a bride for Halloween and she proudly proclaimed, "Someday....I'm gonna be a bride!" Well, her day has come....and only three weeks away! Deb, did you even think then that this day would be here so quick and you'd be saying "good-bye" to your little girl and having to let go? I think she'll be in good hands, though!
This is Tori now. Hasn't changed a bit, has she? Still going to be a beautiful bride again.....this time for real!

Tori and friend Denise....the worked together at Build-A-Bear and are now great friends.

The following are the beautiful decorations Deb made for the tables; she put alot of creativity, effort and time in them. Aren't they awesome?
