Completely devastated by the news. Dolly Parton came from nothing and made herself into our Queen of Country. She always stayed true to her self and cared for everyone. We’ve truly lost an angel amongst men.

Today, we honor all who have served our nation in uniform. 🇺🇸 I’m especially proud to remember my own family’s service: • Great-grandfather C.C. Newsome – France, WWI • Great-grandfather Jasper Fortney – Pacific, WWII Their courage reminds me that freedom is never free. #VeteransDay #Nashville

I asked for one more year. After Gulliver passed, I begged you just give me one more. You gave me nearly 3. Today, I said goodbye to Nova, my first Tennessee dog. A rescue turned shadow, sun-soaker, bed-snuggler, heart-healer. Saying good morning was my favorite. Saying goodbye was the worst. 💔

On the way home tonight we came across a Barred Owl in the road, it would not fly or move out of the way so we stopped, I checked on it. It seemed stunned so I safely moved him to the tree line next to the road out of immediate danger. Point of the story, I held a freakin owl! Nature is cool!
