Hello TAGS family,
Welcome new members.
Happy Birthday Don Rickles our own Newton Monroe turned 84, May 8, 2010.
rain go away for a while
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers for my hometown of Nashville,
Tennessee.
I hope everyone on the digest who lives in Tennessee is okay.
My immediate family survived the rain and flood.
My mom kept saying are we going to have to build an ark like Noah? The
front and backyard flooded three times each.
If you have ever been to Nashville or one of the surrounding counties,
you will know that we have some beautiful landmarks and landscape.
This past weekend May 1 and 2 we received almost 14 inches of rain.
Homes, businesses, churches, and hotels (Opryland Hotel and
The Grand Ole Opry House) were damaged with flood water and rain. The
Cumberland River which surrounds Nashville flooded.
The Harpeth River, Mill Creek, Duck River and several others flooded way
beyond their banks.
Some of the streets were so flooded that they were using boats to rescue
people from their homes.
Tennessee will survive and so will Tennesseans.
Come and visit the state. Visit the Grand Ole Opry, which for the time
being will be back at the Ryman Auditorium.
We have plenty of hotels in Nashville.
The National News really didn't cover the story, too much else going on,
bomber in NYC and the oil slick in the Gulf Coast.
A friend of mine in Montana said that the only way she knew about the
flood was from her father who lives here and from the Weather Channel.

Look at the aerial photos.
Nashville does have a connection to TAGS. Opryland Theme Park hosted
Don Knotts and some more Mayberry folks, I think back in 1991.
The park has been replaced by Opry Mills (shopping).
Jim Clark (head Goober), George Lindsey (the real Goober) and Jeff
Koontz (Surrey Arts Council) live in Nashville.
Sorry Allan for breaking any rules. I just had to get this off my
chest. I'm not like Lydia nothing usually lays on my chest.

Floyd: 'I'm going to Nashville.'
(Margaret: I already live in Nashville.)
p.s. I've tried to send this several times, I hope this works this time.
Nashville has more rain today.
