Travel Signs

Life is no doubt like the roads we travel. Sometimes it is straight, but most times there are curves, bumps and dips along the way. The great thing about traveling on the road is there are signs that warn us.

"Curve Ahead"

"Deer Crossing"

"Dip"

"Slow Down"

Wouldn't it be so great if life was like that too? If we had signs ahead of what was to come? "Emotional Breakdown" one week ahead or "Overwhelming Joy" for the next month, or even "Bittersweet Memories" for the next five years. Could you imagine? Would you want to imagine?

Charles Dickens Christmas

Every year Franklin, TN takes the city back in time to a Charles Dickens Christmas. This was the first year I attended, but I wanted to share some of those photos with you.

Liner Notes = I'll show up

Usually, the first thing someone does when they buy a CD is unwrap it, and throw it in the player, but not me. I take the insert out, look at who wrote the songs, and then read the liner notes. I love to see who in Nashville the artist thanks for supporting them through this CRAZY business.

Yes, it is crazy!

Some how along the way I didn't get a hold of JMC (Jason Michael Carroll's) new CD so I didn't get to do my usual ritual. However, I did get an email from a friend congratulating me on getting mentioned in the liner notes. At first, I thought she had fallen off her rocker. That day I got a hold of the new JMC CD and sure enough... there was my name.... d a r c y f e r r i s. I couldn't believe it!

So, thank you JMC for recognizing me and what I do. It meant the world to this small town WI girl from nowhere, nowhere. The other night Jason had a concert that I attended, because when someone mentions me in their liner notes.... I'll certainly be showing up.
