Back Home

Hey everyone!

Well, I'm home now from an absolutely wonderful weekend!! As you know, we left Thursday evening to go to Gatlinburg, TN for The Gatlinburg Gathering. It was so much fun! We checked in the hotel that night and just un-wound for a little bit. Then the next morning, the hustle and bustle began. We set up my booth and then The Cookes came with the group stuff later that afternoon and we set up the group booth. We were excited that we got to be right beside the booth where a professional artist would be every night. That is, when a group would come and set up and sing one night, then tear down the same night and head on to their next booking. The group that was there Friday night was... The Perrys! The group that loaded in Saturday night was, my friends, The Collingsworth Family! It was really good to get to see them again and catch up on things. I love these people so much!! They are awesome! The next group that was beside of us was The Booth Brothers!! They are top-notch; and they are some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Along with all the "big" groups that I've come to know personally and admire, I, along with the girls, got to be reunited with some up-and-coming groups that we hadn't seen in a long time. We had some wonderful conversations with The Wisecarvers (from Tennessee), a group called Total Praise Quartet (from Greenville, SC), and Third Generation (also from TN.) All of these groups are absolutely wonderful!

I've posted some pictures at the bottom of this entry. Enjoy! :)
