Annual Fall Festival

Ahhh yes...the leaves are changing color, the winds are picking up, it's turning cooler at night...that can only mean one thing, it's time for the Annual Kendrick Fall Festival!!!  This year was just as successful as the 12 years past, we had hayrides, boat races, wedding vow renewals, bingo, cake walks, a raffle, bobbing for apples, pumpkin tosses, games and more games, live music, the barn was decorated to the MAX, tons of food, fun and fellowship with our friends, loved ones and our church family.  Thank you Lord for blessing us once again this year with beautiful weather.

Ready for some R&R (Rhythm & Roots)

I love this time of year for two reasons, the changing of the colorful leaves and Rhythm and Roots!!  This year it was even more fabulous because Jen & Doug have a loft apartment looking right down on Main St.  They are always the most gracious hosts and they showed us all a wonderful time.  You can actually look out the window and see the main stage where all of the big bands play.  Brian and I always visit the Borderline Billiards Stage as well...this year it was one of my FAVES playing there on Saturday night...Big Daddy Love!  They rocked the stage, we danced until I couldn't feel my legs anymore.  Too much fun!  I am looking forward to doing it again next year.  One day I will have a loft like this, crossing my fingers.

It's Football Time In Tennessee!!

Yes it's that time again...football time in Tennessee!!  To kick off the season we celebrated by having a UT Football themed dinner at church.  Vivian did her decorating magic once again.  Ryan pitched in to help with that & Brian and Doug cooked up some marvelous food on the grill.  We are so blessed to have such a fun loving group of brothers and sisters in Christ.

Fun Times @ BMS!!

August races at BMS have come and gone once again.  We had a blast this year with Lee & Amber and my hubby's coworkers.  We even got to pay a visit to the Bristol Club Suite and the Roof in Turn 4.  It was amazing to watch the race from right there in the center of the pits.  It was AWESOME!!  Nothing beats good times with great people.

August Struttin In The Ruts Mud Bog

Good news all of you mud boggin' junkies...our local mud bog now has a website of their own...FINALLY!!  You can find a slideshow at http://strutinintheruts.weebly.com/slideshow.html
You can also like them on Facebook.  We made it down there this evening and had a great time as always.  The price had gone up to $7 & rather than starting at 7pm they got started much later so that was a little disappointing.  John also brought back the 4 wheeler event this year where tonight he mixed it up a little and instead of the 4 wheelers doing straight passes for fastest time he made a small obstacle course for riders to try.  The spectators voted and it was unanimous that everyone liked the obstacle course the best.  The mud was soupy and deep.  I have posted a video above that you can also view on YouTube.  So Mud Diggers...get your ride, saddle up and head down to Church Hill on Saturday night and check it out.
