Village of Nash Series: Part 6

Nashville Factoid #6: SNOW DAYS
Being from Utah, we expected lots of snow each winter. As students of Utah schools, we were like the post office employees...come rain, sleet or snow, we were walking to school--and playing outside during recess for that matter. (I remember doing a few unintentional 360s while driving the treacherous, icy roads to school due to the frigid temps and record snowfall.)

On a very rare and joyous day, the snow would be so deep that school would have to be canceled--but it had to be a storm right out of the arctic circle that dumped at least 9 or 10 feet of snow!

The same rule applies here in Tennessee....Take a look at these photos of the blizzard that tore through here this week!
(Of course, all school districts in the area were shut down due to this snow pack!)

Village of Nash Series: Part 5

Nashville Factoid #5: Just like Buttah...
So, everyone knows that the south is known for their homecookin'. Biscuits, gravy, fried chicken, corn puddin', grits, and such all use a lot of "Love" as Paula Deen calls it, AKA butter. The people here love their butter. In fact, just today I was at Target and purchased a wheat, chedder pretzel and the girl who rang me up asked if I would like butter on my pretzel!! What? Who puts butter on a pretzel? I guess folks here do since they put it on everything else!
