Had a blast today with my friend Elizabeth Cook, Tim Carroll, Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, and Lisa Marie Presley. I actually didn't introduce myself to her because I was shy!! Can y'all believe that one? haha. Going to Troubadour this evening to catch Buddy and Jim or is it Jim and Buddy?
Wishing all the mothers I know Happy Mothers Day! Thinking of my momma June, my daughter Tiffany, my daughter-in-law Emily Routh, and the grandchildren they've blessed us with. All my sisters: Lori Lynn, Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy and Tara. And my girlfriends who are mothers as well: Lely, Marina, Toni, Kathy V, Ronelle, Marcy McFee, Karen Brooks, Laura Cash and the list is just so long. Have a great day sisters. xoxox
Thinking of my grandma today!!! It would have been her birthday and she would have been going to play Bingo with Peggy:-)! One of her many hobbies. On the list is bowling, fishing, card games, fussing at Grandpa and any kind of gambling! Number one though she loved to play music. She taught me all these valuable things to carry me through my life. I miss her every day since she has been gone from this Earth.

Thank you Kara Jayne Cloynes for the beautiful graphic!
An honor and privilege to have known and worked with George Jones! Always made me smile:-)
Ohhhh so sad. He was called "little pal" by our family. Also a great friend of Daddy's. Last time I saw George and Nancy was at Cracker Barrel in Franklin, TN. He sat in a rocking chair and sang "don't need no rocking chair!" I'm checking on coming home for funeral stuff. I'm crying:-(!
That's Mike Pyle (left) and Paul Griffith (right). Great times back then with David Holt and Randy Leago. We had so much fun and played so many shows. Miss all those guys:-(!!
(Thank you very much to David Holt for sharing this photo with us!)
Born 80 years ago today, Carlene's aunt Anita Carter was widely regarded as one of the all-time great voices in country music. Though she passed away in 1999, she is loved and remembered and missed not only by her friends and family, but also by her many fans around the world, today and always!
Happy lady!! Just found out we're mixing my CD the first 2 weeks of April!!
Yeah!!

So sad
What can I say
Except I tried to reach out to her but she didn't respond
Beautiful lost girl
I used to be lost too
On tour with the Angels now
Just sad to lose her light in this world
Started 25 years ago today with a humble little ad in the music collector's magazine Goldmine. Online with CarleneCarterFanClub.com in 2005, and on Facebook for a couple of years now too. Carlene wrote: "Celebrating 25 years of my CarleneCarter Fan Club!!! To all the fan club folks, I Love You and thank you for everything! Every post and every thumbs up! Keeps me smiling NO Matter What!!!"
What started as a seventh anniversary ski trip to Sun Valley, Idaho for Carlene and her husband Joe Breen turned into more when she was honored with a key to the city! See the Press page for a link to an article and video of the event, and the Photos page for Carlene and Joe skiing.
Got the key!!! Had a fun time, met the Mayor and got a letter from the Governor of Idaho. Met two authors and got their books signed, Charles Brandt and Leslie J. Little, great people. Mike Pool was there, he put it all together (you know he's my travel agent for years!) And of course Joe was with me. I'll send a picture, and it's going to be broadcast on the CBS affiliate channel!! Fun day so much we're staying through the weekend so I can perfect my bunny slope (quarter dollar) skiing.

Love and light! CC
Here we are back in the day!
Right around the time we wrote I'm the Only One.
One of the best friends in my life:-)
I love Kathy!
Elizabeth Cook gifted me this beautiful pillow after singing on 6 of the 12 songs on the Cartergirl CD!
