One Day at a Time

Nashville WhatLiftsYou wings!!

This is the largest WhatLiftsYou mural that Kelsey Montaque has done yet. It's 20 feet high, took 60 paint pens with a very large boom lift.  The wings, are located at 302 11th Ave S in The Gulch close to the "Juice Bar" and "Biscuit Love".

I'm on a mission to see as many murals in Nashville that I can, this one has been on my list for several weeks now.  Since it was such a pretty day yesterday, I picked Robin up from work.  Then proceeded to the Gulch.  It was so worth it; such an amazing mural, and it just makes you feel good.  The name "Nashville WhatLiftsYou wings" is perfect.  

Another great reason to love these wings is that  Country music platinum-selling singer and songwriter Eric Paslay has requested the original creator of the pair of angel wings mural, Kelsey Montague, to paint a replicated set of wings for Paslay to take on his tour in dedication for his latest single “Angels In This Town”. His fans will be able to take pictures with this replica of wings.  Paslay has also formed a partnership with Dexcom by creating a website in hopes to spread positivity by helping raise awareness of type 1 diabetes and the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring for those who have the disease.  During a tour stop in Denver, Paslay and Montague made a visit to the children and staff of the Seacrest Studios at Children’s Hospital Colorado where  Paslay performed and Montague handed out her wing artwork in the form of coloring sheets.

After seeing the wings and taking several selfies, we strolled the streets of "The Gulch" and took in some sunshine.  My favorite past time is to people watch, you see them with their dogs, by themselves or with someone else.  There are so many cultures and styles, I'm always surprised and amazed.

There was a restaurant there that we had not eaten at yet so we tried out City Fire.  It's a casual American restaurant that features home made comfort food.   I had meatloaf, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, and mac-n-cheese, while Robin had crab cakes and broccoli.  The Yukon gold mashed potatoes were the bomb!

After our amazing meal and great company, I took Robin back to her car and we drove home.  It was such a treat to be able to do something a little different.  The work week can get a little stressful.
