Roadtripping to the South of Chile
On the day we arrived in Chile, we drove to Osorno and finally arrived at Javier’s aunt and uncles house ‘s 5 in the morning. His aunt and uncle have a beautiful home with a brand new back patio furnished with an outdoor grill that Javier studied for about an hour so he could learn […]

We made it to Chile!
It’s time for another Chilean Christmas!!!! Javier and I have been waiting for this trip since…well, truly since we left Chile the last time back in 2009 but this year since we bought our tickets in March. It’s been a LONG TIME COMING! We haven’t been since our wedding! This year we are planning to […]

Rodriguez / McClure Thanksgiving
With all the excitement about the kickstarter and the pressure to continue posting about it we never wound up posting about our Thanksgiving!! This year was a little different than usual because grandma was out of town and we did Thanksgiving at home in Nashville rather than Louisville. We made a feast fit for 3 […]

Important Announcements from Humming House!
Dearest friends, If you didn’t know this already, I sing in a band called Humming House. I started singing with them back in February and went on a few small tour runs with them. In May I decided to halt my academic life for a bit and enter the touring / music world full time, […]

Home again!
Ohhhh it is good to be home. I’m currently lounging on the couch, Chupi is curled up next to me asleep and snoring into my leg, West Wing season 3 is on, Javier is studying, the house smells like pesto pasta and life is GOOD. I’m so happy to be back! Humming House was on […]

NYC, DC…and hockey
For the last three weeks I’ve been on the road with Humming House for the final leg of our Fall Forward Tour. We started off our time in NYC, staying one night with a friend in his apartment in Manhattan and then relocating to another friend’s loft in Brooklyn. The loft in Brooklyn had an […]

Fall Gardening
Last year we didn’t bother planting a fall garden – we let our summer garden die and then started planting cold season crops in January when we started up our landscaping project. This year we decided to plant two kinds of lettuce and spinach for the fall, and when the temperatures really drop we’ll be […]

Baby Gia
Back in September the Humming House tour schedule took us up to Chicago where I got to spend two nights with Ian, Andrea and their sweet baby Gia. I still, still can’t believe I’m an aunt! I don’t think I’ve ever held such a small baby – I felt like I was going to break her. She’s […]

2013 TN State Fair
Alright, this is the last post in our state & county fair series, which is really an excuse to bring you adorable photos of farm animals. Then we’ll move on to more contemporary goings-on in the LRL of late. The last fair we went to was the most excellent TN State Fair, which we think Goldilocks would agree is “just […]

Wilson County Fair
This year we’re collecting fairs – we already wrote about our trip to the Williamson County Fair but we still have yet to post about our trips to the Wilson County Fair and the State Fair. Javi and I have gone to the TN State Fair every year since we first started dating, mostly to […]

Baby Gia is here!!
OUR BABY NIECE IS HERE! Gia Marilyn McClure was born on August 20 at 7:15 in the morning and she’s perfect. Of course I’m biased, but I’ve never seen such a darling baby in my life. Andrea and Ian called to let us know that they were heading to the hospital on August 19 and the […]

Williamson County Fair
Every year Javier and I make a trip out to the TN State Fair, which is usually held in September. This year we decided that one fair wasn’t enough, so we decided to check out the Williamson County Fair to see what it was all about. For us, the fair is all about seeing the […]

Congratulations David and Sarah!
Last weekend Javier and I took a quick day trip to Bryantsville, Kentucky where two of our dear friends David and Sarah tied the knot. The wedding was held at a lovely farm outside of Lexington, KY, outdoors under a weeping willow next to a pretty little pond on the property. We were surrounded by […]

Choripan – the food not the pup
I mentioned on the pan amasado post that we used the bread to make Choripan – so here is that story. Choripan, besides being the name of our youngest pup, is a popular dish back home in Chile. It is similar to a hotdog but instead of a regular hot dog you use chorizo. This was […]

‘Merica party
On April 19 I became an American citizen and for quite a while we planned on having a big America party to celebrate. We wanted to have as many family and friends at the party as possible, but due to vacation schedules, shows, gigs, work, etc…we couldn’t find a good time to have this party […]

Pan amasado
Every once in a while I get a craving for bread – specifically Chilean bread. I won’t go to the store and stuff my face with a regular loaf. I’m talking about warm hand made Chilean bread. Since there isn’t a Chilean bakery in Nashville, I have to make the bread myself. De vez en […]

Arrington Vineyards
A couple of weeks ago Javier and I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon with friends at Arrington Vineyard. Like the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Arrington Vineyards was another Nashville favorite that Javier and I had never visited in our years living in this lovely city. Arrington is about a 40 minute drive outside of town and […]

THE FINISHED LANDSCAPE!
I still can’t believe we never posted about our finished landscape. After all that work and all those updates along the way – we never showed off the finished product! I think it was such an effort to do the landscaping that the thought of describing the final push to finish was too much to […]

Garden Update!
Lately thanks to all this rainfall our garden is starting to look great. This year we planted corn, beans, tomatoes, peppers, basil, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, lettuce and spinach (but those were cold season crops so they are finished now), beets, radishes, sweet potatoes and strawberries. We also used half of a raised bed for cutting […]

Hickory Slims at Village Pub and YumEast!
Since March Hickory Slims has played a couple of shows that I never got around to posting about. Things have been so busy for us outside of music – Eric and Willie each bought a house, so they’ve been going crazy moving in and getting things settled in their respective homes. Josh and I were […]
