Ever since I heard Kip Moore accept a request by a caller to the Bobby Bones show to come into the studio and play his song “Hey Pretty Girl” before the guy proposed on-air to his girlfriend, I’ve thought “That guy is cool”. And then I learned this is also one of his songs,...

The hardest part at the moment was the fact that everywhere he went in his home, she was there.

Well, it’s been three days now since I have seen the turtledove parents, and talking to Tim this morning, he suspects something spooked the adults and they have abandoned the nest- and the two eggs. It got down to 45 degrees last night, and without cover, I wonder about the viability of the eggs....
