Great Weekend
Well, it did rain a little. People scattered right after supper break on Saturday when it rained a little. Most reappeared quickly, holding umbrellas or wearing other rain gear.

Today’s much anticipated line-up includes Don Rigsby, the LRB, Dailey and Vincent, Doyle Lawson, the Grascals, the Lewis Family and The Bluegrass Thoroughbreds. I’ve hardly cooked a thing, and have eaten several sin foods, an elephant ear was among them. Lightning didn’t strike, so we’re fine. We’re having a great time, come on out and …

Milan (Michigan) Bluegrass Festival

While you’re saying your prayers, please include her. She’s a tough gal, but she’s having more than her share of challenges these days. There …

Ready, Set, 2 days Until the reunion
I guess by this time Sunday, the first of Papa’s extended family will have rolled in, and we’ll be smack in the middle of visiting, game playing and all the fun stuff. We we mention the reunion to GD1 a couple of weeks ago, she didn’t say much. Then she came around, having thought about …
