GS2’s team, the Troy Colts, play a regional football game tonight. He won’t be able to play anymore this year, but we’re going anyway. We’ve watched those kids play since they were 8 and we’re not quitting now. A good thread that I sometimes see on a discussion list is, “What’s in your CD player?” … Read more
We left Saturday morning, and drove to Fremont, Michigan. Oh, wait, not before we went to the estate sale next door. I didn’t think I could bear to do it, and when we were ready to leave, I didn’t think I could stand not to. So we went. These things remind me of a song … Read more
FanFest at IBMA was fun this year, but we’re tired out. We’re on our way home now. We stayed for the service and gospel singing this morning, something we didn’t do last year. We enjoyed seeing the Whites. They aren’t a group we would see under normal circumstances, so it was a treat. Molly Skaggs, … Read more
We’re here in Music City for the IBMA FanFest. We attended the awards show last night, it was a warm fuzzy evening. Dale Ann Bradley got a hugh standing ovation upon being named the Female Vocalist, and Bradley Walker’s almost equaled it when he was named Male Vocalist. For me, the most sobering moment was … Read more
The garage sale was interesting, to say the least. Hard to believe that someone would change a price tag on a fifty cent item. We just sold him what he wanted at the price he wanted to pay, and he promised to return (of course). When he returned yesterday, we had Papa deal with him. … Read more
Of the photographs I just posted from last weekend’s festival at Leslie, Michigan, I really like one of me, and that’s pretty unusual. It helps that I was sitting on my largest feature, so it didn’t show. Notice the cute people with me in the picture. And this is the other one, I sure would … Read more
According to my complete, 30 second, quick and dirty, Internet search an album with the title, Some Things I Want to Sing About, by the Osborne Brothers came out on Sugar Hill in 1984. That song was later recorded by THE Grascals on their album, The Grascals in 2005. Bobby Osborne guested on that effort, giving it, at least for … Read more
We spent most of last week at the Wheel Inn Campground, for the Leslie Bluegrass Festival. We had a good time, and saw some good music. I didn’t even go to town to get e-mail, and the phones don’t work too well out there, so it was almost a real vacation. D2 brought her children … Read more
We’re home, but we don’t get a bit of rest. Papa left for work a while ago, and I’m making a list — again. Finish laundry. Wash and sort cucumbers, sort and can tomatoes (5 big buckets – like laundry soap comes in). Pack clothes. Make a couple of dishes to take. Pack food. Buy … Read more
