on the road

I am so excited I have to sit on my hands to keep from waving at everybody!

Tom & I are leaving at 3:15 to go to Florida (1 hour away in my senile old car) to see John Mellanchamp in concert!

 I heard it advertised on the radio & mentioned, “I‘d like to go to that. Later that afternoon, I got a call from Mariah saying she had won tickets! I was telling Caitlin all about it and she was, “that rocks! We’ll have so much fun!” “We?” I replied, “Daddy and me will have so much fun!” It never occurs to my rotten little one that I would go anywhere with out her!

But, anyway, we are, and I am feeling sixteen!

The last time we went off for a weekend was to Atlanta in September. There we were so joyful & nostalgic to be at a Dead concert that  we forgot the rule to avoid eating anything served to you by a smiling person in tie-dye (which is pretty much everybody there) unless you are prepared for the consequences. Well, the consequences were fun, but kinda precluded much memory of the occasion.

So, I said all that to say this…we are well overdue for a party

I don't know if Mellancamp food vendors are renowned for their food additives.... Either way, have fun.

We just found out that James Taylor will be playing at the state fair this summer and are already trying to fenagle our finances to see if we can get there to see him!! Yeah I can feel your excitement on the pages.

Where were you sitting since the tickets were give-aways...choice seats?
