First of all, the concert went great. There were about 20 people, very low key. The band was much better than I expected. I know it was different than what they usually sound like, because it was only acoustic, but I actually enjoyed it. There were only 3 of them here just young men, about 20-22 years old, very personable. They are coming back to the area in August and this time with the whole band. I think we will be housing about 6 of them this time. Should be fun.
Most recently I just went to Virginia. Every month since my Grandmother passed away my dad's brothers and his one sister get together. It's their way of making sure they stay connected. In July they meet up at his brother's home, in Virginia. For years my mom has been saying that it is a blast there and I need to go. Reluctantly, I rearranged my schedule and went. It isn't that I didn't want to go, it was just that it takes some doing to get away for about a week. It turns out I am so glad I went. I had forgotten how crazy my dad's family is, I mean this in a good way. The brothers are still the same, just as ornery as they every were, just quite a bit older of course than I remember. I teased them it was like sitting around a retirement home. I look forward to next year.
