Well, I'm not getting to have my whole week off for spring break but I'm sure stacking a lot of stuff into the days I do have. Lots of eating here too. Had Lone Star Moot, celebrated birthday today with Aunt, Uncle and cousin, tomorrow I have lunch with one friend for my birthday and dinner with another. Then gotta drive like a bat outta you-know-where to get home for work on Tuesday! :-)

But, I still can't resist all the fun here while I have a chance. I can imagine all that Trini is doing after being away from home for so very long! :-)

It was a wonderful time. W is always a fun time, yes. So is Purple Q, a delightful gal, and so pretty too. And 2J is as zzaaannyyy as I anticipated, and then some. Such wonderful people all of you. I'm so thankful you guys could come down and moot for this. And so glad Bear and Rose could make it too. They are the most charming company. Enjoyable conversation always.

I'm trying hard to remember some of the highlights. 2J and W and Dana all had cameras I think and were snapping away the whole time, so I don't know what to expect when they find the chance to post them. lol. Just hoping no one snapped a pic of when I fell/sat on the floor, I had raised up from my seat slightly (I thought), and didn't realize it had folded up, and 2J yells something like "don't sit down there!!! It's stinky!!!" lol, she's a riot. (no I hadn't been drinking)

Let's see, as soon as the rodeo was done and Marty Stuart came on we started up hooting and whistling so much we got the attention of a crowd of other young things, about 16 yr old, that came over and joined us. They were a lot of fun, and very friendly. W and Q got some pics. After Marty was up for a while they brought on Ray Price, much to my surprised delight! He was in for Buck Owens who was sick or something. The little tweetsies next to me wanted to know if he was anybody important. and I gave them a quick lecture on the good ole boys of country music, and his place there. Oh the night life, ain't no good life, but it's his life, you know.

Connie Smith came on and did a couple, nice 'How Great Thou Art'. And then Dwight Yoakum came on and lit the place up. Marty Stuart joined him after a few numbers. We started on the second row and moved to the first that was mostly empty. The stage was turning around and I'm certain that Dwight was waiting until he faced our group to do most of his special moves and cute stuff. lol It was fun, and funny too.

Then we got back to the room and PQ and I took an opportunity while 2J was in the shower, and W had stepped outside, to dress up the room with the stuff she had brought for the birthday Kims. We got that stuff up Faaast.

That's about all I can think of right now. I know that every minute was full of funny little things, most of them any way.


I started this post 2 hours ago and kept getting distracted by such frivolities as work.
