Then on Saturday Blake and I packed up for his singing at a festival. Lets just say... we're learning to be flexible. I say we win the prize for flexibility this last Saturday :) We had a good time, and it will make a good story. Here is the sound system provided for all singers:
If you'll notice, the sound system is in that truck, with large megaphone speakers on top. Yep. We got a kick out of it. I think I got more of a kick out of it than Blake, since he was the one having to sing on it. But, now, 3 days later, he thinks it's funny too :)
Here are some more pictures from that cute festival.
Blake singing with no monitors.
Here is the cute little lady who sang along with every single song Blake did. She was our first audience member, and only audience member for a few songs :)
Here's Blake. A trooper.
After a few songs, our audience grew. :) People walking by would just sit down and listen for a bit, then move on. It is an odd experience singing at fairs.
Afterward, Blake and I shopped around at the antique stores and I found 2 throw pillows for $4 each! They're white with lacing up the middle. I'll probably change out the color of lace so it doesn't look as country. I'll get pics of that later. We also found a recliner we loved! But it was super ugly. So we didn't get it. Even though it was the most comfortable recliner ever. If we change our minds, we know where to go back to get it. ;)
Then we went to eat at a little burger joint on Main street. The tables and booths were completely full so we were about to leave, but then a couple invited us to sit with them so we could eat. So we did! Cute little small town. People were super friendly.
Then, later that Saturday we went to an engagement party for our OBU friends, Rex and Lee. We got to see more of the Theatre folks who came into town for the play. Here's us with Sonia.
Then, we went on home and I refueled after being around people so much that day by watching a movie.
Sunday after church we decided to make a date day. We got a local hotel room and relaxed and got to watch Cable! Woo hoo! Hotels are always exciting for us since we don't buy cable TV. We watched a lot of Food Network, and HGTV. We went to TX Roadhouse for dinner and then to Jimmy's Egg in the morning! Jimmy's Egg was incredible. I have a new favorite restaurant.
Then we hung out at our church family group's house. We swam and I supervised the kids in the pool. Not officially, but everyone else kept milling around, so I planted myself poolside, tanned, and watched the kids play in the pool. Blake got pretty sunburned playing Cornhole (beanbag toss game) and then threw his back out again after trying to throw me in the pool. Yep. We're praying his back just gets better. He's pretty fragile still. He was healing pretty good, then even before the pool incident he was feel creaky again.
Blake laid on the living room floor icing his back, and I thought it was funny because Doogan was also lying on his back. They looked like 2 peas in a pod. I cropped the photo though because, ahem, you know men lying around the house...not always dressed completely :)
Now, I'm back at work. And it's stormy outside.
