You Just Never Know
We had a busy weekend due to the church festival. Since Mike’s in charge of entertainment, that meant he had to pretty much live at church for the weekend and he also gigged out of town Friday and Saturday night, so we didn’t see him too much. His band was the entertainment Sunday night, so he didn’t even do mass - the music director sat in with us instead.
Mike had bought LG a wristband (which means unlimited rides for one day instead of paying $6 per ride), so on Saturday while the Suns playoff game was the entertainment, he took her on rides. There were only three that she was big enough to ride on, but she rode on them all by herself (several times each), and she was mighty proud of that fact as you can see by the look on her face…
The other ride she went on was the roller coaster. Her face when it started up was priceless and both Mike and I thought she might freak out and start crying - it could have gone either way at that particular moment. Instead, she started laughing. Whew.
Yesterday night we had a skeleton crew at mass - me, the music director, Rochelle, her mom, the drummer, and two other teenaged singers, but it went all right. It’s always a little rough when Mike isn’t there because he is the glue that holds us together and we’re very used to the way he does things, but there were no train wrecks, so I call that a good night. We also sang a song that I had written with some help from the music director and Mike and it went well and even got applause which is cool. It’s always scary to release one of my songs into the world. Scary, yet exhilarating. But, music director said that the morning masses had received it well so I’m happy!
And this morning? We were awakened (awoken?) by the sound of a mooing cow next door. No idea why there’s a cow next door. Usually they just have horses, but this cow is loud and not very happy apparently. I’ll get a picture later if I’m able. At least it wasn’t a donkey at 3 am. I remember those days…
Anyway, we had a great weekend - hope you did, too!
