Whipped! Closed with a bang. Dodged the Rain.


Bobbi meets Belle. This picture was taken at Beech Bend Park.
Belle would become to friendly and get a gentle bite on the nose from Bobbi and top bird is established.


This is our stage layout. We have a tie line to keep unwanted folks out. The kids are setting things up as Titus and Victor enjoy a video on the stage.
Our stage area is really small.
No seats for people...they have to sit on the grass.



As you can see from the next pix we are pinched in pretty tight. The dirt road goes out to the track and next to us is a hippy family that sells tie-died and hemp bracelets.
This Bull had really big horns and his brands looked more like graffiti .
I took this picture of myself to check my face after Miles whipped it during the show. The left side (my right) of my mouth and chin are a bit swollen. It doesn't hurt now...but it felt like my lip was hanging off at the time.








Jim is such a poser!








Cute....the Princess and the King.







OK, so Miles is funny!


Panorama of the view from my stage an hour before the show.










Princess Smiles!











Jim at work at the last show.










Where is Alf?






We dodged a rain bullet today. The storm expected here passed to the north and only threatened us with a couple of dark clouds and a whole bunch of smaller white ones. Those clouds kept the suns full power from wreaking sunburns and sweat. So in the end the day was pretty nice. Humidity was low and there was always a breeze.


Miles, Nick and little Vic spent the night at the fair in the RV. The rest of us are at the hotel. We woke early so I could drive over and get the boys for breakfast and shower here at the hotel .
Mami and I did the shopping this morning and found the Walmart down the road. Tomorrow I have to find the Laundromat.



We are getting our stalkers. At every venue there are people, most often kids, who come to almost every show. My kids often become friends with them and play together. It's already started here. Don't know if they will be here all week but there are already one family, a gentleman, and several little girls and a boy who have been to most of the shows.
The girls still miss their friends from Beech Bend but they are coping. It's wonderful to meet som many woanderful people across America.
