It was an uneventful drive and we made it here in the number of pieces we started off in. Our hotel is really nice and the fairground is just a stones throw from it. The kids are happy to be at this nicer hotel. The Days Inn in Louisville was the bomb.....I mean it was like it was hit with a bomb. The website showed elegant pictures of rooms and such. But they had to have been photo-shopped. Nick noticed his socks were turning black just walking on the carpet in the rooms. There were two armed security guards in the parking lot. That should give you an idea of the neighborhood. Glad to be out of there.
The American Legion is the producer for this event. So far everyone we met have been off the charts nice. The hotel people even told us since we will be sleeping late due to the late fair schedule she will arrange for us to have late breakfasts even after the b-fast area is closed. I mean the people of this town are southern nice!
Our lot for our show is spacious. We have parked the RV and trailers and the animal tent at the grounds (where Vic Jr. and I are staying) and we are set for the set up tomorrow.
After a week off the kids will need to get up on the wire and on the trapeze to get back into that performing groove. It is none stop from now until the end of August. Nothing more than a single day off here and there. We like it like that sometimes.
On the "back Home" front. We got news that our cockatiel died. He was old. The house-sitters thought they might have killed it by not taking care of it right. Possible, but it was an old bird. They also told me that a friend of theirs gave them a sob story so they let him move in for two weeks. (NOTE: The house sitters are college aged kids from our church...generally from responsible good families.) That was a month ago. There went the trust. He is out in two days. I hope they can rebuild the trust. I would hate to have to have my aging parents take the animals and board up the house. All my bushes would die!
I am excited about seeing Miles tomorrow and about performing a long busy schedule.
Cheers.
