Should I begin with all the fun I had with family over Memorial day? I should as there was shopping and riding and kareoke and fun fun fun....
Now doesn't that look like some REAL fun???!!!! Sadly that seems so long ago now and summer is full swing upon us - it's HOT HOT HOT but please note that I am not complaining -
I am simply stating facts. I will take HOT HOT HOT over even chilly any day of the week!!! I love the heat - turn it up. My garden is faring okay in the heat - but the grass in my yard is already starting to suffer. Poor horses. At least they not standing on concrete - that would suck, speaking of concrete Country Fever sure was hot - at least in a temperature sort of way!! Musically it was HOT too - but I think only me and three other people thought so! I absolutely love the music they had this year and enjoyed seeing them. I especially enjoyed the fact that they were private shows just for me and no body else, well i guess techincally they were for everyone else - who cared to buy a ticket, but i'm guessing there weren't that many who did. I could go on and on about the way I think it should have been done - but it's not my deal. I did however very much enjoy Robert Earl Keen, Mike McClure, Reckless Kelly, Jack Ingram, and Jerry Jeff Walker. I only saw tidbits of the other acts - though Cross and Stoney seem to be puttin on a good show and having a great time. I certainly loved that the music i was hearing was stuff I knew and loved. Ohhhh and the bestest part about the whole weekend was that I got my book signed... You know the one - the 
Dancehalls and Dreamers book that Pat did - well ive already had Pat sign it but I really really wanted each artist to sign it in their spot (it features different texas acts at different texas dancehalls) SO!!! I totally got the hook up to get it signed. Sadly I didnt get to see them sign it - but heard all about how impressed they were that the book was there. I got Robert Earl (who signed twice, once with an arrow to his picture - like i don't know who REK is!!!) and Wade Bowen and JACK INGRAM who put "Johnanna :heart:" ---sigh--- anyway I got Ray Wyle Hubbard!! and Cross Canadian and Randy Rogers Band and all I really lack is Kevin Fowler and Cory Morrow - both who will be easy enough! (that will Willie unsigned, but if i didn't get it last year I just don't know how i can ever get it)... Isn't that awesome - okay, well it's awesome to me. REK and JJW they really are like the Willie/Waylon/Cash of the Texas Red Dirt Movement and I loved seeing both of them again! I enjoyed everyone I saw - plus it was good to hang with friends old and new - as one of my Fav Volunteers said to me - this is getting to be like a Reunion - where you see faces you don't see any other time! There are attendees who have never missed a year - and who I only see those 4 days a year. Plus, we all know my affinity for the Blue Shirts (security boys) I love getting to know them and having fun during the event....See i've already forgotten the sore feet and sore legs and sore knees and I've almost caught up on my sleep too.
Well, I really really need to be working - the reason i haven't been blogging is because i've been trying to play catch up - and i still aint caught up... but I did need to get this down before people started thinking I was dead! Country fever has my sweat and my blood - but they can't have my tears or my life LOL...
Okay, that's all that got time for right now
Carry on.....
