I thought I would be incredibly sad and feeling bereft after the show. Somewhat unexpectedly, and most fortunately, I feel at peace with it. It probably helps that I was utterly exhausted the day after. Maybe, maybe not. And the messages and videos that folks sent have really stayed with me.

The PA and speakers are still up and I kinda hate that Owen and friends are coming to get them tomorrow. I feel wistful but I keep reminding myself that we can still entertain and we can still have a show occasionally. The worst part is catching myself saying, “Oh, we should have them back,” or, “They’d be great at a house concert.” Even though we hadn’t really been doing shows since the pandemic, the mindset was still there.

Onward, as I like to say. Right now I’m enjoying the grey misty day.

Oh, yes, and I still have some thank you to get out…slow but steady….

Might be the best year ever for tomato sandwiches.

As always, the girl is watching over everything.
Happy birthday to my late and much loved mother in law 💙

Onward.
