You know you live in the middle of nowhere when...

...the highlight of your long weekend is watching in awe as the grass grows and waves back at you.
But I showed you that yesterday and can't imagine you wanting to watch another video of grass growing,
so I'm going to bare my soul and tell you about the second biggest highlight of my weekend.

 George Strait was on TV Friday night. Be still my heart and push the furniture out of the way.


 When I went to George's "Cowboy Rides Away" concert with Justina and Don,
we shared more than a few laughs at the expense of the buckle bunnies in the front row
who stood up and danced through the whole show.
In the privacy of my own living room Friday night, I became one of them.
I couldn't help myself. George has that kind of effect on me.


 Smooch: Mom, sometimes you just plain scare me.


 I'm sorry, but what's not to love about a man who gives interviews
from his barn?


Alan Jackson came out to join him for a song.
If only my George and Alan could look sing like that.  *sigh*

  2. When your page opened and I saw just the top of the hat, I was sure it was going to be Pharrell! ;-)

  3. I'm not really a music person, and CW music less'n'at. I'm more familiar with James Taylor's version of "She Thinks I Still Care" than with George's. But I do have to say . . . I am mightily disappointed to see that Alan's jawline has softened up in the last twenty years. Of course mine has, but still...

  6. And you didn't even invite their namesakes inside to dance with you? I'm a little disappointed at the missed blog possibilities!

  12. I see Smooch has a skeptical/critical look on her face. This must not be the usual entertainment even in the middle of nowhere. You should have taped the concert, you could use it as an exercise video this winter.
