Well so much had happened since I last even thought about this space. I have decided to come back and give it some attention. It truly has been so long. The world shut down in a global pandemic. Then it finally reopened slowly and still has it's setbacks.
It took me almost 2 years before I got to see my love. When we got together finally it was so magical and such an amazing time. Two beautiful bonus granddaughters are now in our life. Being able to travel again has been wonderful but still gives me a bit of anxiety with all the craziness of the virus that caused the world to shut down in the first place. I ended up no longer working at Lowe's anymore and to me, it was the best thing that could have happened.
The band is still practicing in the basement with transitions of a member and now they have really jelled into their growing sound and style. I love Thursdays so much when they all come together. They spent some time this past fall recording and making new tunes. My son is about to turn 22 in just a few short weeks, time flies by so quickly. Still he's the youngest member of the band but it's nice that they won't have to make special accommodations for when they play any shows that are 21+ now, which is pretty cool.
Speaking of how quickly time goes by, we are approaching the end of my daughter's senior year of high school. She is the last class that will walk thru the halls of this school, as the town prepares for the new school to finally open in the fall and this one will come down. It will be the end of an era. College acceptance letters are coming in!! It's pretty incredible. I'm proud of both my kiddos but schooling has been so different for the two of them. But I'm proud of them both, in so many ways.
And oh my, the music and bands that I've been so privileged to see and hear over the last few years has been phenomenal. From Blind Melon, to Avetts & finally getting to see Pearl Jam with all the other bands in between.
Soon, I get to start it up again this year will some kickass bands to see all over. I'm a spoiled concert goer and I'm so ok with it. Also add into that my incredible voyage back to my home away from home in September that is amazing as well. I'm so ready for it all. I love adventuring and traveling and can't wait to include visits with the love of my life. This year and beyond is going to be epic.
This just is my little nutshell of getting back into writing again. I've made little lists and notes of memories, I might include those as well. I think that could be fun. Until next time.
