Well, my entry into blogdom was sort of a fizzle after one entry. Life in the form of family needs seemed to interfere with time I planned to set aside to write. Priorities are priorities. A wonderful week spending time with first son, sharing wisdoms, shooting together, playing golf followed by a trip to the west coast of Florida to support a great-nephew getting married. The family does weddings well and with enthusiasm. The bride's family was from Michigan and I am not sure if they quite knew what to make of us southerners, particularly when 86 year old great-grandma was up on the dance floor jitterbugging with her grandson along with all of the aunts, uncles and cousins. Fortunately, the bride bought in and will obviously be able to hold her own at future family gatherings.
The next week brought clients, an audition with a new band, and a trip to Otter Springs for the Florida State Fiddler's Convention on what may be the most beautiful weekend of 2010 weatherwise. Fell in with a pick up band for the tongue-in-cheek band contest where the entry fee is a homebaked pie and the participating bands get to pick in reverse order. The last place band gets first pick of the pies while the first place band gets the leftovers. Donna's Deviants placed somewhere in the middle of the pack of 12 bands and after heated debate chose an open faced apple pie that had entirely too much brown sugar in it. Oh well, the music was fun and we were the only band with a clogger.
Just got a call and it looks like the new band wants a fiddler so it is time to rosin up the old bow till next time.
