St. Jude's Songwriter Night
Saturday, day of Amber's wedding my
older brother called and said he had a stay
at a hotel that had to be used that night or
he would lose points. Did I think Amber
would want it? I said that would be
nice but she will have all the boys so
that would not be doable.
So, did I want it. Sure....why not.
You see Debbie has traveled with me
on most of my wedding shoots. She
loves getting out and helping. Most times
along with pay we were put up in a
nice hotel. So this would be like old times!
We laughed and giggled over lots of
things before our old bodies crashed!
I got home, picked up Dakota at moms,
loved on both him and Lily and later
that afternoon I met one of my older
and dear friends, Julie of Julia's Homestyle
Bakery, her hubby of 37.5 yrs and a
sweet girl that works at the bakery.
We headed to the WhiteHorse
downtown for the St. Jude's
and the Big 98 (radio station) fund
raiser.
Julie brought cookies that the bakery
made for the auction that night.
This is Roger, Julies hubby and their
granddaughter Luna.
I have been watching Luna grow
via FB for 13 months but this is
the first time I have met her.
At the Wildhorse, this is Julie, her sister
Laurie and Laurie's hubby Tony.
This is Lauren Alaina.

Aren't they an adorable couple?
Had a great time hanging with old
friends and meeting these local
songwriters and hearing them sing
the songs they wrote.
I have been going strong for
almost a week, pushed hard to
make myself do things on
Monday and Tuesday but
my body said....ENOUGH
today. Major rear kicking headache,
over all pain and fatigued.
Slept most of the day.
Have an apt. that I need to
make first thing in the morning
so here is hoping I am up
and moving fine then....

Have a terrific day. ♥
All the best Jan
