Here's Your Sign!

Today has been great. Tony and I got up real early, so we could get outside to do our chores, because we knew it was going to be a very busy day. We already had made up a list of things to do for Chet's concert and actually it wasn't all that long.

Around 10:00, our super friends/volunteers came out to walk our dogs for us and Dawn was the first to arrive. Then June showed up. Then Eileen and Lisa arrived and drove up to our trailer, The Cabin, with the white poster boards, that Eileen had offered to pick up for us, so we wouldn't have to make a special trip to Kerrville just to get them.

When we came inside The Cabin, all of us quickly discovered that Eileen loved to make posters, so we let her, since she wouldn't let me pay her back for buying the posters. "Thank you, Eileen."

Lisa, Tony and I sat back and watched, in amazement, as left-handed Eileen effortlessly produced one perfect concert poster after another. And her only request was that we play some loud Rock 'N Roll music, especially Booker T & The MGs and James Brown music. So we did and these pictures say it all. "Thank you so much, Eileen. We love you so much. Here's your sign(s)!

Late this afternoon, Chet arrived! In a matter of minutes, he and I decided to definitely do his concert inside the Dining Hall, because it was perfect. Then my dear friend Carol arrived, a few minutes later, to help us get the Dining Hall ready for his In House Concert tomorrow at 6:30. 

When our work, in the Dining Hall, was done Chet did a sound check to test his equipment. The acoustics were incredibly great, inside the Dining Hall and his music was so powerful—I immediately got goose bumps and almost teared up, because Chet O'Keefe is seriously one of the most talented singers, songwriters, musicians that I've ever heard or known. And I just wish that y'all had been there to hear him, because like me, he would have blown-you-out-of-your-saddle, too. So, I know that Chet's In House Concert, in the Dining Hall, is going to be the best concert ever!

Later this evening Chet came over for a super fun visit. When he walked inside The Cabin he was  totally surprised and amazed to see all of Eileen's great posters, scattered around our kitchen and big room, so they could dry. In fact, his actual words when he saw them were, "Wow! These are great-looking posters!" And that is about it for tonight. 

Y'all have a great evening!
