Going to Duluth to see Steve!!!!

Hello friends!!! I just got my tickets today to see Steve and Allison when they make another stop in Minnesota!! They will be in Duluth, about 3 hours from Minneapolis, on July 19....I've been scraping together my Ebay and milk money to get ready for this...I might even get a part-time job, but I don't want to set that in stone yet....

I never thought I would be able to see them again on this tour! It is going to be fantastic...they are appearing at Mitchell Auditorium on the St. Scholastica University grounds...checking on the website, Mitchell looks to be a great venue, small enough to feel a real part of the music, which, I think, is a must with a Steve Earle concert. There are about 500 seats, "in the round," so I am guessing it will be great from whatever location.

I hope, if you are wanting to see Steve again and you live in Minnesota, you can join us in Duluth on July 19! It will, of course, be a wonderful show!!

Keep rockin' Steve!!

Steve and Allison coming back to Minnesota

Yeah, it's almost too good to really be true!!!! After seeing Steve and Allison here in Minneapolis in March, I thought, "well, guess i won't get to see them again for a long time....." But, God smiled down on us here in Minnesota. Steve has added new dates to his tour and they are going to be back in the North Star state on July 19...in Duluth, MN, about three hours from the Twin Cities....I am just waiting for the presale to start!!! I told my dear husband I would sell everything I own on my Ebay auctions to get the money together...I figure $200.00 will hopefully cover gas, tickets and a night at the local roach motel...or, I will sleep in the van if I have to do that!!

I am just so happy they are coming back!!!

Chris Knight, my second favorite singer.....

Through some dear friends, I recently discovered Chris Knight...he sounds enough like the singers I grew up hearing in Texas to love, but also has his own great sound...you might want to look him up, lots of things on YouTube...I'm checking his tour dates all the time, hoping he makes it up to the increasingly thawing tundra...


Keep rockin' Chris!!

The sun came out in Minnesota!

Well, my part of Minnesota...I think it's the first time in at least two weeks since the day has started off well....the weather, while still cool, promises to be good...Hannah and I, and maybe Kyle (if we can convince him) are going to the Minnesota Zoo to see the Farm Babies exhibit...ducks and piggies and lambs and calves...just like back home.....

Hope your day is a good one.....

Flowers....and a picture of Steve....just because..

Back from Texas

We are back from Texas, here in Minnesota again and again waiting for the sun to shine....it was soul renewing to be back home again, even though the bluebonnets weren't as lovely as they were last year. I figured they would all be up the week after we left. They are temperamental flowers, too much rain and they don't stick their heads out of the ground, too little and it's pretty much the same thing. But, there were some and we did eat a lot of Mexican food and some of the best bar-b-que in the state in Lockhart, Texas, at Kreze's...I am including a picture here of the county courthouse in Lockhart, it's one of the most beautiful in the state. No photos of me, but one dear one of my 12-year old treasure Hannah Joy. She cried half way back to Minnesota, and I did, too, on and off. It had to be one of the most horrible plane trips ever, with turbulence and the parking on the tarmac for half an hour while they looked for some kind of part needed to take off...no air in the cabin and a serious panic attack brewing in me..but, then we left..once again, Steve Earle on my MP3 player saved the day...

Thank you, New West friends.....

I want to thank my dear friends on the Steve Earle discussion forum, New West Records, for their continuing support this last year....and especially these last months of my recovery. I never could have made it this far without you all.....

And, thanks to Steve Earle...his kindness meant so much to me.....

A summer in Mexico......

Last summer, and it seems like a thousand years back to me, we were in Nuevo Vallarta, a beautiful place in a beautiful country....this picture at least makes one feel warm, even while sitting and looking out at the snow....
