2013 Cherokee Creek Music Festival

 Back in May, I once again got to go to the Cherokee Creek Music Festival in Cherokee Texas. Hubby is actually there right now working on a new house for the owners.  Before the festival, they put in a heliport for guests and artists who were coming in after dark. Hubby wired and installed the lights.  Hence the square >>>>>> here with the green lights. >>>>>>This is a full line up of the artists we saw. Printed on a fan that was much needed.  It got warm.

Special guest artist for the private sponsor show was Robert Earl Keen.  He was great.

 This is a shot of the pavilion where the artists performed. 

Another  Robert Earl Keen shot.

Joan Osborne.  I wasn't sure who she was at first.  Very bluesy. Then she sang her signature Grammy winning song,  "What if God Was One of Us?"

One of my all time fav bands.... Pure Prairie League.... loved them.

 

Dwight Yoakum was high high energy!

 This pic is a little dark but this little guy was a huge Dwight fan. He sang along with every song!

Well it's been a month....

... since i was laid off.  Not fun.  Still searching.  My field is so specialize that finding an open available position is not easy.  But enough about that. 

Last week I took a quick trip to Seguin Tx with my buddy Peggy.  Her son is at Trinity Lutheren College down there and he had to be out of his dorm/apartment on Wednesday night.  Even though he goes back in 3 weeks for summer school, he had to be all moved out and the place cleaned out.  He was waiting at that time to find out where he would be assigned for the summer session.  We got there late Tuesday night, got up and headed over to the college Wednesday morning and got to work. 

4 Boys - dorm apartment - with kitchen..... need I say more?  I think the vacuum cleaner burnt up.  Back to Dallas Wednesday afternoon (5 hours drive time) with a quick stop in West to pick up some kolaches and help their economy a little.  Got home and Peg messages me that her son got his room assignment.... BACK IN THE SAME ROOM!  oh well, at least his parts clean.

On Thursday hubby had to head down to Cherokee to set and wire some lights for a helipad that will be used during this weeks Cherokee Creek Music Festival.  Poor guy left at 4 am and got home after 10pm and worked all day in the rain.

 ground they had to trench through to put in the line.  They broke 3 chains on the ditcher and still didn't get the whole trench dug. 

My oldest brother came in from Brownsville over the weekend for a quick visit.  Clay, Amanda and Emory came over for breakfast Saturday morning. Emmy was a little shy at first but warmed up with toys, a game of catch and a few songs. 

taking out squares.....

Not happy about having to put them all back.

She was busy busy



 

This week we head out on Wednesday to the music festival.  I can't wait.  This will probably be the only "vacation" we get this year if I don't find a job soon!  It's a beautiful setting, great music and hopefully some promising prospects for work... maybe.
