He went from Mama to Daddy to Uncle Hank to Pop-Pop to Grandmother and back again. He wanted to run. He wanted to talk to other people in the restaurant. He wanted to feed himself. Give me the fork! I am a big boy!Oh Lord.
Finally, Uncle Hank took him off for a walk and the rest of us finished our dinners.
And you know what? I love that Wild Boy so much that I can't even tell you.
And then Mr. Moon and I went over to the Legion Hall where they were having Bob Night. What is Bob Night, you ask? Well, a local musician named Grant Peeples is putting these nights together where he asks different performers to do a few Bob Dylan songs and it was freaking awesome.
Can I just tell you that Bob Dylan is an amazing song writer?
Understatement of the century. I know.
I'm so glad we went and we wouldn't have, to tell you the truth, if Jessie hadn't been playing with the Cicada Ladies which is the name of the group she's in with her friends Melissa and Stephanie, who are sort of like my babies, too, we've known them for so long. I videoed one song and then my batteries DIED. Well, good timing because it's a great song.
I'm still working on figuring out how best to get movies from the camera to here with any sort of quality. Freddie came down to the Legion Hall and I was SO surprised and happy to see him and he showed me where the card is in the camera. Supposedly, the card is the best way to transfer videos.
"I don't think my computer has a place to put the card in." I told him.
"You need a card reader," he said.
Excuse me?
I can't keep up with this shit. But I've tried a different way to do it and let's see if it works.
I hope so.
And now I'm off to town to buy food for a party we're having tonight.
Another party?
Yes. For the Beloved Opera House Friends because Vickie is in town and well, Kathleen just wanted a party. So we're having one and I'm looking forward to it.
So. Off I go. It's a busy life these days what with Wild Boys and Performing Girls and friends and chickens and it seems to be cooling off some and isn't that a relief?
Yes.
Happy Saturday, y'all.
Love....Ms. Moon
I love how when you go out and mingle and enjoy that it's multi-generational. The girls are so adorable. And I bet no one who sees Owen can believe that boy is not even a year old yet. So cute! And so coordinated!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mama. I had a great time last night, and so much of that was because you and Papa were there.
ReplyDeleteI sure do love you!
Michele R- Last night was incredibly multi-generational. Which was so cool. You're right. And Owen? Too coordinated. Maybe he's inherited his Pop-Pop's athleticism. He sure didn't get it from me.
ReplyDeleteHoneyLuna- I sure do love you too. You're such a PRECIOUS mando-playing beautiful Mean Aunt Jessie. And so sweet.
For the record, you go out way more than I do. It is not even close.
ReplyDeleteTapatia is my favorite for mole' enchiladas, and the CL's sound so sweet.
That is all.
Those Cicada Ladies are charming. And Mean Aunt Jessie is gorgeous. And the picture of Owen cracks me up.
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
Juancho- I swear- my social life has gone crazy since Lon and Lis have started playing in town and Jessie is too. You should come join us one evening.
ReplyDeleteI THINK I had fajitas last night. Yes, I'm quite sure I did.
Michelle- Yeah. Mean Aunt Jessie really shows her evil side in that video, doesn't she?
You know that Bob is my musical hero? And I LOVED your girls' version of Just Like a Woman. Fantastic. I'm going to pull out my CD right now and put it into my car.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your party!
What a most excellent night. Your tiny-giant-boy is a wonder!
ReplyDeleteAnd those girls! Beautiful.
He looks like he's already two years old. What a big strong boy he is!
ReplyDeleteBob is awesome. He is my favorite. I have seen him in concert about ten times. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteHe was just here 3 weekends ago in concert and I DIDN'T go! :( Sad for me. OK, now to listen to your vid.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth- Ah. Wasn't it a bit magical? It's nice to be reminded of Bob.
ReplyDeleteLisa- Yes. Owen is a tiny giant. And those girls are so beautiful.
Syd- Really? I've only seen him twice but both times were life-changing events.
Nichol- Well, next time, darling.
“Johnnie’s in the basement mixing up the medicine,
ReplyDeleteI’m on the pavement thinkin’ ‘bout the government”
- Only Bob Dylan could write that – and get away with it!
Owen looks great.
Thanks for a most bodacious post.
All the best, Boonie
That was a lovely rendition. Such a lovely band!
ReplyDeleteAnd Owen? Well. His joy and wild abandon are enviable and extra-special cute!
Boonie- You have a very interesting blog. Thanks so much for coming here and visiting. You are always welcome to sit a spell.
ReplyDeleteMs. Trouble- Where did our baby boy go?
The picture of Owen is classic. I love it.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I can't get to the damn video. I feel so left out.
They are about to feed us free pizza here at work and give us a sort of pep rally/state of the company address. My first thought was, I guess they wouldn't feed us pizza and then tell us the company is closing its doors. They'd save the pizza money. Lambs to slaughter, baby. Laugh.
I love you. Happy fucking Monday.

I love the Cicada Ladies...so beautiful. Bob Dylan may have been a great songwriter but the Ladies sang it much better.
ReplyDeleteThat Owen looks like he's a wild man. Holy shit, stay out of his way!!!
