adventures in aerial artistry

Valerian Jaw

Another cold day for us . The generator is running all night . We all want to practice our aerial skills but it is too cold . The ground is covered with frost when we wake up . We have started a Game of Thrones night . We drink wine and eat perfect snacks .

I live for Magnolia's

Today the 19th of April , town 52, day 73 and shows 146 & 147

I am thrilled that Joanne W had the time to make me this pretty and form fitting coat ! Ordering tailored garments online is not too easy .

I have been looking for Magnolia's for the last month . I was so warmed to the core when I spied these beauties !!

Red Buds or Red Blossoms, April 15, 2015

These pretty blossoms pepper the landscape in southern Illinois and Missouri . We crossed the Mississippi River the other day , This is always a momentus occasion to me .

We have done 137 shows already ,we have visited and set up in 49 towns, we have been out for 69 days . We have done 4 open air shows and 1 building in addition to the normal 44 set ups .

I finally wrangled a ticket for Marshall to visit !!

Waiting April 9, 2015

This is most of us, we are parked on the shiny, brown, slippery road . We are waiting for someone to find us an alternate lot . I guess we can thank the rain, the baseball size hail for our thrice weekly delay. Mud didn't use to be such a deal . We used a couple of elephants . We don't do that elephant pulling stuff anymore . It wouldn't help anyway because many of the grounds are so bogged we would sink to infinity and beyond.

Time to blog

Walked to town the other day, we were hunting eyelashes and wigs. I spied this pretty rubble, I love good rubble and Marshall collects bricks . I am also sporting my "stay strong hair hang girls" shirt. Proceeds go to the families. Someplace in Arkansas, March 2015, photo credit Bethanie

Miami Love

Fresia and I had a road trip, for old times sake . I love driving around with that child and having adventures . She helped me do all the hard stuff, I think she had fun and made some cool new friends . I had fun ! thank you

January is magical

I love all the sweet activities in January .
Elaine, my mommy, comes to visit .

The Ring of Fame in St Armand's Circle is splendid , perfect and dreamlike .
Just imagine a group of people enjoying perfect live music played by talented musicians (Marshall included) and conducted by Chuck S, in a circular park on green grass surrounded by trees in the sun watching 5 people get honored by the Ring Of Fame and having historic plaques placed around the circle .I love this day . It is on a Sunday and follows the 3 show Saturday at the Gibsonton Showmen's Circus . Marshall also played in Showmen's band with Chuck S .The trumpet section had 4 pieces . I did trapeze and felt fat and injured . It was the worst experience I have had . I guess it was the 3rd show that did me in . On that note of self pity I have seen Doctor Joe and gotten my bones aligned . Practicing ,working out and doing hot yoga with a vengeance and because of that nasty slap in the face of reality I have cut down on my ice cream, brie, and wine consumption . After this show we had the best time in the bar cutting up jackpots with friends from near and far. Another day I love. Marshall put a cold bottle of beer on his chops to reduce the swelling . We performed in the mighty Walker tent , a tent I love .
