Washing costumes and keeping my sanity

ice cream vending machine in a Laundromat is a huge bonus

warm and sunny

We are in Carrolton, Kentucky, May 2015 .
Warmed up and I found a dry spot to pin and work on this huge skirt. Sebastian was hands on deck as we pinned and folded . The sewing and re pinning was never ending.
JRN2 and High Socks were on the lot when we arrived !
Someone busted a water line, it was a small one, small but mighty .  I guess we watered the grass and made mud pies .










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
