Atypical & Awesome “Head-Spinnin’, Tilt -a -Whirl Ride Called Life”
Where to start? Let’s back up to Saturday for those just joining us. I had won 2nd row seats for the Randy Houser concert at the Peanut Festival and gifted them to Alice for her 18th birthday. Sunday, I paid the price for going to the fair so soon after my bout with Covid and spent the day in rest and recovery. Monday was work- a good, productive day. I did some writing including a cute song for Thanksgiving. I made plans to attend open-mic Write Night at the Wiregrass Museum of Art the next night.
Had another good day at work Tuesday. I ran home to feed the cat before hightailing it to Dothan as the event was starting at 6 pm. Just as I am pulling into our drive, I got a text from Alice. She had won front row tickets to see Parmalee (also at the Peanut Festival) and invited me to go with her. With some rearranging, I made plans to meet her at the fair at 6:45 pm. I arrived at my open-mic event at 6:05 pm. I waited as long as I could in hopes I could quickly present. Unfortunately, I had to leave before presenting in order to make the concert. Through a crazy twist of fate, Phillip was on Dothan at the same time so he net me at the art museum and then took me to the fairgrounds as my driving at night is getting worse and worse. He got me squared away and entertained himself at the fair while Alice and I went to the concert. We had a blast!!! We sang, we caught picks, and the lead singer from Parmalee sang directly to Alice and held her hand. She was over the moon! It was so fun! And…… we got the presave link for “Girlfriend” yesterday- it was nuts. Please, please presave it on all your streaming platforms!
Because it was a Tuesday night, the fair was not crowded so Phillip was able to ride some rides, I bought cotton candy, and we took some sweet pictures in front of the ferris wheel. It was such a strange turn of events- we were not planning to be back at the fair but it gave us some sweet, unexpected moments. That is what makes life good- cotton candy on a Tuesday night. Tune back in next time to hear about Wednesday- this ride’s no where close to stopping.
