Christy,

Yeah, it did.  We finally got a decent snow storm!  Lots of fluffy white stuff all over the place now.  It’s very pretty.

Oh yeah, this guy named Shaun Groves came to town with a really outstanding road manager named Brody.  He played some tunes, we hung out, ate (he ATE!) enchiladas and drank caffeine free (guess what he gave up for Lent?) diet coke and lots of water.

He updated his wardrobe with a special hat and gloves too.  If he doesn’t post the picture later on the shlog, I’ll do it here.  He actually loved them both and wore the gloves to the airport this morning (at o’dark hundred!).

It was great to see him again except I’m almost certain that he made a comment on stage last night about me stinkin’ or something like that! 

Shaun, care to clarify?

Beth

I said no such thing.

Where’d you get that??  Seriously, I only remember saying you did a great job with the introduction.

I LOVE the hat and gloves.  Brody mocks me for the hat, but he’s from California so what does he know about winter wear?

And the enchiladas were awesome.  Three servings!  I out ate your son even!  I told you I eat.

Shaun,

Actually, I what I think you said was something about coming to ND to see me and I’m stinkin’ cool, or something like that.  I don’t remember it exactly.  I took it as a compliment though to be sure.  Thanks for suckin’ it up in the cold weather to soft rock the Dakotas.  We need all the soft rockin’ we can get.  We’re a small but faithful band of fans here (and friends too) and you’re welcome anytime.  I’ll make more enchiladas if you’ll make more music.  Try to take a later flight out the next day though ‘cause I was yawning at work all day today.

Brody will get there eventually.  He’s from CA so the fashionista training may take awhile longer.  We did have a discussion while packing up though about updating (should I say STARTING) your shorts wardrobe for the cruise.  We decided you should stick with cargos or bermudas (No socks or stripes please.  I can’t hang with Orville Reddenbacher!).

The highlight for me though was getting to sponsor another child through Compassion.  We now have Leonardo, from Ecuador.  His birthday is just three days after our little Wedner who lives in Haiti.  He is absolutely adorable although he looks a bit sad in his photo.  Mary was worried about him today as we talked about where he’s from and looked at the map, etc.  She’s busy drawing pictures for them both now.  16 kids were sponsored last night and that is what it’s all about!  Thanks for spreading the word and giving us the opportunity Shaun.

BTW, did you get the pics I sent earlier today?  Please post the new look.  It’s great! wink
