Good day you all…..
I have no good reason for my summer-newsletter-tardiness …Unless you consider 6 days off all summer a good reason….and those 6 days didn't happen all at once.
We've been to Wisconsin, Mackinac Island, Bliss Fest, Hoxeyville, Dunegrass, the UP, the LP AND the CD….! There was one time in there that we got to go to Lake Michigan….that was one of the days off.
This week I have 2 whole days off! SO while the 18th load of laundry is in the spin cycle and papa is rocking the baby to sleep to the sweet sounds of Smoky Robinson and the Miracles, I found a moment to write to you with some info on upcoming shows…..
