Jilda and I have helped with The Frog Festival since day one. Jilda actually suggested the theme of the festival.
Since day one, every festival has been blessed with remarkable weather.....until today. The weather forecast has been great all week, until last night. The national guys were still saying no rain, but our pesky local guy said take an umbrella.
Jilda and I did the singer/songwriter stage today and about 10 minutes before our first act, I felt a couple of sprinkles.
I alerted Fred, our sound guy and we made a mad scramble to cover all our electronic sound equipment before the bottom fell out. Soon after it rained, the temps dropped like a stone in a well.
Since we've never had rain, I assumed that people would not turn out. I was wrong. Even with the bad weather we had a great crowd. Even in the rain, I managed to sell a few copies of my new book.
Tonight, when we got home, Jilda drew a bath with generous helpings of epsom salts. After she soaked here weary bones, she filled the tub with water hot enough for tea.
I could almost hear my knees rejoice. It will be an early night tonight. The pillow calls.

Where can I find the book? How can I get it in Germany? And you know what? No matter the weather, if you want something you do it :)
ReplyDeleteI did not realize that you wrote a new book. Wow ! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI still have Michael Offut's book sitting on my end table. I have this problem with reading. By the time I come to the second chapter, I forget what I read in the first. My fear of loosing memory drives me crazy. It takes me forever to finish reading one book. I am not going to give up on reading though.
I wish you all the best with your book.
