quick update

I've been too busy to write like I want to, but here are some updates:

We had a great weekend with Tyler Hentschel and the folks from Insomniac Folklore.  The folks who came to the last house show were a lot of fun.  Thank you to Kevin Carr for showing up and inspiring us with songs from your heart.

   

We enjoyed having the Pleasant Peasants and Destroy Nate Allen over last month. 

In two weeks We are having Kevin Schlereth and his family here for another house show.  They are a family band from St. Louis.  They have a 4 year old that is so good at drumming that it is rumored he has a sponsorship!

 

Mostly, we've been getting our house ready to sell.  It went on the market yesterday.  We are trying to get just what we owe on it.  We've been patching, texturing, painting, replacing toilet seats, light switch outlets, light covers etc. landscaping, having carpets washed, repairing chairs, sewing curtains, rearranging furniture, etc, etc,.

Meanwhile 11 people need clean clothes, baths and healthy food.  

I think that hardest part is going to be keeping the house show-ready all the time and whenever we leave.  We are pretending to be the Ten Boom family.  

We are hoping to temporarily rent a little house or mobile on some property so that the children can get their ya ya's out.  Let us know if you hear of a house sitting opportunity or something else that might work.  If you know us, you know that we enjoy squeezing into  little places.
