Went to the Scotty McCreery concert at the Granada Theatre last night. Craig had given Kathy and I tickets to it for our Christmas present. I can’t say that I had lots of fun. I am not a big country music fan although I enjoy some of it. Every seat was full so there were lots of people there. The music was way too loud for my liking. The lights were flashing off and on. Just not my scene. I told my guests when I got home I enjoyed sitting around the fire pit the night before watching the sun set and the stars pop out much more than I enjoyed the concert.
I did enjoy spending time with Michelle and Kathy at the concert last night. They really enjoyed the concert. I also enjoyed the personal stories Scotty told. He seems like a very nice person with a gentle soul. The lady sitting next to Kathy had been to 30 of Scotty’s concerts. She knew the words to every song he sang. Safe to say she has a bit of an obsession with him. She must have been in her 60’s or 70’s. She had driven up from Texas to see him.
Sometimes I need to remind myself of the things I don’t like to do so I can more fully appreciate the things I do like to do. Staying home and enjoying the free show Mother Nature puts on every day and evening is much more my speed these days! I felt a bit old at the show last night. Funny that I enjoyed the Deva Premal and Miten show and there were at least three times as many people at it. More my type of music – not near as loud and their type of music was much more gentle.
One guest has already checked out this morning. Two others are out and about already and will be back. One is still here as he has a late tee time. I’ll probably wait and clean house after the last one checks out tomorrow. I think he is driving to Texas tomorrow so hopefully he will get an early start. I’m ready to reclaim the quiet of my house after having guests here since last Saturday. The June stretch is an even longer stretch. Need to figure out a way to find a bit of balance in all this.
The next guests come this Friday but are only staying for one night. That will be easy. Then I don’t have anymore scheduled until June 1.
My weight lose drought continues. I haven’t lost weight for over 15 days now. Thinking I need to change-up something but not sure what so I will continue keeping to what had been working. I will change things up big time when I go to Italy and eat out all the time. I keep reminding myself a year from now it won’t matter how fast the weight came off.
Still thinking with my thyroid issue that I may have to further restrict what I am eating to be able to lose more weight and keep it off. I’ll wait until I get back from Italy to make that decision though.
I took a 30 minute walk yesterday down V Road. A semi truck full of cattle came by me while I was walking. The driver had seen me out walking and slowed way down as he passed me so he wouldn’t throw dust and gravel on me. I so appreciated that.
Didn’t get the baby chickens moved yesterday so need to get that done today. I want to go in and watch some disc golf today. Also noticed a bank is having a shred day so I want to take some more old employee files to drop off to be shredded. Glad to be getting to the end of that project.
Another beautiful Spring day on the prairie. Rain is coming in next week so want to get out and enjoy this beautiful day.
Grateful to remember and more fully appreciate the type of music I love, grateful for the simply beauty of Mother Nature and remembering it gives me much happiness, and grateful for the new friends I have made from the guests that came to stay.
