In the Present

  

Fes - ta - vaaal!

What I saw: The return of a gentleman, working. Last year I saw it and thought, "What?!? Working at a fun event?!?" Then I came around to, "Wow! Working while enjoying!!" What a difference. Live and learn. 

I also noted (which most wouldn't, silly me) that porta potties are recyclable. Good, and hey, I say, when in the john read what is available. Sit and learn.

Finally, a musician who is a comedian or a comedian who is a musician? I love to laugh and I like good songs. We saw Aaron Raitiere last year and liked him even more this year, and he played twice. I borrowed a chair in the second row each day to truly get all I could out of his time. To hear collective laughter is a treat. To hear funny sometimes and truth telling other times in a song is a treat too. Also bought a sign Aaron made that sure seems to fit me. Look Out! (For what no one ever seems to know.)

Music Made: Every day began mellow, moving into Americana in the afternoon, with the night becoming high energy. This band from Friday has to stand in for all the nights as I enjoyed the music rather than the taking of photos. There seemed to be more collaboration between musicians this year too, which is unique and often wonderful. Jim Lauderdale of, for me, Grassroots, came out both nights to sing with the bands. 

The sunshine: Much like a lot of this trip, there was rain. Thunder and lightening rain, heavy rain, rain that created a pond where high ground should have been. No matter. The Minnie made room for me whenever I needed it. Saturday morning I was up and enjoying sunshine and warmth. Rain can come, but it can go too. 

From Greer to Alexandria: a visit with family to finish the trip. Dinner at a new, now-favorite brewery with a wonderful burger in the hand on toasted gluten-free bread, fries, good talk and a beer, and then in the morning homemade bread - delicious! - with bird watching and a walk with Moose to get... 

Coffee: The fuel for fun. With Millie Miles as my guide, I fell in love with my car. 2300 plus miles and I'm still standing. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? This dog is ready to do lots more road trips! 

 Last leg of the trip: Skunkfest and DC

Then

At Greer last year; at Tybee this year:

Meet Hugo, as in "You go."
