Wynonna! with Tyler Childers

While I was still in Yellowstone Mary started begging me to go see Tyler Childers in concert at Fiddler's Green in Denver at the end of September.  Tyler who?  The tickets were expensive and I'd never heard of this guy.

Then she said the magic words - "Wynonna is going to be there too".

That was it.  Sign me up.  I'll never pass on an opportunity to see my all time favorite country singer.  Without Wynonna and her mom I would never have become a country music fan.  I am a Juddhead through and through.


We arrived early, probably too early.  Mary got us great seats!


We decided to get a hotel room within walking distance so we could both enjoy some adult refreshment without worrying about driving home.  I haven't had a Blue Hawaiian in years so thought I'd give it a try.  The vendor said it had a lot of alcohol, but as a really lightweight drinker I can tell you it was only Kool-Aid.


It was Kentucky night at the Green.  The night started with the Travelin McCourys.  Never heard of them, but I gave them respect and listened to their bluegrass twang.


It was starting to get dark once they finished.  Wynonna was up next.  Mary had to take a potty break and thought she had time.  I had to text her and tell her to hurry because Wy was taking the stage.  She came running.


It breaks my heart that Wynonna, who is country music royalty, is opening for other acts.  The crowd was young and from the way they disrespected her I could tell that they had no idea who she was.  Everyone around kept on with their conversations.  I'm so glad I raised a Wynonna fan because Mary and I were up on our feet singing along with her.  Hardly anyone clapped for her at the end of her performance.  Heartbreaking.


While waiting for Tyler to come out we went out and refreshed our drinks.  This time I got a double Vodka lemonade.  Again, no effect so I'm pretty sure it was just lemonade.


Then much to my surprise Tyler brought Wynonna out on stage to sing one of his biggest hits with him-- Way of the Triune God.  It made me happy to see Tyler show her that respect.  (I'm probably going to get a copyright violation for posting this to Youtube.)

It was a really fun night.  Since then I'm listening to Tyler and learning some of his music.  Way of the Triune God is my favorite!  Check him out if you have a chance.

It was a really fun mother-daughter night.  We had a lot of laughs together and danced together.  Can't wait until Tyler comes back next year!

Thank you, Mary for exposing me to something new!

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
