Packed for Adventure

My boots and long-johns are packed and ready for the adventure that is to begin about 10 hours from now. Dolly Concert. Some have asked me who will be in concert with her...I have no idea. I just know it's an outdoor event and the forecast continues to call for cold with scattered showers. Perhaps we will have to watch Dolly through a bubble - I know she won't be exposed to the elements. Not that I think she should be exposed to the elements....I mean, in her own words, Dolly says it costs and lot of money to look that trashy!

There is an upside to the yukky weather. I'm hoping that the weather will deter people from concert and we will get closer to the stage....sigh...

This whole trip was spearheaded by our social worker at TWH, Jennifer. Now Jennifer is about the most conservative girl I know. Dresses conservative, talks conservative, married to a conservative preacher. She's the first one in our group to call sin sin, not in a self-righteous way, but just in no-sugar-coating sort of way. The most shocking thing about our Jennifer is her obsession with Dolly Parton. I don't mean she likes Dolly a lot. I mean OBSESSION. And she's not in her 60's by the way, she's 28 years old. A 28-year-old college educated woman with an obsession for Dolly Parton. That's interesting. So this trip is a childhood dream come true for Jennifer, and I am so excited to be there to witness it. I just hope we don't catch pneumonia!

If flash photography is allowed, hopefully I'll have pics next week.

And yes, I know Auburn lost again last night....double sigh...

I'm sure flash photography will be allowed! I mean, don't "flashy" and "trashy" go hand in hand?! I love Dolly too! Hope you guys have a great time!
