For any of you out there who thinks it's a glorified life....
this being on the road all the time...
getting ready for shows....
I thought I'd show what a day around here is like...
ahhh...
the day before....
The Guitar Man is up early...
very early...
assembling and cutting kits...
After much badgering from the wife
over the years...
he's gotten pretty good...
at keeping a list going...
so he doesn't forget anything...
(Note from wife: something is alway's forgotten...)
Finished kits...
 |
| Time to reflect for a few minutes |
The wife knows...
she'd better start this day out right...
because it's going to be a tough one...
She throws some bones in a pot for some chicken stock...
Heads to the studio to get a little sewing in...
knowing if she doesn't make some headway
on these postage stamp quilts...
they might not ever get done....
seeing all her worldly goods are
coming home with her from this run...
Time will be spent setting up house...
so she sews...
And Sews....
Guitar Man is faithfully working away in the shoppe...
Making Kits...
And More Kits...
Yards and yards cut down and packaged...
Fat Quarters and more yard pieces...
The wife starts gathering up demos...
BOM samples...
Handwork for the car...
Strains the soup stock and adds
a bunch of goodies...
Guitar Man's having a bad day...
so wifey figures she'd better make him his favorite...
cornbread...
She even adds...
heavy cream to the soup for him...
They work til midnight...
they are supposed to leave at 6 a.m. the next morning...
Next morning....
it's 11 a.m.
still loading...
Now doesn't this sound like fun???
Hopefully we'll see some of you on the road.
Our first stop is a guild show in Yuma AZ...
the next week Rusty Barn's show in Phoenix, AZ...
the following week, Rusty Barn's show in Denver....
Awww...
then a few days with the grand babies....
Til later...
