Daily, and sometimes occasional, ramblings from me. Oh, and maybe some other fun stuff too!

I posted on my Facebook the other day a link to a video that Joe Diffie posted of him and Bret Michaels together on stage. In 6 days it'll be 27 years ago that I saw my first concert. I was a little late to the live music thing, but I've made up for some of it in the last few years. Joe Diffie and Boy Howdy were my first concert, around the corner from my house. I was a member of the Diffie Cult for four years. Little did I know then that the lead singer of Boy Howdy, Jeffrey Steele, would be someone that I got to meet because of my job. A couple years after I started working for Bret, I suggested that he write with Jeffrey Steele. He did and it created some pretty amazing songs, in my humble opinion. I got a super big hug from Jeffrey when he and Bret did their first show together in 2005. Bret and Joe Diffie have done a bunch of shows together over the years, but I have yet to be at one. It's another one of those moments that'll bring my journey in the music business full circle. Looking forward to hopefully seeing a show with both of them in person someday soon.

From FB's "On This Day" - an Photoshop creation from like 5 years ago when @peterkeys released Autopsy Turvy. He and the @thealltimelowstars have a show in Nashville this Friday.

From my @creativelymusical account -- Mop Doll with a Minnie and Mickey theme for a Disney fan. @Disney licensed fabric from @joann_stores @Walmart. Vintage doll head from @Ebay, cause they just dont make many of them anymore. Mop is from @Amazon. I just love making mop dolls, not very common anymore, but so much fun to personalize to fit any occasion, any style, and in a variety of sizes. I don't even start with a pattern, just grab some fabric, figure out how I want the skirt to look, and wing it 100% hand sewn, always slightly imperfect, but 100% unique. #creative #craft #crafty #crafts #disney #minniemouse #mickeymouse #mopdoll https://www.instagram.com/p/BzoACwnnibR/?igshid=1meot528dh9cf

It was 7 years ago today that I first saw Leroy Powell at the Bridgestone Arena. I went and bought everything he released to date. I saw him most recently playing in the band at the Loretta Lynn Birthday show at the Bridgestone Arena. Be sure to check out his music. @beardotheterrible and @whiskeywolvesofthewest. #nashville #leroypowell #whiskeywolvesofthewest #lorettalynn #bridgestonearena #music #tbt (at Bridgestone Arena) https://www.instagram.com/p/By8vmjvHwrx/?igshid=9cgk22tekngi

I made a Joe Diffie playlist on Napster to listen to while I mowed, I caught this album cover and may need to create a 1990s country list next to listen to a bunch of songs I haven't listened to in a while. Look at the names on that list. 😁 #joediffie #country #music #musicmakesmemories #1995 #pickupman https://www.instagram.com/p/ByttBhfnCZT/?igshid=1jm0azfsukc5z

Skipped a little bit of the dog pen while I was mowing to give this little #bumblebee a chance to get her wings going. She was having the hardest time, so I worked around her. #savethebees #dailyobservations #mybackyard https://www.instagram.com/p/Bytsk8ln_nM/?igshid=1q4jd7jxbbbz6

A photograph from last week when Bear caught himself a mole unassisted. He uses those radar ears to listen, then he puts that super sensitive nose to the ground, and then he picks up one of his four legs and studies the area carefully. As he combines all of his heightened senses, he does a quick pounce and digs with those gigantic paws, occasionally using his big mouth to grab, rip, and tear the ground. It's fun to watch him work,even if he isn't successful every time. #rescue #molehunter #molekiller #rescuedogsrock #bear #puppylove #puppy #dog #cute #pinkyleenine https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoyzEnn4Ih/?igshid=16svsmygp4jji
