Saturday 5-20 Ruthie Foster Concert

Be Happy!!!!

It rained during the night, at times it was very heavy but by morning the rain was gone.

It was overcast all day which kept the temperature down. Larry and I decided to play with the garden planter considering the temperature was comfortable. The first thing we did was decide where to put the planter. We thought about putting it around the septic tank area but the kit was too small and we really didn't want to buy another one. Instead we decided to put it around one of the oak trees in the back. We had thought about cutting down the post to six inches instead of a foot but after playing around with the height we decided on keeping it at the height it was. Larry assembled three sides of the kit and then put the planter around the tree. Once around the tree he assembled the fourth side. Our lot isn't flat so Larry leveled the planter by digging around the tree. After leveling the planter he put the dirt back around the planter. We had a couple bags of dirt laying around that we put inside the planter. Now we need to get some more dirt and decide what flowers we're going to plant. I almost forgot we also have to buy some potting soil for the flowers.

Lots of stuff was going on in our area today, the Harley Davidson dealership was having a event involving live music and motorcycle racing and there were two concerts, ZZ Top was at the Expo Center and Ruthie Foster at the Culture Activities Center. A few months ago Willie Nelson had a concert at the Expo center and people that went said it was a mess to get in and out of the parking lot because of traffic. We really would like to go see ZZ Top considering we have never attended one of their concerts. Larry and I went to town to check out the Harley Davidson Dealer event and the Expo Center parking condition. We drove to the Expo Center and found out that there wasn't that much parking and part of the parking lot was taped off for a Harley Davidson event. We decided we would not be going to the ZZ Top Concert. Then we drove by the Harley Davidson Dealer and kept on going considering cars were parked everywhere including the ditches along the highway. We did swing by Harbor Freight, we hadn't been there in a long time and Larry wanted to pick up a couple of things.

In the evening Larry and I went to Ruthie Foster's Concert in Temple at the Cultural Activities Center. Ruthie Foster is an American songwriter and singer. She sings blues, folk and gospel folk. We have seen Ruthie in concert before and we always enjoy her. She is very energetic and relates to the audience very well. Tonight she performed with Samantha Banks on the drums and Larry Fulcher on the base. It was an excellent concert. We had a super day.
