An Unexpected Turn of Events

After two weeks of languishing in the hot Southern summer sun, I got a phone call the other day asking me if I would like to return to the Circus life.  I must admit, as much as I love my life on the road, I had to do some serious thinking before I jumped because I had set some plans in motion for my future.  I sought out advice from friends and asked them what I should do.  They told me that I should follow my heart.  In the short time that I have known them, they have become the sisters that I never had when I was younger(I was raised with two brothers) & I love these ladies & value their advice. 

So, listening to my heart, I called him back & we met to talk.  We will reopen on July 11 for 21 days & return to South Carolina for August, when the summer sun is at it's worst.  In September, we will start out once again for our Fall tour.

I felt like a piece of me died the day I was told that the life I grew to love was forever closed & now I feel like I have been reborn.  It wasn't without a lot of thought & consideration that I agreed to return.  I was told that I am one of the legs on a 3 legged stool & that if one of the legs was removed, the stool would fall.  That really made me feel good as I generally don't seek out the spotlight or praise.  I just try to do my job to the best of my ability.

In the meantime, I will be preparing the camper once again.  I need one more tire & it will have a full set of brand new tires.  The pickup needs servicing, along with 3 tires.  I love my truck though :)  It just completed a 1400 mile round trip to Asbury Park, NJ &, knock on wood, didn't give me any trouble :D

Speaking of Asbury Park, the show that I saw at the Paramount Theater was phenomenal!  I had written in a previous blog that I was going to see the Captain's Tour because we would be so close.  Well, after we closed, I decided that I needed that diversion to help me cope.  I am glad now that I did go.  Here is a photo that I'll cherish:

I had such a great time meeting Captain Sig, Andy, & Johnathan & seeing their show that afterwards I tweeted: Tickets for @thecaptainstour:$70, gas to drive 700 miles:$120, gettn hugged by @capt_andy, @captjohnathan, @northwesternsig: priceless. I found out when I got home that they retweeted my tweet & it was the perfect way to end my trip. :D

So look for me to continue blogging as we traipse across these wonderful United States, bringing joy & entertainment to all :)

Until later, God Bless, See you down the road!
