It’s been a HELL of a weekend! Visitors in and out our doors as my family came from GA!  They left Georgia on Friday Afternoon and 25 hours later, arrived home.  Josh is my 2nd oldest, with a beautiful wife and daughter (yeah I’m a gramma)! First thing she wanted to do, was paint….so I put the Big Papers in front of her and put on her favorite painting shirt, from the last time she was here….with the  big hand prints we covered it with, all purple, pink and red..her favorite colors..it seems! It’s wonderful to have them here and thankfully they’ll be here for 3 weeks, with their two Crazy dogs and all the love and sillyness that comes when family visits!  Today is the football game, so I’m sure they’ll be cheering on whoever is playing, Probably the Vikings, being we’re from MN…..but football is just a sport they have always shared with their dad, and getting ready for the game, is almost like a spiritual experience for them!

Meanwhile I’ll be upstairs in my studio, messing with some music, as later this afternoon I have a show to do, for the CD Release “Randal Prater (Linus Radford in SL) released his new album called “Second Tuesday Of Never” at www.randalprater.com and it features many of SL’s finest talent such as Cylindrian Rutabaga and JueL Resistance. Join us for the album release party at Doldrum!
12pm: Cylindrian Rutabaga
1pm: JueL Resistance

3pm: DJ Hailey Sands (playing Randal’s full album)

So during painting fun with Taylor, long talks with the kids and their loves, cooking, laughing…..and in between the chaos and sillyness, I’ll be working on the cd that I’ve been Trying to finish for a long time, as well as another project with the awesome Phil Rossi.

Things move fast, I’ll try to keep up, hope you will too……send some good love vibes our way, the Holidays can be a crazy time in a mixed family and certainly worth every bit of it!  Have a wonderful holiday all of you, for whatever you are celebrating, be sure to just do this one simple thing.   Love.
