My week, and what I wanna do

I sooo debated on going to the Salt Plains on Saturday the 10th. I did, I did, so other folks could go too. But then I got to thinking... Saturday is probably going to be busy for folks not working on that day. And I did promise a friend of mine that I will show up in Jenks on the 10th. The 10th is Art on Main, in Jenks... lasting from 10 am to 6 pm. A free thing with art lining the streets of Jenks from one end to the other and my friend, Michelle doing Henna body art (tattoos).

So... I decided that the 8th will be my Crystal digging day. Tim is going with me, I think. And Susi mentioned she would be interested. But life being what it is, if I end up going solo, I think I will.

For those who wished they could go, but can't, there is always next year to out to the big lonely salty. This won't be my last year of going, just my first. Next year starts April 1, so make plans to bug me to go some spring or summer weekend. I'll pretty much say sure! Heck, there are campgrounds and cabins out there way, so who knows... it might be a two day sort of thing.

Now, it may rain... which would sort of suck, so let's just make plans to make plans and in reality play it as it lays.

Anyway.. the 10th is Art on Main, in Jenks! I'll be having lunch at the Wenches, with my friend the henna artist Raven. If you wanna drop by and chat about life, art and henna, come and join us.

*pout*

I wanna go dig crystals. And I wanna eat Susi waffles.

*sticks out lower lip, then smiles*

Next spring on the crystals. Definitely. And I will get waffles sooner than that, with any luck...

I considered Saturday, I truly did. The air just didn't feel quite right for it. I could see folks were going to have things happen and would make Saturday not the best day. So I stuck with the original plan.

April Fool's day next year falls on a Thursday. I say we make a tentative plan for Saturday, April the 3rd, depending on what else happens in our lives. Always being flexible to move if need be.

And I wanna come hear you play, and I want to have tears streaming down my face from the sound. Becky, it's not the music. It's the heart. You have the heart, and from that comes the music.

When the snows come, and there is white on the ground, I think that's when I want to come hear you play. Is that possible? I can see me sitting on a sofa, with you standing in front of a music stand, your eyes closed and the bow running it's courses. I know that the snow is on the ground because the light streaming into the window is bright, bright.

Your music will bring my dad back to me, for so brief a time, as he was a full lifer musician as well. No fidder he, tho. He was an upright bass man. But doesn't matter. You have the same heart as he did. And that's why I want to hear you play.

I like the idea of first April weekend next year for a dig. However we will have to check the dates because I think that is also Easter weekend, and I don't know if the area will be open, as a result. If need be, we can move it back a week.

I can provide the setting and the music; not certain about the snow, though. We'll see how things go this winter - at least we're close enough to make it happen on a whim...

2010 Easter does indeed fall on April 4th. It will have to be one of those wait and see moments, but I suspect the park will be open. When we were there, no guards, no one to check security, no life guards at all. They may close the gates at 6pm that night, but I'm wagering it'll be open.

Yes, you certainly will!
