Blake's Visit...Get OUT Of Here!

It was so great to get to see Blake, HERE. As in, our home. As in Northern Arizona, far away from Crestline (where we usually get to see him). He was on a little "adventure" with three of his buddies. These guys all get together once a year, their bonds are pretty tight, and I think that is pretty awesome! So their adventure was the Grand Canyon (Blake's first trip to see it). Of course it was a must to stop and say hello to his family (that would be us); because, hello, the Canyon is in our backyard, practically! I really enjoyed meeting his buds, they seem like cool cats, and have a great bond with each other. I got to learn stuff about them...like, yes, they are all married, and yes they all have kids. Got to know what they all do for a living, you know, the basics. We showed them around our property and what we all have to offer..you know...windmill, 1951 Chevy water truck, a pond with koi; oh and chickens...how about a railroad and a great steam engine...they were all impressed :o) Of course Jeff gave them all train rides with the steamer. Blake insisted he needed to check the amount of "power" the engine had to offer! I also got to play them my most recent composition, and they all loved it, saying they could feel my emotion in the music, and the power it had. I could really see my music being appreciated in Blake's eyes, which, in turn, makes me feel appreciated. So, since Blake's friends liked my music, I gave them each, one of my original Cd's, to take home with them. So all in all, it was a great visit. Now we owe Blake a visit to his home, in San Diego! Haven't been there in over 10 years, and would really love to get back there. So the Law-Dog and I will have to figure that out! Good times. Good times.
