We have been traveling to different festivals from Missouri to Iowa, all the way to Virginia and more.  Making new friends and visiting with old.  People like the Balyeat family, the Meyers, the Wissmans, and our good friends the Punches and the Harper family.  On our very first day at the Dixon Missouri Bluegrass Festival it rained and poured.  But nonetheless, "The show must go on".  And yes, it did.  We opened up the night with rain pouring down on the roof above us, and streaming off the umbrellas and rain jackets of our devoted audience.  We pulled out songs like "Rain please go away", and "Missouri Rain", and as things rolled along the rain actually happened to slow down.  Imagine that!  The next day was beautiful. The sun was shining, and the weather was great.  That is until later on in the day when the thermometer dropped about 30-40 degrees.  Next thing you know people were pulling out their jackets and sweatshirts to keep warm.  I guess Summer is just about over, so get ready, winter will be here before you know it!
