Saturday and Sunday April 11 and 12, 2009

Early this afternoon I had an appointment for my orientation at Cadence Riding.  It is out in one of my favorite parts of town.  I have to drive a road that I think I've mentioned before . . . Epitome Road, I call it.  Thirty years ago, I thought that country road with its cattle, sheep, and horses was the epitome of why I moved to Durango.  I arrive at the house about five minutes early, and find it curious there are no other cars there.  When the door opens, and I say, "Cadence Riding?" she says, "Yes, but it was canceled.  No one called you?"  I guess not!  I was disappointed, but it was a nice drive on my favorite road!

As I'm driving back home, my phone rings.  It's the woman who lives in the Mancos house that I want to rent.  I had called to tell her that I was going to be in Mancos on Monday and to see if there was any way I could see it then.  She said yes!  Awesome!  Some things just work out perfectly!

I get home and am still exhausted from yesterday's hike and concert setup.  I actually sneak in a nap before the concert!  It felt great, and was exactly what I needed!  I arrive at the concert before 6:30, and walk past security and everyone else like I belong there.  I walk through the doors with no one saying a word, and then proceed to the bleacher area that we were told has the best line of sight and the best sound in the place!  Susan, one of the other girls in the volunteer group, is already there.  We have a long wait.  Katy, the other girl in the group arrives soon after and entertains us.  She's a funny twenty-four year old.  

The concert is great!  During my favorite songs, I close my eyes and visualize the things I want in life.  The songs make me feel pure joy which, in theory, should bring the things I want into my life!  I'll let you know if it works!  

When the concert ends, our labors begin.  First step was taking down all the chairs.  Then, we had to dismantle the stage, and in between carry or push stuff out to the trucks . . . in the snow.  Not bad, though.  I kept busy, and basically had a great time.  The producer of the show thanked all of us and shook our hands.  Met a couple interesting men .  . . but, nothing interesting to report here!  I got home late, tired but after having a great evening.

Sunday

I get up late, and am too tired to do almost anything.  I think about going to the movies, but I'm too tired even for that.  I see that Pam has turned the hot tub back on, so I might go in there later and vege out.  I'm exhausted.  Still.

Rosemary brought me over an Easter basket!  That was so thoughtful!
