Full weekend and a farewell to Back Porch Revival

I had a bunch of fun this weekend!

It started with nailing my final tempo run and then tree decorating at Mom and Dad's house.

Saturday morning was the annual THS Band craft fair, where I bought a couple gifts and some yummy candies for myself.

After some work at home, Brad, Dad, Lindsey and I hit the trails at Tryon for an hour of foggy, sweaty fun. It was a beautiful, drippy afternoon. Loved it!

Sunday was a 5:30 a.m. wake-up call for handbells at Newberg Friends.

After a nap and more house work (the bathroom remodel is ALMOST DONE!), I went with Mom and Eryn to the farewell concert for Back Porch Revival. 

Gene Greer was the first producer I ever worked for in the TV news biz. He sent me home crying the first day but ended up being my mentor and a long-time friend. I've seen his band play many times, and when I heard they are taking a break, I couldn't miss their final concert.

Since we were at Mississippi Pizza, we had to partake!

Front man, Gene:

The band played a solid 2-hour set, playing originals and standards. It was a great show - so glad we could be there!

BPR - you'll sure be missed!!
