This week we went back into the studio to start working on a new album! Here are a few snapshots…

On Stage…sorta
Well, I had intended to do a post on our recent concert at the SW Mississippi Forestry Awards Banquet, but (as usual when I plan something ahead of time)… due to random unforeseen events, there was no one available to take pictures while we were on stage. So that was awesome. Instead we have shots of set up, sound check, and tearing down….
The usual configuration of one person tuning, other people setting up equipment, and *some people* standing around. Ahem!

“The List'”… it’s like an external memory and typically located on the floor at our feet… hey, whatever works.
Did I just say something about some people standing around?!
Yes, we have frequently been told that we closely resemble the Darlings… straight faces, and all that.
This was during the dinner and speeches that followed our music. Thanks for the great food, y’all!
Someday I’m going to write a book about all the random stuff that happens in our diversified family, mostly involving concerts… you know, stuff like leaving instruments at home, getting halfway through a set before realizing some kid had messed with our sound board and we were majorly hurting the audience’s ears and our reputation, being compared to people like the afore mentioned Darlings, the von Trapps, Loretta Lynn, and Randy Travis, Lana flat ironing her hair in two minutes in a church bathroom on a particularly hectic morning, and people *mistakenly* assuming that two of our older kids were a couple and that our youngest was their child… memories, that’s for sure!
Thanks for stopping by!

A little more progress…
So I did it! (I’m Allison, not Lana this time) After Lana began painting our living room four years ago, she left all the rest of the ugly rooms to me. (thanks, Lan!) Anyway, although it took a very long time, I finally painted the last room- the bathroom no one ever sees! Paint makes a big difference all by itself, although there’s still more to do. Here are a few pics:
Before… and After!!
In progress
Multi-tasking :) Coffee is always appropriate!
It’s so gratifying to look at a finished job!
