Joliet


Joliet

So, one of the fun things about Lee's house concert in joliet is that she always asks if anyone wants to stay for dinner. Usually there will be a small group of people that stay and we end up having a sweet dinner with good wine and pasta.

This time when she asked.....22 people said yes!!! Talk about making the food stretch.....never mind the table. Here we all are, squished all close together, listening to good stories while eating yummy food. 'Church' at its finest.

I think the greatest thing that house concerts provide is community. A moment to have your soul, heart, and body fed before heading out into the world again. Its a mini oasis.

We now sit in the van for the three hour drive to indiana, talking about the week that's been and what's to come. Ready to do a serious work out to stretch out our bodies and have the next three days off to set up our space, catch up with friends, rehearse a little and make some new musekraft pieces ready for the virginia womens music festival this weekend. Its going to be a busy summer and we are excited by all the opportunities coming our way.

Yay people, yay. Tis all I can say....
