...and She sings...

It really had been a real nice day. No rain, not to hot, not to cold. I decided I was going to go and just have fun. Tim was undecided, so he chose to sleep in. I left him the tv remotes, his cell phone and peace n' quiet. I packed up my cameras, some extra clothes and headed out to the Levy County Fair.

My dear friend, Karen whom I met at Gainesville Mom's.com is singing today at the fair. She is part of a singing contest. I've heard her sing before and knew she could sing well....well actually good or better than that...Awesome!!! So I wanted to go hear her sing some more and record it. She had just had a CD made, was about ready to start marketing and selling it. Mostly gospel music, but it didn't matter, her talent was beyond words.

I ran a little late because I had no cash on me. So I had to find a bank and get cash. Fortunately, when I arrived, they were just starting, even if I was 20 minutes late. Actually I was there on time, just to find a bank is what ate up my precious time. Karen was #3 to get up and sing. The ladies before her we doing good...and I knew this was going to be a tough competition. Her best friend and partner for their ministry was #20. I wanted to hear her sing too. Just as Karen was getting up to sing, my cell phone rang. I thought it would be Tim, but instead it was my sister, Jeanette. I told her I would call her back. As Karen sang, I video tapped it and took some shots. She was doing good. I kept whispering a prayer for her. But she did good! really good in my eyes.



Right before I had left to the county fair, I had checked my email. I had recieved an email from an old friend that I had not seen for over 25 years. He had sent me a track that he had recorded. He was pretty good and I loved the song he sang.



But now it was Karen's turn to sing...and when she finished, she deligently sat back down next to her family. I walked around a bit, got my hearing and vision checked. Tasted the BBQ hot dogs and sausage and went back to the tent. Her friend (sorry forgot name) still had not sang yet, they were only on #9 when Tim called. I was disappointed that I didn't get to hear her sing. I hope to one day, if not, at least the Cd.


Tommarrow, she sings at the fair again, but gospel music this time. I wish I can go back to hear her sing some more. But there is still much to do in helping Tim finish his class projects.

*** Karen won first place for the gospel songs on Sunday!!! Yeah!!!!! She did it! ***

Besides....CJ is suppose to be back from her Cruise...I want to hear all about it!
