Wow! What a trip Toni! I am so envious! Have a great time!!!

I'll spend half the day driving to Turtle Lake to see my Dad. The neighbors around the lake will shoot off fireworks at night, and I'll watch them, while trying to calm Gizmo. Gizmo will stay inside. Our big celebration is Friday. I'll be cooking for 13 people, my family, for dinner. Dad and my brother haven't seen Miles since he was one month old!

I prefer to rock out to an electric, but sometimes I'm in the mood for the mellower acoustic.

Happy Birthday SG!

I never cared for The Golden Rose, maybe because the instrumentals are haunting?

What are your plans for the 4th of July?

Yes, Amber! We could do a home exchange for a week! I'll enjoy Georgia, and you can discover Milwaukee and Cedarburg! I'm glad you're getting time off to vacation!

^ Me too, Mikeyt! I would love to see the coast of Georgia!

Going to Dad's this week for the 4th and the Turtle Lake Fair with son, DIL, and grandson. The 13th a friend I haven't seen in years is coming down to Cedarburg from Green Bay to spend the day with me. The 16th Dad is coming to Cedarburg to spend a few days. The 27th I have my friend's son's wedding back home by my dad's in Turtle Lake. In between all that, I'll be watching Miles! He's growing like a weed!

Happy Birthday Kay! Rock on, girl!!

Marion, here's what TwinCities.com said about the Smithereens in a Minneapolis show review: http://www.twincities.com/music/ci_23569890/tom-petty-and-heartbreakers-bring-both-fiery-roar?IADID=Search-www.twincities.com-www.twincities.com

No, I think the reviewer was very unfair, calling them fat and slow, horrible thing to say! They can't help being older; we all are, but they're still rockin' unlike the writer! I thought they were fun and happy to be there!

^^Yes, Barb, we'll definitely have to another time! So glad to hear you had such a great show!

Just a shout out to Patti (dreamgirl)! It was so nice seeing you again after the show, and meeting your husband!

Wow after following this band's live shows since 1999, I got to hear my favorite song for the first time - Rebels! Awww, it was a great show! I've always wanted to hear A Woman in Love, and it was just excellent! Benmont shone brightly on Melinda! I loved the concert and I loved sharing it with my boys and with so many friends from the various fanclubs! Our planned meet-up didn't work out. I give up on organizing them for Summerfest. It's too hard to have one on the grounds instead of in a restaurant. But I saw lots of people at the show that I knew. Summerfest 6/28: 1. So You Want to be a Rock n' Roll Star 2. Love is a Long Road 3. I Won't Back Down 4. Baby Please Don't Go 5. Here Comes My Girl 6. Mary Jane's Last Dance 7. Free Fallin' 8. A Woman in Love 9. Cabin Down Below 10. Tweeter and the Monkey Man 11. Rebels 12. Melinda 13. Learning to Fly 14. Yer So Bad 15. I Should Have Known It 16. Refugee 17. Runnin Down a Dream Encore: 18. Don't Come Around Here No More 19. You Wreck Me 20. American Girl One more show and the tour is finished. I can't believe it; it seems to me like it's been going on so long. I wish I could be at Minneapolis, but I'm glad I don't have to get up early and drive there. I'm fried. Talk to you guys tomorrow, I'm sure. Good night!
