Traveling through the last few weeks with thoughts\u00a0mostly\u00a0of Ann and her upcoming birthday; which occurred on August 17th. It all began with a trip up the coast to Sheboygan, WI to introduce Jim Proue and David White. I’d thought it would be fun to have them sing and play at Ann’s little surprise family birthday celebration. They’d never played together yet hit the mark right from the get-go.

The night before the party we went to hear Tracy Chapman at the Pabst Theartre. Without doubt – the most incredible concert I’ve ever attended. Ms. Chapman (and her band) performed flawlessly; and actually “better than” the original studio recordings. (click image for larger view – Slide Show of a few “intermission” images<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Of course it took a few phone calls to invite the family; a bit tidying up,\u00a0arranging for food and\u00a0errands with Erin’s help; \u00a0and then – the party sort of just happened. (click image for larger view – Slide show of additional party images)<\/a><\/p>\n

The day after the party Ann did her annual Irish Fest. Below we see one of Ann’s customers \u2014 not showing off his hair cut \u2014 but rather performing a fine Irish kick. (click image for larger view – Slide show of additional Irish Fest images<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Then it was getting ready for a four day road trip to the beautiful Mississippi River hills and valleys in Northwestern Illinois, Eastern Iowa and Southwestern Wisconsin. (click image for larger view – Slide show of additional river trip images<\/a>)<\/p>\n
