Josh Turner Concert

 

                               

About three or four months ago, my best friend Janell called me and left a messege saying that she had just gotten tickets for October to go see county music singer, Josh Turner. I was so excited, because we both love him and adore the way he sings. After waiting and waiting, the night finally came last night. Janell and her mom, Janet, came over and picked me up and then we went to pick up Janell's sister, Joy.  From there, we went to the FOX theater and found a good parking space and  went in and found our seats. We had pretty good seats. We sat in row 11, so we had a good view of the stage.We were there for about thirty to forty minutes until things actually got started. When it did actually start,  new country music singer, Caitlin Linney came out first and sang a few of her songs. She was alright, but we wanted to see Josh. When he finally came out, it was great. The concert lasted about two hours and it was really fun to be there. He sang a lot of songs, including Long Black Train, Time is Love and many  others. All in all,  it was a very nice time. Not only did I get to see one of  my favorite singers, but I got to spend some quality time with good friends.

    

Reunion Weekend

Back in 1997, I went to Taft College and attended the Transition to Independent Living program. It is a program that teaches people with disabilities how to live on our own. Every five years, they put together a reunion for all of the alumni who attended in the past. This past weekend, I went to my third reunion. They had it at the Marriot hotel in downtown Bakersfield.  Everyone met up around five on Saturday evening in the front lobby for social hour. There were a lot of people, most I knew and others from graduated classes after me. Around six, we gathered in the banquet room where we were served dinner. During dinner, Sandy, who is the program director, stood up and spoke about TIL, how she was happy to see all of us and how much we have grown in the past years. Jeff, Director of Student Support Services at Taft College, was not able to make the reunion.  He made a video of himself which we saw on screen at the reunion.  He was in the middle of construction of the newTIL building.  He explained to us where the new dorms were going to be and the classes, and then he wished us all well. After dinner, we had our dance and basically everyone danced, mingled with friends, so on and so forth. The dance ended around 11:30, when we all went back to our hotel rooms. The Marriot was booked for the weekend, so I stayed at the Hill House across the street, along with a few others who booked their own rooms.
