Little Texas During Fair Week & A Ramble About Humidity!

Thursday of Fair Week we had the band LITTLE TEXAS on the stage performing!  They were a cool group of guys, too!  Music-wise they were the loudest of the 3 groups we had there that week.

The week of fair was a good one eventho it was OVERLY humid and was pouring for the 2nd half of the week which made for a muddy mess by Saturday Night.

It was FUNNY because Tim Foust from Home Free said that he was from the HUMID SOUTH where it was 90 percent humidity and he wasn't sure WHAT or HOW the humidity in our area was doing what it was doing the night he was performing.  We reached over 110% humidity somehow! LOL

When I visit the southern states and it's in the 90s I LOVE it because it's what I consider to be a DRY HEAT and people just don't understand OUR humidity until they experience it.  I ADORE hot weather - I'm just not a fan of pairing it with our heavy humidity!  I remember going to Utah when I was in college and it being 117 degrees at 8pm.  I LOVED it!  Why!?  No humidity.  It felt like it was 80 degrees to me.  That's probably another reason I LOVE Las Vegas!  It can be 120 degrees and DRY and I enjoy it!

There were times this summer - here - where it was 74 degrees with 98% humidity and it felt like it was 100 and you couldn't breathe.  SO STRANGE the weather we've been seeing the last several years.  But that's another conversation.

Today - I will leave you with a LITTLE TEXAS Video...have a great weekend!

Life Has Been Moving Too Fast...

Life has been moving too fast the last month or more!  I wanted to check in before being offline again for another almost 2 weeks!  I have a LOT on tap over the next two weeks including the Warren County Fair.  

If you type in CONCERT in the search bar you will see that I not only enjoy going to concerts when I am able - I also help with the entertainment during our local county fair.  This year we have 3 solid acts!  Collin Raye on Tuesday, Home Free on Wednesday, and Little Texas on Thursday!  

After the fair is over I will surely update you on the shows and hopefully have some photos to go along with the stories.  Personally I am MOST excited about Home Free.  The first photo I posted was of Home Free, the Collin Raye, then Little Texas!

In other news - Paco is trucking along eventho he has ongoing health issues.  Once fair is over we will start tweaking his Predisone Meds because he's been on a high dosage for his ITP/IHMA Immune issues for close to 2 years it has now caused him to develop steroid induced Cushings. Next step is to do an extremely slow tappering of the steriods down to a lower mg per day.  The last time we did this it didn't work but that was nearly 2 years ago and it was an instant tweak in meds.  The vet - who has diagnosed him - and has been great since - has worked with us to make sure his blood levels are in check.  We will ALL be monitoring Paco's changes while trying to minimize the mg's of steroids per day over 6 month increments to make sure his immune system doesn't bottom out again while trying to also combat the Cushings issues.  I've said it before and I will say it again and again...Paco is more of a fighter than I will EVER be!  Every day we have him in our lives is a blessing!
