Day 3 of the Spot tour in Perry

You just gotta love it. David and Daniel have played to at least a half dozen audiences in two days and tonight filled the auditorium. You could see lots of kids and folks who had been at earlier events and came back for more. And then there were lots who came to see what the hoopla was all about.

I was videotaping tonight and shooting photos at the back by the door and after it started a girl came in and had four quarters in her hand. The ticket price was one dollar for kids and she had her dollar and asked me who she should pay. She gave Donna her money and then slipped into a seat. It was a barely a split second before she was laughing and completely into the show. That is David and Daniel. Then there was the older couple who came up afterward to say they really enjoyed the show and she had taught 5th grade. Then there were all the kids who had seen enough already to have a favorite story and hoped a request might let them hear it one more time. And the row of adults that came together. And the Spot Reporter and her sister always in their Spot t-shirt. Wow. I could go on and on but just let me say that it seemed to me that the community of Perry with all its age and cultural variations was well represented. To quote David and repeat from last night: sweeeet.

I hope to get a bunch of photos up on the website real soon of the Perry visit. It is so hard to find the time needed to get it done while on the road but it is so good to see images and jog the memory.Good to relive the good times!

So now we will spend the rainy and windy night here and then be on our way. It is so good to spend time in one place. And then the time always comes to move on. Kind of like what David and his stories have been teaching us this week. Kind of like life.
