Seems we’re always packing. This time it’s so we can head to the Midland Dulcimer Festival. This time is a fairly easy chore (unlike Evart when we take everything imaginable). I also find it easier when we use our trailer because so much is already “in place.”

We’ll be leaving tomorrow (early) for the fairgrounds in Midland. That’ll be Wednesday. We’ll stay until Sunday. Festivals are always as much “work” for us as they are “fun.” For this one John’s in charge so he has a lot of responsibilities. I don’t have anything official to do except organize and emcee the Saturday night stage show. I also hang around our campsite so I can monitor the copy machine. John, on the other hand, works really hard. He’s always on the go.

Oh, yes, and we also have the Concert tomorrow night at Haithco Park in Saginaw Township. The Concert is kind of the kickoff for the festival and it’s our baby.

We’ve been kind of worn out all day today. Yesterday we were on the local TV channel (TV-5) during their morning show. It was a live broadcast so we had to be up at 3:55!! We were on the air several times between 5:15 and 6:45 – yup, that’s A.M. We promoted the Wednesday concert at Haithco Park and the festival.

When we get back from the festival, we’ll start thinking about our trip to Florida. We leave two weeks from today. I’m determined to simplify our Florida preparation. I want it to eventually just take an hour or two to pack. More and more stuff stays at the condo and we don’t need to bring it back and forth. We’re getting it down to a science.
