New York and a barn dance

My life swings wildly.


I've been in New York again.
My agent, Alicia Dauber and I found lots of interest from our favorite companies, an honor I will never take for granted.


And then suddenly I was home.
I jumped off the shuttle and was off to a barn dance.
New York seemed suddenly a world away.


What a magical evening.


There is nothing more Americana than a barn dance.
A dance with little ones and grandparents and everyone in between.


What a perfect way to celebrate a special graduation.
What a perfect way to celebrate life!







All across America, in small towns everywhere, we gather with friends and family, old and young, and celebrate the simple pleasures.



Will we ever forget those golden evenings and the moments we've shared?



The joy of gathering. 
Toes tapping.
Simple food and honest laughter.



 

Friends, family and like-family.


This was one of those evenings when time seems to stand still.
You want the moment to last forever.
 

Sometimes I catch myself counting my blessings and hardly daring to believe how heaped-over-and-running-over are the gifts of ordinary life.
