Sarah Getto is an awesome performer

Tonight we went to a concert by Sarah Getto. She is 25 and blind. She was born blind and with a severe cleft palate. She went to a regular school and on to college and graduated with a degree to teach music. This gal is amazing! Her voice is indescribable! We met her dad Mike last night right after they had pulled into the park and we talked to him for quite some time. We so enjoyed talking to him and learning about his daughter and the life of music she is sharing with us RVer's. She sang Karen Carpenter songs, Anne Murray songs, Captain and Tennille songs, Patsy Cline songs and others. She is so talented. She does all of her own background music and vocals. She taught herself to play the piano at age 3 and the fiddle at age 10. This is her dad with the electric fiddle she plays. Notice how different it looks.

She was amazing to listen to. She played an instrumental song that she had written herself.  Mike, her dad really enjoys himself in the show. He backed her up in a couple of songs by playing the base guitar. And he even sang a song with her. If you ever have the opportunity to see her in concert, please do so.

Now onto some other news. Rick went golfing Monday and as he went to hit a drive off of a tee, the guys with him asked him what had just happened. This is what they were talking about. His ball broke in two. I have never seen this happen before and I don’t recall my dad ever talking about this happening either. And my dad played a lot of golf. At least now we know what the inside of the golf ball looks like.

And then we had fish on Monday for dinner. Now this is the plate of Lake Erie Perch that we brought with us from OH. So sorry Don that we did not have you over for dinner. Maybe next time. Rick took this picture but did not take one of the fish after it was cooked. And of course it all got eaten.  Yum!!!!

Tomorrow we have our Sorry Dear golf outing. This is getting more popular every month. The sign up sheet got filled up the first day it was posted. Maybe next year we will have this outing twice a month instead of only once.

Rick got a call from his sister today and his cousin’s 17 year old daughter was found dead. Apparently she was very athletic and she had gotten a bruise on her leg. Well, a blood clot developed and broke loose and went to her lungs. Our hearts and prayers go out to Jill and her husband, I’m sorry I cannot remember his name at this time. Uncle Tom and Aunt Katie, we are thinking of you at this time. We are so sorry we are not there to console you. Please keep this family in your prayers.
