GOODBYE TO '09/HAPPY NEW YEAR |
|
December 31st,
2009 |

Alot of folks are glad to see 2009 come to an end. It was a hard year financially for lots of good people, losing their homes and/or their jobs.
The Drovers Old Time Medicine Show certainly took a hit financially, but we fared better than most bands in this area.
But, I will always look fondly on this year, for I reconnected with, and won the heart of, my darling Stephanie.
I lost her 27 years ago because of my stupid actions and regretted it every day. I was once a punk rocker, but turned to country and bluegrass as I pined over Stephanie, and started writing songs to her. Every night on stage, there were moments where I sang with a heavy heart, a dreadfully deep sadness, as I thought of Stephanie.
But, one day this past summer I was sitting aroung bored and joined Facebook. Her name was the first name I typed in, and there she was. I hadn't talked to her in 26 years. We started emailing and talking on the phone, and, well, we are to be married in late spring, or early summer. The first time I layed eyes on her back in 1980, when we were college students working in Harcombe dining hall on the campus of Clemson University, I thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. And I still think that every time I look at her.
My greatest wish has come true. I can no longer be the pessimestic, cynical, wallowing in lonlinesss guy who took pride in being a lonely loser. I now believe in miracles. I now believe that anything is possible. I now think happy endings are possible for even somebody like me.
So, while some of y'all may look back on '09 with bad feelings, I will will always remember this year as the year my life took an amazingly happy turn.
And 2010 is gonna be even better!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

PURTIEST, and NEWEST MEMBER OF THE BEARS DEN/GRANDPA'S DREAM COMES TRUE |
|

 Grandpa is happy that Stephanie has joined The Bears Den! She has been coming to The Drovers' farm to watch Da Bears on Sunday afternoons, well, actually, she shows up early in the morning for coffee and to help Grandpa hang the Bears flag on the front porch.
During halftime of the games, when everyone goes out to toss the 'ol pigskin around, Stephanie's crisp passes are, what can only be described as, "Cutleresque". And her pass catching abilities and moves would make Devin Hester and Greg Olsen envious!
Stephanie and Grandpa were in love 26 years ago, and a few months ago re-met. The love they had carried in their hearts all those years for each other was immediately reignited, making Grandpa the happiest, and luckiest, man on earth.
