I was able to spend a few moments between gigs on Sunday just walking through the small town of Ridgeway as the folks there wrapped up their end of summer celebration.

Summer skies.

I love small towns.  I love their summer festivals and the opportunity they present to spend time either with or watching the people that come out who are the fabric and backbone of these communities ..

Not afraid to be the only couple dancing ..

Dancing to the band ..

This couple apparently isn’t shy, I’ve heard they are well known around the area.  Dancing wherever and whenever they can.  And there is nothing shy about them despite the fact all eyes might be looking their way as they grind on the gravel floor.   Yes, grind.

Creative way of getting to the event ..

It’s been a beautiful summer of music ..  

And Sunday with the trio, we played a couple of wonderful gigs starting with the outdoor terrace at a dear friends vineyard ..

Refreshments for the band…

Guest appearances.

A great place for families, we had a couple adorable girls join us onstage for a few songs.

Cheese and crackers provided by the anniversary couple ..

‘Officially off the market’ ..

I believe that was the FB post, verbatim, from a dear friend this past 4th of July.  The last of our core group of college roommates to fall … truly in love .. and tie the knot.

It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day .. and we were all so glad to have the chance to reconnect.

It was Simple.  Sweet.  The wedding.  The news from another roommate of a baby on the way.  Updates from each of us otherwise on life and our families.  So blessed by their friendships.

Just a beautiful day.
