One story...

[rowangolightly]

...from this weekend, before I make the actual WEDDING WEEKEND post.

On Sunday, we shared the stage with Whirly Jig as Tullamore was at the Irish Festival. It was SUCH a treat getting to flip back and forth with them, since we each got to listen to one anothers' shows and sometimes participate a bit. More on that later...

But this story occurred in the afternoon as Whirly Jig was leaving the stage and QG was taking it. An adorable little red-headed girl, about 7 or 8, was sitting on the second row with her family. Just as margotdevallier turned to leave, this child piped up, "I loved your songs!" and I wasn't sure she'd heard so I grabbed her sleeve to turn her back around. The child repeated it and Margot beamed and thanked her back. She and I looked at each other, smiling and a bit teary-eyed. I said, "THAT'S why we do this!" She nodded and we further cemented that she and I simply love one another, before she turned to go.

Yeah, THAT's why we do this...

That will make you melt.

I loved the songs I heard the Whirly Jigs too. I should have bought a CD.

Elanor *loves* WhirlyJig and she has since she was an itty bitty kid. She was thrilled to see them again this past weekend and claimed she remembered seeing them before when she was "just a little baby." A feather from Margot's hat (I think it was Margot) was one of Elanor's first favors. She still has it.

Yep. You guys all make a huge impact on these kids. {{{hugs}}}

Awwwww *kicks a little pile of dust with shoe*
I love you all too! We had the best time and we will be back ,it's just a question of when.
Another really beautiful thing happened while I was waiting in line to enter the Reception pavillion....
-Rewind-
2 years ago WJ did the whole run of FLARF. There was an absolutley beautiful tee-ninesy little gnome-girl that came to a few of our shows with her folks and I gave her a feather out of my hat each time i saw her.
-Fast Forward-
I borrowed a glow stick from a girl to help locate a pendant that had fallen off Merlot's necklace, we didn't find it. I returned the glow stick to the little girl's dad who was talking to Steve. Turns out that the little girl was the 4 year old version of the little gnome girl and her dad thanked me again for the feathers and we snapped a photo and said "my isn't it a small world"
it gets smaller and more cozy all the time :D
