Sorry.....

For those of you who are diligently following my blog, my apologies.  Internet is hard to find on the road.  I'd go to a coffee shop that has free wi-fi, but most of the towns that we've been in don't even have coffee shops!!  I'm having an amazing time.  Last week we were in Salem Illinois and I have never been so hot in my life! ICK!!  We were in a really cool renovated old movie theater, but the air conditioning decided to stop working and it was at least 85 to 90 degrees the entire time we were there.  It was disgusting.  You literally just raise your arms above your head and you're soaked.  Dripping.  It was hardly worth taking a shower in the morning.  Ish.  I felt really bad for the kids on show day.  They finally got the air conditioning working before the first show, but then between the first and second shows something happened and it ended up being sweltering backstage for the kids.  They were exhausted, sweaty and encased from head to toe in polyester fabric.  I felt awful for them.  By the time the show was over they couldn't be happier that it was time to change.  We stayed with the most amazing couple.  Beve and Don.  They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything and I mean eerything was just how we needed it to be.  Beve cooked for us and Don grilled and they even took us out to breakfast on the day we were leaving.  Super sweet and it really felt like we were at home there.  It was really nice.  They also had a small lake just out their back door that we got to float on whenever we wanted to.  It amazes me that in the towns we go to there are people just waiting to open their doors to us.  It's crazy.  We are complete strangers to them and yet they open their homes and theaters to us with open arms.  I can't believe it.
