Clay Walker in Greenville!

I bet not many of my friends can hear the name "Clay Walker" without thinking of my sister and me. We have been following him for 15 years....seen him in concert countless times, met him, won an autographed guitar, and had pictures taken with him. He's probably a little afraid of us by now. But we didn't let that stop us from seeing him at The Blind Horse here in Greenville. Best Clay show ever! The venue is pretty small and we were able to get really close to the stage. Plus, Clay played some of our favorite old school songs....one of which we'd never heard live before. Hee haw!!! What a great evening. Alison, Hayes, Mom, Dad and Nanny all came up from Atlanta. Mom, Dad and Nanny babysat while my sister and I got to experience a rare late night out. Too funny, though....a strong storm was rolling through right as we were getting ready to leave for the bar. Not wanting to look like drowned rats for Clay, we begged Dad to drive us and drop us off at the door. After the show (past midnight--poor Dad!), we called good ole' Alan and he came back to pick us up. I had vivid flashbacks of pre-license days. Alison and I had a good laugh while standing outside waiting for him. 30 years old, married mothers waiting outside a bar for their father to drive them home. Even better than not getting caught in the rain was being able to have a few drinks without any worries of getting pulled over or stopped at a checkpoint. Having to care for a 10 month old and 12 month old in the morning pretty much ensures you won't drink too much, but it was nice to have a few beers and know that we would definitely be getting home safely.
