Sat night (Sept 3) I went to an amphitheater and watched several story book tellers --
well "Tell stories" talk about funny--it was like stand up commedians only very clean and the stories came from some of there backgrounds (so they say--but then they may just be telling a story--ha no pun intended) anyhow--it was entertaining and fun...and this may surprise you..but
I made some new friends as I sat watching the pre-show and saving my seat for the real show
their names were LK and Ken all the way from grandjunction. Colorado--just to be a part of the Festival...They had some much to tell--both retired, both love ballroom dancing--they compete as does their grandaughter and daughter and so three generations were on the dance floor--compteting last June.. they do all sorts of things--from Zumba dancing to weight lifting to areobics of all kinds. LK used to be a dance teacher and PE teacher and Ken has is professional ballet (before he retired) One of their daughters now teaches dance as a profession--anyhow they were colorful and fun and they said how "delightful" it had been to visit with me--so I hope I represented Utah people well--by being interested in them---I wanted to work in a little missionary work--but it pretty much just ended up-- taking an interest in them and visiting.
Another fun part of the night was meeting up with my college roomate and friend --Karen Acerson and being re-introduced to her family that has grown all to adulthood--and I haven't talked to many of them in years--as they have been in Rome Italy. It was fun to chat with her
she is on the commitee for the story teller festival and I could see where she sat down not too far from me--with her family --after welcoming the audience to the presentation.
