happy but sad
i am happy because i am here – St John US Virgin Island
this is a shot off of the deck of our room
nice huh!
i am sad beacuse after 20years in a row of touring
the Dave Mattews Band will take the year 2011 off
they will be back on tour in 2012 but a year without DMB for me…..
i think i might need therapy………….
i have seen DMB since 1997 – every year!
other then fabric, sewing & quilting – DMB is my other passion
