We saw Over the Rhine last night in Omaha. It was a last-minute kind of thing and I’m soooo very grateful we got to go. It was a fun ride up and back with the Koenigs, and of course the concert was great. Oh to sing like Karin Bergquist! That woman has amazing control of her voice, say nothing of her stage presence. (Jeremy asked me where she was from and I’m now reading on the OtR website of her “torchy, devil-may-care voice, brimming with Midwestern soul.” There ya have it, JT.) I foresee more Over the Rhine albums in my future.
Today feels nothing like a Tuesday. Sunday morning perhaps, but definitely not Tuesday. Tuesdays have responsibilities and schedules and chores and so far I’ve polished off a large quantity of Diet Mountain Dew, assisted in DVD playing for Liv, and watched a giant spider wrap up it’s prey in the flower garden. Tuesday, really? Tuesday-after-a-Monday-night-date? Yes, definitely.
Now if only I can squeeze a nap in between reading some Harry Potter and avoiding the dishes piled up in my sink.

Karin is from Ohio (hence her song “Ohio” that she wrote about leaving it at the age of 17). Probably somewhere near Cincinnati, since that is where the area of town is, whence the band acquired their name (Over-the-Rhine).
I’m with you–I need to do a lot of stuff, but it just doesn’t feel like a Tuesday.
But Monday was so worth it. :)

Rebecca-Not sure if you remember us…Doug and Kara Butte?? I saw your name on Megan Dunham’s Facebook page. Megan is a homeschooling friend of mine and her husband works with Doug at Westminster here in St. Louis…we were at Seminary with you and Jeremy years ago….seems like another lifetime, eh? Found your blog here…your pictures are beautiful! Doug’s parents are actually in Lincoln, so I have thought of you and Jeremy many times on our trips back…How are you all? Looks like being a Mommy, wife, writer, and photographer keep you busy. Fun to connect with you–Blessings, Kara

Hi Kara! Of course I remember you and Doug (and a great pancake dinner over 11 years ago). I’m going to track you down on Facebook now. : )
