Girls Night Out

                              My girls and by my girls I mean my two daughters don't often get a chance to do things just the three of us. My oldest may still live at home, but she's got a life of her own. Between her job, her friends and the boyfriend sometimes it seems as if "home" is just a crash pad. I get to spend more time with my youngest, but even that time gets less and less as she gets older, so when it was announced that one of our favorite bands was coming to town we jumped at the chance to have a mother/daughter night out.
                               We're lucky to have a decent sized venue to attract some good music groups even though our town isn't all that big. Every few years this band comes through and since the first time we saw them we make a point to catch them whenever they come to town.  Last time we saw them we swore that next time we would be down on the floor so we could move about and dance more easily, but Mr. D ordered the tickets and he wanted me to be able to sit if my leg started to bother me. I promised the girls that next time we will be on the floor no matter what.
                                We all had a good time while Dad and the boyfriend were left to fend for themselves. Not to worry they survived without us and my girls and I got a chance to bond. Today things are back to normal, the girls are back to their own lives and Mom is on the sidelines, but I'm left with a nice memory until the next time.
                          This is one of the songs they preformed last night. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
                            Shinedown " I'll Follow You Down."

  1. Sounds awesome. I wouldn't be caught dead at a concert My mom wanted to go to. Our music tastes differ WAY too much! But I love those mother/daughter(s) times.

    1. My mom's taste in music is waaay different than mine too, although as I get older I appreciate some of the stuff she listens to.

  2. Those mother/daughter times sure are special. My two girls are grown women, but every once in a while we manage a girl's weekend...

  3. Its so nice that you got to share that time. It reminds one to make more time with her own mom since it is precious.

    1. It makes me realize I don't get to see my mom enough. We just made a lunch date so we can catch up.

    1. I'm so lucky that they still are willing to hang out with me and we can have fun together.

    1. Thanks, we did enjoy ourselves. This is our third time seeing Shinedown together _ it's sort of become a tradition.
