2008 Spring/Summer Tour - Day 118

Becca's rash was very much improved this morning... hardly noticeable even... so we were very relieved about that. But now Evee has some kind of rash on the corners of her mouth, which is apparently angular cheilitis, so we've been applying some antifungal cream and will have to get her looked at if it doesn't improve.

We hung out in the bus and at the RV park for most of the day, going out to the playground for a while. We stopped at a Subway for dinner, then went to my show at the Whitmore Library. We were met there by Julie Hanks (aka Julie de Azevedo), who was there to interview me and film some of my show for her Home Team talk show. I was thrilled to meet her, as she is an amazing inspirational singer/songwriter and her Home CD is one of my very favorite albums. She is super nice and we talked for a while, but had to cram the actual interview into just a couple of minutes as the video guy didn't make it there until just before my show.

The show went really well, with a terrific audience and lots of enthusiasm from the kids and adults alike. Afterwards, we went out for ice cream with our good friend, Mark Hansen, and his kids. Mark is a great performer and songwriter and rocks out with incredible passion, and his sons, Brendon and Jacob, are the real-life embodiment of the term "brotherly love". They were featured on a local news segment not long ago, and it was an awesome piece that made me cry. Check it out here if you like, but have a box of tissues on hand. Brendon and Jacob entertained us all with their comedy routines, and we talked with Mark about music and games and life. The girls ate their ice cream and then were looking for something to do, so they played a game of Duck Duck Goose... with just the two of them. Don't ask me how that game can be played with only two people, but they somehow make it work for them. But two other kids joined them before long, so that made it work out better, regardless. We would have liked to stay and chat longer with Mark, but it was getting late, so we headed back to the RV park and went to bed.
