We arrived after a run by Rosa's-ing (we was hangry) I ate grilled chicken, it was good... and settled into our seats! Soon enough, Miss Loretta emerged like an angel in one of her billowing trademark gowns, sparkling like the sun! I've never seen a dress glitter so much! OF course, it was everything and I wanted to borrow it. Borrow it to work in my oilfield office and run my tween around.
Practical.
She was her sweetest, fiestiest Loretta self and charming! Her voice is still beautiful and strong! She sang all the faves and a few Gospel hymns. She even sang a Patsy Cline which had us swooning, like woah. It was a beautiful evening with the cutest husband I know of. He even put on his cowboy hat for the occasion aaannnddd hiney tingles. I only had two mishaps which need to be documented to keep me humble. I wore the prettiest flowy bouffant skirt thing with cowboy boots and well...it kept getting stuck in the crease of my Spanx panty band. I wanted to go to the merch table real bad but thought I better stay put as to avoid any indecency. The need to get to the merch table got real pesky so I went. I scored two screen print tees and a pink Loretta Koozie. Of course. When one is at a concert, any concert, you must purchase a Koozie emblazoned with the star's name & likeness. I don't have a reason why (since I don't drink much at all), just...go ahead and do it. I scooped up my stash and made my way back to the auditorium. It was an interesting set up as it were, the ushers were guiding people by blinding flash lights and red lights on their wrists. It was a little dizzying which spells trouble for some of us. I found my row (W) and started down the aisle of people who were plenty done with people "starting down the aisle". Sorry aisle mates. Sorry forever. I got mid ways and there was a lady with pointy boots that stuck into the aisle even with attempts to tuck her feet under her seat while I passed.
Well.
I was wearing pointy boots to.
Our boots met, tangled and I basically crashed into her like a defensive tackle. After the chaos of the landing in her lap, we summed it up that we were both at fault and smiled politely at each other. I'm so thankful for people who will let you tackle them and then smile politely. It is all that is right with the world. So..like I said, two instances that remind me that much like Loretta's Legacy in country music, it's important to be YOU because there is truly only one and you never know where it'll get you to! Loretta started out picking a guitar and singing her babies to sleep. She has never changed for anyone, honed her talent, stayed polite and worked her tail off. What an incredible influence she's been in my life. A beautiful example of loving when it's hard to love and staying humble. And pretty dresses <3
