Crystal's May 10, 2007 entry
Hello Friends!

I hope everyone is enjoying spring!

I had a great time on our recent tour of Wales, England and Ireland.

I loved being able to spend special time with friends I’ve made through the years.

It was especially nice to have met Charles. He lives in France and came to my show in Croydon, England. I also got the chance to catch up with Sue. She brought us a delicious Lemon Cake for Easter. I can tell you, nothing was left of the cake by the end of the night!

The band and crew had great time as well! I wonder if there’s any Guinness left for the locals? Everyone made them feel right at home.

Peggy had a blast looking for rocks everywhere we went. She brought a lot home to add to her collection. (That would explain why we had to pay for overweight baggage!). Ha ha!

Peter Donegan opened all the shows for us in Wales and England. Peter is a great entertainer! He even agreed to join me on stage to play banjo while I sang Rocky Top. I know Peter has a bright future in front of him.

Thank you to everyone who came to the shows and for making us feel right at home!

Since returning from the UK, we’ve been to Utah, Oklahoma and just recently returned from sunny California working with the Pacific Symphony in Orange County. We also “toured” the South Coast Plaza Mall that just happened to be right next door to the Performing Arts Center. I loved it and I know you would too!

The kids have finished finals and are planning their summer. I’m sure it will be what Elijah wants to do!

Thank you for all the support and have a great summer!

Love,

Crystal
