Just like that, her first concert was over.
My job was to keep the baby out of the sun & pack the treats & spirits that would later become dinner. Our girls waited patiently in line all day so we could slip in (to beautiful seats) just as it began. Now I realize I swoon over the Indigo Girls in a way that even your sassiest lesbian doesn’t understand but if you could see them through my eyes, you’d surely get me.
They began the show with Love of Our Lives and ended with Galileo. In the middle they sang old ones like Watershed and Romeo & Juliet. I cried a few different times – just thinking about my life. What a miracle that I still breathe. What a miracle that I’ve been blessed with two amazing Indigo baby Girls that will leave me a lifetime of concert memories. And there was this lovely moment when an old friend was leaning over me, looking at Glory, but spoke also of Gracie and it felt wonderful to have her thought of. Aside from the hundreds of dragonfly’s all around us…
ARay was glowing, as were Julie & Emily. And yes, we’re on a first name basis. They don’t know it but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind. I watched each guitar switch with anticipation and they never let me down. How could they?



We danced and sang our hearts out. Believe it or not (said with sarcasm), I know every word. It’s like a giant campfire with every wonderful person you’ve ever known. How could that not be the best day of your life? Cristy just looked at me (after insisting I couldn’t hold the baby with all my bouncing) and said I had pure joy on my face. I did. My heart couldn’t have been more full.
It was Glory’s debut and she basked all over in it. (she slept through the entire concert) It was fun introducing her to the people we only see at this event. They all know how long we’ve waited for her to be there with us.
Here we are, before the sun went down.

Btw, did I tell you we’re leaving for San Diego to see them (& jbeeky) again on Sunday?
