My mom and Grandma are next door neighbors. Actually, better than that, they are on both sides of a duplex. I adore how much they do together, and praise God for His infinite wisdom in moving them side by side.
Grandma always has to call mom when Celtic Woman comes on PBS. She also calls me and makes me tell the girls so they can turn it on. Haha, she is so funny! They are so talented and the girls love their long flowing gowns.
The video link won’t work above, but you can listen later. They played Amazing Grace with bag pipes at the concert, oh my word! AMAZING.
When I got an email from Groupon saying they were coming to a town near us for one day only, I knew we had to go. Even better, the VERY expensive tickets, were reduced to $19.99! I called mom and we planned a special SURPRSIE Mothers Day/Girls Night Out for Grandma and the little girls.
They had no idea what the evening had in store for them!
First a little shoe shopping, then dinner out…….
A big shout out to our awesome waitress, Jordan. {above}
AND to the darling cowboy in suspenders that let me take his photo!
After dinner, we broke the big news to them!
WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO THE CELTIC WOMAN CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, this happened:
Yeah, it pretty much made my year.
The concert was amazing. Very interesting, lots of outfit changes, unusual instruments and amazing harmony.
One thing I wasn’t expecting was the amazing Drums and Irish Dancers, that was my favorite part!
If you have never heard Celtic Woman, and wish to be enlightened, check out this video of Amazing Grace with Bagpipes…..when they sang it, we all had chills and tears for our Papa.
I bet you are wondering what the guys did? WELL, they had a very special date too!!! Papa would be so proud. First time fishing, and look at that load!
