Kenny

My mother-in-law, Shelley, celebrated her 60th birthday in August. We thought that turning 60 was a pretty big deal and tried to find her the perfect gift. We knew that she loves Kenny Rogers and that he was going to be in concert in Loveland in October. So, we bought her tickets so that her and Howard could have a nice night out and enjoy Kenny. Well, the concert was tonight and Shelley was soooo excited, she has been counting down the days. She called me this afternoon to tell me that Howard was sick and couldn't go to the concert and asked me if I would go with her. I love spending time with Shelley, so of course I said "yes". Plus, my mom listened to Kenny Rogers when I was a kid, so I knew most of his songs.
We had a wonderful time. Kenny has a great voice for an old guy. :) I was one of the youngest audience members. It was kind of nice to look around and feel young again. I am sorry that Howard isn't feeling well and hopes he feels better soon, but I am glad that I got to have a night out with my MIL.

So So So Jealous!! I would have gladly went with you and looked young too! We use to listen to our Kenny Rogers tape while driving all the way up to Oregon every summer. I remember dancing to Kenny Rogers music at age 2!! I LOVE HIM! Even though his plastic surgery looks strange now. lol

I just love the title. Kenny. You could have also gone with Brother Rogers (as Al would have said).

I am glad you had a good time. :)

Mare, I almost put "Brother Rogers", but knew that only you and Al (and E2) would appreciate it. lol
