A much needed respite: a week with my friend and fellow Wife of Dogtown, Naomi, at my childhood beach vacation spot, Holden Beach, North Carolina. The Daddies came down for a day, which was quite a spectacle, complete with a ‘Welcome Daddies’ banner and everything. And in the wake of their leaving we found ourselves once again alone, and yet, with each other.
I am so grateful for this partnership, complete with a wife and children to find camaraderie in. Unfortunately, I have also found myself in the usual pre-menstral depression that seems to come too often and last too long. And yet, the Wives of Dogtown prevail! With our heads held high we see that today is all we have and we live life to the fullest, in acceptance of what is, while at the same time, crafting the future and sobbing in our wine glasses.
We are proud of our ambitious husbands, and their hair-brained schemes. I admit I was more than supportive in the idea stage, and after the ship set sail, I have had my fair share of doubts. I am inspired by the hard work and determination I see in both of the Dogfathers. We are through Floydfest, and the summer is ending. Fall is here, the kids are going back to school. The people are eager to spend time together, to celebrate the harvest and all the hard work that has been put in this season.
Its the time to dig in our heels. We are digging them in with 3 big acts on The Sun stage and plenitudes of smaller ones in the Roadhouse. Acts that keep both the Roadhouse Stage and the Sun Music Hall bumpin’ all through the fall season, any time someone might want to venture out. Date Night, Lunch Out, Family Night, Sunday Matinee Movies, 5 O-clock Happy Hour, Open Mic – whatever the occasion – Dogtown is the place to make it.
The restaurant has had a chance to get its feet wet and now is the time to show its stuff. The music promotion has been a larger endeavor than expected, but it feels like a much needed piece of the puzzle and has the potential to be such an amazing venue. We stand behind our husbands 100%, and are spreading the word about the venture with “shameless promotion”. Now is the time to give it all its got. Full Throttle…Home Stretch…Winter’s a Comin’ …Get Ready…Lets Go!
Glad you are having a ball. The picture of Holden Beach, NC was great. It looked as though the hurricane was still nearby.
