Preparation

Being the mother of a musician has been a wild ride.

Since moving to North Carolina last year, Haley and I have spent more time away from home than at home. We've traveled all over the United States from Washington all the way down the west coast to Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Massachusetts, to Canada, and overseas to Thailand and Ireland. She has performed in festivals, competitions, homes, pubs, and other venues.

Now we are preparing to head to Ireland for the summer where Haley will be the fiddler for Riverd*nce. Preparing to be away from home for a little over three months is not easy.

We have both sorted through clothes, narrowed down choices, then weeded out even more until we had what will fit in our suitcases. Haley has researched vegan food options and I have researched places we'd like to visit on off time: art museums, historic museums, Irish music museums, parks, pubs, and sights.

She's also been practicing. She's determined and loves the music so she enjoys it immensely. She is very excited and looking forward to the first show on June 11th!
