come on "mr.griswald"!!..we
should have left an hour ago!!...i
know..i know...you have been trying
to find your binoculars... and...your
"super-duper" zoom lens for the
camera...no...you can't go to "dollywood"
without them...but i keep trying to
tell you...just because we are going
to "dollywood"...doesn't mean your
going to "see" dolly there..we are
going to see trace.. remember??..yes...we
did just see him...a couple weeks
ago..but this is a different
concert...a different "adkinette" is
going to this one...and..if we don't
get there soon..we will miss
angela's pocket..and..without a
pocket..you can't have a "pocket
concert"!!!
now..are you ready to
go???....no??....silly me...of
course you can't go without your
"beverage" hat...the one that kat
gave you...yep..i remember she gave
you one..do you have any idea where
it might be??.....great...well..you
look in this half of the house...and..i'll
check this half...alright??...geez..who
said it's women who take forever to
get ready??....sure wasn't a
woman!!!
YES!!..you found
it...finally...ah...why was it in
the back bathroom?? ...no...never
mind...i don't
think i really want to know...is
that everything???....yes..your
cooler is already on the bus... and..it
is under the front seat...not in the
back of the bus.. we wouldn't want
you to have to go all the way back
there each time you want something
to eat would we???...is that
everything?...good..now...lets get
me on that "magic bus"..and..get out
of here!!!
hey!!!!!!...."MR.GRISWALD"!!!!!!...can
you hear me?????....ha...silly
question!!!...there's no way he is
going to hear me with that "music"
turned up so loud!!!!...(heehee..at
least i figured how to get the cd
player to only play trace musci!!)...sure
hope he doesn't forget to slow down
as he goes by the girls...he's going
pretty fast....thankfully i
remembered to put extra purple duct
tape on the bus...without it...i
would be long gone by now!!!......
oh good...he is
slowing down....oh no!!!!....not a
drive thru.....oh heaven help
me!!!....how can he be
hungry????...."beep..beep... beep"..nice
way to say thanks...honk your
horn!!!...huh??...she must have
liked the bus or something...look at
all these "happy meals"!!!....just
what we need in here..more
food...before too long there won't
be any room for us "adkinette's"!!!
phew...once
again.."mr.genie" has worked his
"magic" on us!!... sure glad he was
able to get you all on the bus...
and...all in one piece..i think we
are going to have to limit "mr.g's"
caffeine in take...haha...good one
vicki..or his drive-thru
food....something is making him out
of control!!!....well...now that we
are on safe ground...let's do a
head count to make sure we didn't
forget anyone..
alrighty...looks like
we have everyone..all corners of the
good ol' "usa" seem to be
covered...then i guess the only
thing left to do is..ooops..thanks
for the reminder pat i almost
forgot we have a "newbie" with us
tonite...hi darcy...really glad you
made it...let's see what we can do
about getting you all set of your
very first "pocket concert"...here
is your "tracin bag"...and..inside
you will find all sorts of
goodies....there is a "trace
towel"...a really popular item...yep..don't
ya just "love" having him on both
sides... .we use it when we are in
need of a big ol' "trace hug"!!!...teehee ....now
there is a great idea tracey...wonder
how we can get it to whisper "darlin"
to us while we are getting our
"hug"???...we'll have to put "mr.g"
to work on that...maybe if he has
something to do...he won't be hungry
all the time!!!...oh...here is
another item you can't be without at
a "pocket concert"..it's a mini
flashlight.. comes in real handy in
all sorts of
situations..heehee..don't look so
scared..it's nothing bad...no
ma'am..we only get into "good tracin"
trouble....ok..here is another item
we can't be without...it's our
"purple" duct tape...it's kind of
like our "trademark"!!..and..a good
"adkinette" would never leave home
without some in her "tracin
bag"!!!...ahhhhhh..you'll love this
one....it's our "trace fan" ...no.. teehee..it's not ann...and..you'll
notice once more...he is on both
sides..the better to keep us nice
and cool....
well...i think that
is all most "essential" stuff...if
we forgot something ... have no
fear...someone will help you... kim...how
about you and Elise and susy be
darcy's guardian angel for the
night..tammy and kat..you can take
sharie....and...debbie and shelly
can watch over brandy...this is
their second "pocket
concert" ...and..they still might
need someone to make sure they don't
get lost!!...now..with that
settled...let's see if we can this
show started...everyone..join
hands...click those heels....(heehee ...nice
heels you got on regina...love the
color...hot pink...gee ...wonder why
you picked that color??)...ok "adkinette's"...on
three....
take us to
trace...take us to trace..take us to
trace!!!!!
now..that wasn't so
bad was it darcy?..at
least this time we all landed on our
feet...heehee....that is something
for sure!!!...wow...there sure are
lots of people here tonite....i hope
we don't have any trouble finding
angela...anyone see her???.....she
didn't tell us what she was going to
wear did she??...all i remember is
she was using a camera bag instead
of a pocket.. hummm....i don't see
her anywhere.... no..your right kim...she's
not hard to miss....anyone else see
her???....
well...how in the
world are we going to get thru all
these legs...to the
stage???....huh??...what?? what in
the world????....oh
no!!!....please...tell me i'm not
seeing what i think i'm
seeing???...it's just a figment of
my imagination right???..uhhh..i was
afraid it wasn't.... don't know why
i'm surprised...he is always good
for at least one surprise a day...and..lucky
us...we get to experience today's
surprise!!....hurry girls...jump
back...it looks like he is heading
straight at us!!..oh my..heehee..this
takes the cake..... have you ladies
ever seen a "hot pink"
trace-mobile??..hahaha ... me
either..he certainly out did himself
this time....i think your right
johnna...it looks like he took
jamie's little red
wagon..and..painted it hot pink....a
very hot pink!!!...if i'm not mistaken..those are
bright yellow paper plate
headlights... and..heehee....he used
some of his plastic silverware as
propellers..oh..and..this is
good...looks like he stole one of my
brake handles off my w/chair ...to
steer with!!...sure hope i don't
need that handle sometime tonite!!!...ah...i
see he found the extra purple duct
tape i hid to hold it all
together...well....it's better than
trying to wade our way thru this
ocean of legs....can anyone whistle
real loud?? with those cut off
"happy meal" pop cups he has taped
over his ears... it's going to be a
little hard to get his attentioin....he
looks like he is on a mission...just
hope he remembers that we are the
"mission"...
well girls...i think
if we want to get up to the
stage...and.. see if we can find
angela...we are going to have to put
our lives in "mr.g's"
hands...again....i know..it is a
little unusual...but...so far he has
gotten us where we want to
go..and..this time the ride doesn't
look to long...we will just be
brave!!!....let's get us all in
there...and...cross our fingers that
he doesn't miss the stage... don't
"even" want to think of where we
might land!!!
oh...yoohoooo....hey..."mr.g"....here
we are....down here.....duck
everyone!!!!....nice landing "mr.g"....you
landed on all four
wheels... amazing!!!...ok...let's
climb in and....get to the
stage!!!...ohhh...care-ful
joan... and...janet....that is a big
step isn't it...hey girls...we need
you all over here....kathyrn and ann
are having trouble getting in....oh
thanks vicki..that key chain kim
made us will work prefect as a
ladder....we better tie the other
end to that pipe over there...it
looks like it has enough duct tape
to hold it...at least until we can
get them in.... everyone ready to
pull.....ok...now!!!!
phew....there...everyone is in...oh
here ann....you lost your "blonde
helmet"!!!...i think your going to
need it for this ride...too bad we
all don't have one!!!..are you all taped
in??....make sure you hang on real
tight.....tammy....since your the
closest....can you give "mr.g" a
smack and tell him we are ready to
go?thanks... i'm afraid to ask
this..but..wonder how he is going to
get us off the ground...and..on to
the stage????...
yikes!!!!....what was
that noise???...it sounded like a
"thunder"....ahhhh....i get it
now.....that is what was under all
those "happy meal"
bags....balloons!!...that noise must
have been the "hot air" coming
out...hey....what do you know...we
are flying....really
flying!!!!...who would have thought
it would work??..not me!!!!....this
is kind of cool....floating over all
those people.... hey....someone grab
on to dana and pat....they are going
to fall out leaning over the edge of
the "trace moblie" like that...
i wonder if "mr.g"
brought along his binoculars?? we
could use them to look for angela...kitty
and sharie...can you check out his
"cooler"...maybe he put them in
there...with all the rest of his "neccessities"..he
did...oh good... now..katie..will
you take them and see if you can see
angela down there???
darn...no angela....i
thought for sure we would be able to
find her from up here...especially
with the binoculars..well. ... i
guess if we want to get on the
stage...we are going to have to ask
"mr.g" to land this "trace-moblie"
down there....
i see him shaking his
head..hope that means he knows what
we want him to do...and not to get
some ice out of his ears....he
probably forgot to dump it out of
those cups before taping them over
his head!!!...ohhhhh...hang on tight
ladies....and..cross your
fingers....not sure if this going to
be a gentle landing or not!!!...i
have to close my eyes...i can't bear
to watch this.....
hey..careful "mr.g"....or
your going to give us all
whiplash!!!!...oh my...oh my gawd...look
up ladies..he has attached a kite to
use like a parachute!!...nice kite
too...wonder where he got a 'trace
kite"..we'll have to remember to ask
him later...now...we all need to
hang on for our dear lives!!!!
ahhhh..well..guess
that wasn't too bad..did we all
"survive" our second landing of the
night??.....no broken bones...or
boo-boo's???....ok...now..let's see
just where we landed....it's pretty
dark here....can anyone see
anything??no..well...guess
we all better pull out our
flashlights.... maybe they will
help..hey...i just realized.. this is
my first time up on stage!!!....this
is cool...just a little loud..it
seems they have started the show
with out us!!!...it's awful hard to
hear isn't it...i guess your
right...you must get use to
it....OUCH!!!!!...oh dear..that
didn't sound very good...who ran
into what????....oh...heheee...that
couldn't have felt too good
brandy...oh..hang on....looks like
we have come upon some kind of
"mountain"....you guys ok way back
there???...teehee...katie i think we
have just been "backended"!!!
everyone point your flashlights up
here hopefully they will be bright
enough for us to see what we have
run into...
oh...gulp...ahhh....ladies..that
wasn't a "mountain".... nope....that
looks like one very big
boot....wow....now...that is what i
call a perfect landing...right where
we wanted to be..center stage..with
"the man"....looks like he was
waiting for us...uhhh...oh..guess
i'm talking to myself...didn't take
them too long to get their
bearings!!!...teehee....good thing
katie set me over here...out of the
way..so i can watch..up close...all
their "adkinette" antics... and not
have to worry about someone stepping
on me...didn't take too long to
change from dark to bright!!!..think i better put on my "tracin
shades"....don't want to miss any of
the action....
ahhh...now that is
better...oh...and..just in
time...there they go....up and over
the "mountain".....haha....poor
darcy and brandy and sharie...they
sure are hanging on tight to their
"guardian" angels....debbie and
shelly are "dragging" brandy... sure
hope she doesn't slip and fall...i
can see ann and kat and johnna
heading over to the drum
set......can't see what they are
dragging behind them...sure hope it
isn't a "newbie"...there goes kim
and vicki...and..darlene...they are
pushing whatever the others are
dragging....oh.. heehee ...guess
kathryn is going to make sure that
trace plays her song...he didnt sing
"girl in texas" last time.... looks
like she has been into "mr.g's"
supply of
balloons....she...patrica..and..shellie
are using some kind of sling shot to
shoot them in front of trace..heehee..their
aim isn't very good...they are
floating out over the
crowd!!!...nope..shooting them inn
that direction isn't going to get
trace's attention....hope they have
a plan #2...or it will be one more
night without "girl in texas"..
ahh..there they
go....getting closer
girls...although don't think he can
read them when over by his
ears....keep trying girls..you'll
get it!!!.....oh....oh!!!!....haha...so..that
is what they had in those bags...heeheee...they
must have done a little "sewing" at
the big "pj party" last weekend..
looks like they have "new" dancing
outfits......and..they are very
interesting dancing
outfits!!!...looks like they took
their "aol trace" shirts and added
a little bit of black lace around
the bottom...oh..and...love the
sequins...they sure do sparkle under
these lights!!!.....wonder who's
idea it was to add the little
"crooked" smiley face to the
front..oh and..the "hot pink"
feather in each of their little
cowboy hats is the perfect
touch!!!...they must have been up
all night coming up with such
"interesting" costumes!!!...can't
wait to see what kind of dance they
came up with this time????...doesn't
look like i will have to wait much
longer...cause here comes "big
time"'!!!...
heehee...yep....they
did a little practicing in their
pj's....ohhhh... and...added some
"double swirls" ...ohhhh...and..a
new finale!!!!!....bravo
ladies...bravo...you out did
yourselves again!!!!...those
cartwheels were a nice
touch!!!...yikes...look out
trace..here the rest of them
come!...i think they are all going
to see if they can help kathryn get
his attention....some of them are
trying to shoot up some more
balloons...and..it looks like
jeanne..kitty.. dee..and ...joan are
trying to toss up paper
airplanes..."hot pink" ones of
course....and...it looks like sharie
is going to play "robin hood" she
has alittle bow and susy and tracey
are attaching "hot pink" post it
notes to the arrows....i sure hope
sharie is a good shot... oooops....spoke
too soon..good thing trace decided
to do alittle "mo-jo-ing"....or he
would be wearing an "adkinette"
arrow in his pony tail!!!...
eeeekkkkkk....oh
good...that was just a little too
close for comfort.... good thing his
hat has a big brim!!!....hope he
doesn't mind a little "tisy bitsy"
hole in it!!!!......ahhhhhhhhh
...yes!!!!....here it
comes!!.....careful kathryn...you
keep jumping up and down like
that..and..you jump right off the
edge of the stage!!!..phew....good
job katie and vicki....she was
definitely on her way off stage!!...i
think the "newbies" are starting to
get the hang of this "adkinette"
stuff...but.. heeeehee...don't think
that they are going to get to far up
the pole...not that way at
least....that microphone pole is
very hard to lasso!!!!.....
what in the
world....oh no!!!!...it can't be????no..it's
"mr.g" and the "trace moblie"!!!!...that
man never ceases to amaze me...i
wonder who is driving...he is too
busy looking thru his binoculars
looking for "dolly"...he probably
came up with away to put it on auto
pilot...knowing him!!...teeeheeee.....wonder
if he knows he is going around and
around in circles!!!!...probably
not....the "adkinette's" have
spotted him...careful ladies....he
sees you waving at him...and....eeeekkkkkkk..too
late...he sees you.... and....oh
no...here he comes!!!!.....run
girls...run....he's coming
down!!....ohhhhhhhh.....they have
dimmed the lights.... and..those
"yellow paper plate headlights"
don't work.....so he can't see where
he is going!!!!....oh good...there
he goes...up..up...quick thinking "mr.g".....that
would have not been a pretty
picture...the "trace-moblie" landing
on trace!!....it would have been a
"goner" for sure....boy..that sure
sent the "adkinette's"
scattering...hope they can find
their way back here....with the
lights off..it is pretty dark
again....oh good...here they come...haha...they
look like the little dwarfs from
snow white...all in a single
line....with their little
flashlights on...all that is missing
is the whistling!
..hey girls...nice
show.....loved the new dance katie!!!..and.. kathryn...your
perseverance paid off...sure glad
you didn't have to listen to your
song from the ground....it sounds
better on stage!!
well...it looks like
the show is over...so we better
start gathering our stuff together
and see if we can find our way off
here and back to the "magic bus"..do
you think that we can get "mr.g's"
attention again...and see if we can
get him to come get us....let's see
if our flashlights have any light
left in them...there... boy.. these
little things really do work good
don't they....there he is.... and..it
looks like he sees our
lights....good...now if we can get
him down close enough to get
us...here we are "mr.g"...a little
more...there..now..come straight
down..why is he waving his
hands??...and..what is he yelling??
can anyone hear him???....me
either...those hot air balloons sure
are loud...wonder who's hot air is
in there??...heehee....
ok...looks like he is
going to get the "trace-moblie"
right on the spot....."guardian
angels"..you better grab your "newbies"...so
we don't leave them behind..the
"trace-zombie" look is starting..we
better hurry and get them up to
"24/7" ....just alittle lower..... there..alright
ladies..let's get in....and find the
bus!!!...hey..your getting pretty
good at driving this "trace-moblie"
"mr.g"....what???....you saw
who....no way!!!!...you must have
eaten one too many happy
meals..."dolly" was not here tonite....you
must have been seeing things.....ok..ok...we
believe you...don't we girls.... alright..you
can show us while we "float" to the
"magic bus"!!!!...
everyone nice and
snug???...ok..take it away "mr.g"....
huh??? ....uhh..where??..you have
got to be crazy...how could you pick
out anyone from way up
here?...sure...ok..whatever you
say.... yep...it sure does look like
her...doesn't it ladies???.....good
for you "mr.g"...you found
her..now..can we go to the
bus..hey....hey ladies...look down
there....it's angela...yooohoooo...
angela ...ANGELA..up here!!..look up
here!!..HI ANGELA!!!
what a night....i
sure am glad that the "big nice
hand" came to our rescue...when all
the hot air ran out of our
balloons..."mr.g" must have gone
around the fairgrounds one to many
times looking for "dolly"....he was
still talking about seeing her when
you put us all in the "magic
bus"..."mr.genie"...i have figured
out why he was so "out of it" tonite....it
must have been all that "vicks" he
put on last night!!!....knew those
fumes could be dangerous...oh
well...atleast he got us to "dollywood"...with
alittle help from our friendly
genie..here is a big thankyou "mr. genie" ...for
saving our lives...and...for another
great "pocket concert"...it was
definitely a fun one...as you could
tell from the looks on the "newbies'
faces when you dropped them off at
"24/7"....yep...it was another night
to remember....you just keep making
them better and...
heehee...there i go
again...talking to
myself!!!!....well... guess it's
time to dim the lights here in "traceland"
....thanks another fun "pocket
concert"!!! ;0)
