Angela's Going
To See Trace!
hey
ladies...how do you love this "cool"
bus.....it is kind of a combination
of the partridge family and a fisher
price bus....don't ya love all those
big flowers....and the peace
signs...oh and the color is
something else...they will see us
coming from miles away ... ok...now
where are those keys.....oh great inez...glad you found them.....
so..think you can drive this
thing....it is the only thing that
would hold all of us....alright
adkinettes + 3....lets get this bus
on the road.....find a seat....sorry
johnna....you know what the doctor
said...no bus driving...you just sit
here with me.... settle in and enjoy
the ride....hey...does anyone know
what direction north carolina is....i
have never been
there....alright .... you are such a
good snoop inez...who would have
thought the map would be under the
mat there by your feet...teehee...your
feet must have good noses... or toes....hahaha....
whoah....hang
on gang...this ol' bus is about
ready to hit the road .........hey kathy....what are you and pat
doing.... what do you think you are
going to find under those
seats....WHAT....you girls are
crazy...i don't think you are going
to find 12 naked little men hiding
under there.....but you might want
to check up there in that luggage
rack above your heads....teehee..careful...you
never know what you are going to
find.....who is jumping up and down
back there....better be
careful...don't know what is holding
this bus together...no...think your right
kat...doesn't look like duct
tape... but maybe they should have
tried it...this "stuff" looks more
like old bubble gum....or play
dough...it doesn't look to sturdy we may have to
do some repairing of this thing
before our next trip...who is
singing...that you mary....girl...you
sure can sing..if that is singing
you are doing..think you and marissa
and elise need to work on your
harmonies a little more..but at least
we could figure out which song you
all were singing....
ohhh..who
brought the brownies...ummmm..they
sure smell good...ummmm...ummm..they
even taste better than they
smell.. thanks heather...going to have to make
you our official baker...oh good...jeanne
you have good eyes girl....take a
left up here inez .... jeanne saw a
road sign....that said n.c. 10
miles.....that is our destination
guys.....wheww....boy that was some
trip....who would have thought 10
miles would turn into 30...no inez...don't
worry about it...we all made the
same mistake....i know that sign
said n.c. turn left...someone must
not know how to spell.....we are
here....and that is all that
matters...that and finding the
girls .... so we can see trace....we
should all divide up...it will be
a lot more comfortable than trying to
squeeze into one pocket.....
who is
going with who....ok...kathy..you
and jeanne and heather and kat and
pat go with kim...remember to hang
on tight girls... she is going to be
flying around...snapping
pictures....so she will be moving
fast....tracy...you take mary..neva...inez..johnna
and me...and dee...you and pat m and
marissa and elise go with diane ....hope
i got everyone...any stragglers just
jump in where you want...ok

are....sure was nice of angela to
wear this outfit...look at the size
of these pockets... made just for
us.....hope the others got to their
pockets safe and sound....there sure
is a lot of people here....that a
girl angela.. .keep moving closer to
the front....this looks like a great
seat..... what a sweetie...she is
even going up to the stage and
helping you all up there....johnna...girl
you are not going to sneak out of
here....you just say here with
me...wasn't it nice of dave to add a
side car to my chair...you can just
sit here with me and watch all the
antics of the other guys....it isn't
that bad....you'll see....oh
look...there goes kathy..jeanne
heather kat pat and look darlene
made it...so glad she was able to
get away for a while....this will
make her feel better....they are
headed towards steve and his steel
guitar....those girls are nuts....steve
is going to have his hands full...teehee....and
not with the guitar....and there is
dee and pat m..marissa and elise...those
new ladies are going to be in for
the night of their lives....
wonder
where they are going....ah...look
over there johnna...they are going
to try and get up on the guitar
holder....they better hang on...it
doesn't look to sturdy.... wonder
where diane is...don't see
her...hope she didn't get bad
seats...inez and tracy are leading
neva over to the tall
speaker....they better put in their
ear plugs....it is definitely going
to be loud up there....hang on
johnna...looks like the show is
about to start.....yes ma'am....here
comes trace....boy...he is lookin
good tonite... ummmm...what a sight
he is.....oh...that sounds like the
"rest of mine" music....and
look...they are going to show the
video here too.....just love this
one.....sounds like he is going to
do some of the new ones
first ..... this is the moon
song...sure will be glad when the cd
comes out...then we will know the
titles of all the songs...and by
then we all will know all the
words...since he has been singing
them most of the summer....lucky
us.....
hahaha....look at elise and
dee and pat m...they are trying to
teach marissa some new dance
step...they look like they are
playing ring around the rosy....hope
they don't get dizzy going around in
circles like that....they look like
they are having fun..we will have to
get them to show it to us on the way
home....this song...nothing but tail
lights....love his facial
expressions....it is a fun
song...and looks like kathy and her
gang think so too....don't know how
steve can concentrate with them
running up and down his steel
guitar....one of them is going to
get hit by his fingers..... ooops...down
goes heather....and pat...they look
like dominoes.... they are all down
except jeanne...and she is hanging
on for dear life to the sides...
there is kim...she is up front...and
clicking away on that camera....bet
she gets some really good shots tonite ....hope she doesn't forget
the girls....not that they would
mind being left behind....your right
johnna...they would love to be left
with steve....ha ...look at inez...she
is showing tracy..mary and neva how to shimmy up
the microphone pole....you would
think they would get tired of
climbing up that
thing...ha...not...think that is the
favorite "adkinette +3" 's
place...as if we didn't know why....
teehee look
over to the side of the stage....kim
and angela found each other....still
don't see diane....hope she didn't
get lost....kim and angela look like
they are having a good time...wonder
if kim has run out of film
yet....that poor lady who does kim's
film....she will be working
overtime.....now where did the "adkinettes
+3" go ......can you see them johnna...they
are not by steve....and elise and
dee aren't over there dancing
anymore....hope they didn't fall off
the stage..... oh....here is kathy's
song....she has to be some where
close by....she is always near trace
when he sings this song .....but i
don't see them....ummmm...ok johnna...spill
the beans....i can see by the
expression on your face that
something is about to happen.....
careful....can't have you falling
out of the side car....sit still
girl....what....no...really....oh...your
right....i can see them now.....what
is that they are trying to stand
up.......it looks like tin
foil.....oh.....alright.....its a
big board...covered in foil.....and
it says...."CONGRATULATIONS
TRACE...AND THE BAND...ON GOING
PLATIUM"...look....i think he sees
it....yep... there is no mistaking
that smile......way to go
girls......but how did they get that
up there....and where did they have
it...it is too big to fit in a
pocket.....oh....its a fold
up.....you girls are so
good.......
oh no....this is the last
song....i always hate for him to
stop singing....could listen to him
all night long......and by the
sounds of the others in the stands
they feel the same.... wow.... a
standing ovation.....what a way to
end the show.....yep...he was a hit tonite...in north carolina......this
man just keeps getting better and
better each time we see him....and
the guys in the band are really hot
tonite....and it looks like the new
girls are having a ball ....look at dee and pat m...they haven't stopped
dancing yet...their poor little
piggies are going to be pooped in
the morning.... teehee ....ah...this
is one of my favorite songs....just
love trace telling ya about letting
the fingers do the
walking.... 634-5789...i think i am
going to change my phone number to
that....then he can call anytime....hehehe...pat
must like this song too....she is
trying to give trace
something....think it might be her
"trace's place south" number....what
ya want to bet it is 634-5789 ....teehee...
great minds think a like....what is
mary doing....she is trying to dodge
trace's feet and keeps trying to get
in front of his feet....oh..look out
mary....oh..i get it...she is trying
to get a peek at the song
list...what do they have up their
sleeves??????...
now they are
all getting together....they are
heading toward steve again...poor
guy...just what he needs....14
slightly crazed "adkinettes"
surrounding him.....do you know what
they are doing johnna....by the look
on your face i think you do....let
me in on the secret...please....oh
ok....i'll just wait till they do
whatever they are planning.... must
be good....they sure look pleased
with themselves...... "see jane
run..."...hope this one is a
single....it is a catchy song...ohhh...there
goes the lights....they are being
dimmed ...that can mean only one
thing...."every light in the
house ..."....hey...where are the
flashlights....did they forget
them???...hahaha...guess not....they
have duct taped them to the front of
the stage...and they are aimed right
at trace....good thing they are not
very bright....poor guy would be
blinded....listen ...they are all
singing with him...that is the song
that mary and marissa were singing
on the bus.....they sure sound
better than they did then.....in
fact...they all sound pretty
good....where are jeanne...pat and
kat going.....and kathy and inez...they
are going in the opposite
direction....these girls are
definitely up to something ....and
what are you doing johnna....oh
look.....they are letting a bunch of
balloons loose....oh...and they have
put a sign on the front of steve's
steel guitar....what does it
say.....can you read it johnna....ahhh...i
get it now....."HAPPY BIRHTDAY
STEVE....WE LOVE YOU....the
adkinettes + 3"....and everyone is
now singing to him.....look...is he
blushing....what a guy......never
heard so many people sing that song
together......teehee.....
well...looks
like it is time for us to gather up
the "adkinettes + 3"...(sure did
miss the +3 tonite....hope they make
it tomorrow night.....) and head out
to the bus....here they all
come..good thing that kathy and kat
are leading angela..kim..don't think
they could walk on their own... where
is diane....hope she is on the bus..
and look at the newbies faces.....i
think they are hooked..... they have
that dazed "we love trace" look on
their faces.....sure
glad they had a good time tonite....it
is always so much fun when we all
get together....ok ladies....lets go
find our "magic bus" ....and head for
the next show....there it is...over
there by the popcorn wagon....think
they have any carmel corn left
over...it sure sounds
good.....alright....look at all this
carmel corn.....if we eat all
this...we won't be able to open our
mouths...they will be stuck
closed....teehee...well at least it
will be quiet so we can get some
sleep.....
here we are....hahaha....this
bus kills me.....it is glowing in
the dark...those flowers must be
painted in glow in the dark
paint.....it looks like it has neon
flashing lights......oh well....lets
get on board....and find out which
direction to point it to....so
tracy..are you ready for your night
tomorrow???...well....it sure was a
great night... everyone is all
pooped out from all the dancing, singing and running
around they did...sure didn't take
them very long to get snuggled up in
their "trace towels" for the night..look at the big smiles they
all have on their faces...hey...who
is doing all that snoring???!!!!..
it is so nice to be together..... and
to share trace and his music with
each other.....we are so
lucky.....hey inez.....how are
you.....inez....girl...what did you
do to your hair.....you didn't have
light brown hair....or a pony
tail....hey.... inez....where are
you???????........who is
driving??????.....oh ....."chuckle...
chuckle...."....it's you...mr.
genie....sure is nice to see you
again....love your "bus".......and
