Last fall, Lindsey Buckingham came to Salt Lake as part of his solo tour. I wanted to go, but I didn’t want to go by myself. I asked a few people if they’d like to join me, but no one could (or wanted to) go. So I didn’t go.
And I regret it.
I did ask friends if they wanted to come along to last Wednesday’s show, but, again, it just didn’t work out.
Should I go by myself? Not go at all? I didn’t want to feel like I had missed out, the way I felt last fall.
So I made an executive decision.
We took the trax and bought our tickets. I don’t know that we could have gotten better seats.
We shared pretzel bites w/ cheez and some water and waited for the show to start. Shortly after 8:pm, we heard the sound effect of crickets, and then…

The only thing that makes me feel better about not being able to go is knowing the two of you had such a great time together. And oh--love that photo of the two of you.
Oh and I love hippie love, too.
That's all.
When she was spinning. As opposed to...?
I love little ~J with a love that is almost more than I can bear.
Love that photo, what a good Momma, and one lucky (not little anymore) girl!
Such a great concert - loved it.
she will remember that forevah and evah...
how awesome.
How fun. I can't wait to do that with mine. Lil ~j and you look like twins. Absolutely lovely. You make beautiful kids.
So fun...Wish I could have been at the show. You and your beautiful daughter look like the night was a huge success and a very exciting memory for the 2 of you. I remember the concerts my parents took me too when I was young. Beautiful!!!
I love that you took Li'l ~j with you. It looks like a moment that she will never forget.
My hubby and I went to a FM show a few years ago and had a GREAT time. They put on a good show. I wish that Christine McVie would tour with them.
Thanks for posting the pics!
FUN! I love Fleetwood Mac and you both just made an awesome memory.
I am glad you were able to spend time with lil~j. She looks so happy and so you do. There is nothing like having dates with your children. You are such a good Mom!
What a fun "hot date"----thats what we call them....
How sweet. What a fun little mommy-daughter date. I bet she'll remember that forever.
I can't wait until my kid can not poop in his pants and carry on a conversation that doesn't involve Mickey Mouse and that we can go do something fun like that.
I must say that is an awesome sounding evening...perfect company.
sounds perfecto...I miss going to concerts
I love it! I want a copy of your pic, and wonder if she was the youngest one there? Do you remember the MJ concert in Buffalo? I don't think you were as old & our seats weren't as good, but it was fun. Love you
Such a rad mom! How cool for Ray-Ray to go with you! You have just created a memory & feeling for her that will never die. Awesome!
