I know I know..... I bet ya'll thought I fell off the face of the earth and I kinda did!  This past couple of months have been absolutely great! I have been able to spend more time at home than I have in about 5 years. It was much needed R and R! But it hasn’t been all fun and games.  I’m going into the studio in February to do my third album. I’ve really been writing and concentrating on that. So if I have been neglecting keeping in touch that's the reason. Once I get the record done I'll be back into the swing of things. I have to say though I am missin' my fans, my band and the road a little!

I enjoyed the holidays so much. I got to spend a lot of time with my family and Blake's. We don't get to do much of that during the year and while we're touring. I got to hang out with Dixie and Molly too. I was home for a while in Lindale and then mom brought them up to the farm. She's let them get a little chubby but I guess that's ok. I guess that's what grandmas do.

All the animals here are doing great. Shelly has grown into a cat now and is into everything. She climbed up the Christmas tree!! That's when Blake said she needs to live outside in her little kitty condo and just come inside sometimes. Much better plan. Now she climbs up the horse’s tails and all kinds of stuff. Crazy cat. Speaking of animals... there is yet another addition to old McLamberts farm. Blake and I have some great friends from Kansas named Tom and Jacque. They are team ropers and they had a beautiful horse that they wanted to give to a good home because they didn't get to ride him enough. So... I got him! He is a paint horse named Zeus Troubadour (after a Greek God and the God of country, George Strait). He is 18 and the gentlest horse ever. I even put mom on him and she hasn't ridden in years. Blake’s mom loves to ride as well and he is great for anyone to jump on. He is supposed to sort of be Blake’s horse but I think he is chicken!! I gotta get him a six pack to hang on his saddle horn and maybe that will get him going!!


Kenny Chesney anyone? Rum, Corona, and Kenny himself. What better way could a girl spend her whole summer? I can’t wait until the tour starts. I am so pumped about being out there with such great people. Kenny is the nicest guy ever and he loves to hang, and Lady A are friends of mine so it won't take anytime for all of us to click. And on top of it all Blake gets to go on tour with George! I mean could this get any better? I am so proud of him lately. Its like he just keeps getting better and better and the album Startin Fire's is the best one yet in my opinion (might be a little prejudiced, but still). I think 2009 is his year!

Well I can’t wait for the tour and the record and all that stuff. Thanks for being patient with me! Love ya’ll. See you on the road in 2009.

Don’t forget…. love a shelter pet.

You have a beautiful horse Miranda. I just wanted to say that I think what that Bi.... did to you at Firelake Grand in Shawnee was uncalled for. She was jumped afterwards in the parking lot and lost her job the next day because of it. I thought the concert was great and can't wait to see your next one in Tish. I had bought a suite, front row seats and with the suite received meet and greet. Everyone that was with me really enjoyed the show.

Hey Miranda,

First of all, I love your new song " More Like Her"!

I am so proud of you and Blake! I love listening to yours and his songs. I agree that Startin' Fires is his best.
I enjoyed the "Origins Special" that GAC aired which featured you. I recorded it on my DVR and I have not deleted it yet. I found it very inspirational. I just love your songs. Keep up the good work!
I recently saw you and Blake at the Grand Ole Opry on Jan. 10. I wish he could of sang more songs. I love the "Home' Song and his newest song"She Wouldn't be Gone".

Hope to see ya'll this summer!

Thank God for holidays! It's always a good time for a little break and quality time with the most important people in our lives. And famous or not we all would like to have more time to do important things like just live in the moment or step back and revel in world around us, like the spark in the eyes of a child and joy in their laughter. I'm a full time working mom and trying to keep up with my love of singing and acting keeps me away from my husband and kids sometimes and that is hard enough for me, I couldn't imagine being gone for long stretches of time. Glad you got some relaxation time Ran!

I am so proud of you and Blake!!!
Blake has the best album of his career so far and going on tour with King George!! Tell him Congrats!!

Yeah I also think its his year but I have a big feeling that you will also own this year with "More Like Her" doing so great (My favorite song from you so far!), the tour with Kenny (Congrats on that by the way!), and the new album (Can't wait!!)

I hope to see you with Kenny and Lady A but i definately see you in Nashville in CMA Fest!!! Well, if you come...PLEASE come!!!

Barbara L. Harper says:

R and R is something that is diffently needed when you are on the road as much as you are. I'm sure the two months just flew by. Always remember to treat yourself to those times!
Life has a way of flying by and before you know it you wonder how you got to be a certain age so fast. I say this with my Grandson of 9 months on one knee and his big brother, 21 months on my other knee, which I babysit four days a week and just love, and work on our farm part time. Life is good when you can spend time with family. Looking forward to seeing you on the road this year. This Grandma loves your music. This year will be the best. Love to all of your family.

Ha, sounds like my crazy kitty, likes to challenge the hogs. We lost a mallard duck though to a cat :(. We've upgraded the fence to electric that should do it. Anyways, i like the new horses name!!! HA, i think all guys are afraid of horses. Notice they're all talk when it comes to ridin' but no action. Crazy guys! Anyways, Miranda (!) how come we never see you on Lee & Tiffany's show!? Blakes on there but who cares about him haha. Anyways, we'll be seein' ya at soaring eagle casino!!! Good luck in your shows!!!

Glad to hear that everything is ok....I can't wait to see you in walker, mn on march 21st. In case your looking for another cat j/k...I can drop one off in walker ;). I found a neglected kitten in our polebarn about a month ago. Her ear got frostbitten and she looks a bit goofy, but she is one of the nicest little kittens I've ever seen. Don't worry I got her in a heated environment now and she is being well taken care of.
Take care and I can't wait to see your show,
