Thursday is breakfast with the Retama ladies so I picked up Ann and Mimi. The group has been smaller this year, other groups have broken off, so talking and getting to know people is easier. I learned that Dale's sister lived in Cincinnati and worked for P&G at the same time I was there. We had lots to talk about! She is just visiting Dale for a short while. When I arrived back home I changed my slacks for capris and headed to the nail salon. I will probably go one more time before heading home and get one more haircut too.
We had a very early dinner reservation at Saltgrass because there were 18 of us and it was Valentine's Day. We all enjoyed our food, no complaints by anyone, and the other four couples at our table ordered dessert. They insisted I eat one spoonful of the brownie pie and the bread pudding. Sure hope it doesn't show up on the scale anytime soon! When we returned to the park we gathered at Tommy and Susan's place until after dark before heading home. It was a nice day.
Ted went to the gun range early Friday to help with some building projects to improve the range. I cleaned up a bit, took a shower, washed my hair and then walked down to say goodbye to Tommy and Susan. They are leaving in the morning and we were going to be busy the rest of the day.
I went to play Mahjong and won a game and missed two others by one tile. We had leftover lasagna for dinner then left for John and Vivian's park to see a former New Christie Minstrel singer. He was terrific and such a personable entertainer with lots of audience participation. The park even provided a light lunch with wine for free at intermission. We had an enjoyable evening.
Saturday was laundry day and I must say it is way less crowded than on Sunday. It didn't take too long and I even took a walk to the market a short distance to buy bananas while the clothes washed. We went to church as usual, picked up Subway sandwiches for a quick dinner and then picked up Vivian and John to attend another show, one we had seen last year and said then we would like to see him again.
Jason Coleman is Floyd Cramer's grandson. Cramer was the A team piano player in Nashville during the second half of the last century. He played for all the big stars and created the "Nashville sound" still recognizable today. Jason tells his story through music including videos of him playing piano as a very young boy and appearing on shows with his Grandad playing duets and singing. We all thought the show was terrific.
It was nice to not have to move too fast on Sunday morning. Tommy and Susan were gone and it had been busy all week. Ted went skeet shooting then delivered dog heart worm pills that my friend Sue had picked up in Mexico for Susan's friend's mother-in-law! How's that for 6 levels of friends, Kevin Bacon. LOL. I played Mahjong and won two games and Kathy won one. Ted fixed dinner and we called it a day.
