We had Couples Shanghai Saturday night and in lieu of appetizers, Jane was fixing dinner. The time was moved to 6:30 instead of 7:00 to allow us a bit more time, but it was going to be close for us depending on how long church ran. We never leave before the last song is finished but in this case, once they were “doing the dishes” from Communion, we left. There was still final prayers and blessing, then a song, but we were really going to be cutting it close. Turns out we arrived right at 6:30 and all was well. Except neither of us won. The scores were all really high!
We had plans for dinner and a live performance at Main Street Crossing theater on Sunday for Mother’s Day so we slept in. Fidelia showed up about 11:00 with a beautiful lemon meringue pie she made using the springform pans I had given her! What a nice, and delicious, dessert!
We arrived early at the venue to give us time to have a sandwich before show time. The show was advertised as an Elvis Presley legend singer doing 50s/60s rock and roll. In reality, he did everyone’s famous songs. Very entertaining reliving our youth! We even danced to Can’t Help Falling in Love with You! And I did a lot of “dancing in my seat.” Maybe that’s where CeCe got it. We received a video of her dancing in her seat during brunch. She did the same thing during Disney’s Hoop Dee Doo Review.
The singer mentioned he lived and worked in Branson so we asked if he knew John Seger, a Branson performer who we saw each year in the Rio Grande Valley. He was quite an entertainer but died suddenly at an early age of a heart attack. He did know him and said everyone was shocked when he died. Small world. This is January, 2017, the last time we saw John perform.
Monday was kitchen and yard day. The folks who did my front oval came to do the back corner now that the fence is done. There was a lot of bull rock buried in that corner that they removed and used it to create a water pathway off our property to a utility easement. I went to the nursery and we picked out perennials for plants. That will finish the yard!
The different color of the fence is the new “good neighbor” one against the one replaced along the back 2 years ago. Same on the first photo where that portion was just replaced too. Good neighbor fences aren’t always!
The kitchen folks are taking down the cabinet doors because they go away to be done. Now they are taping and wiping the remaining stuff in preparation for painting. I will be so glad to get everything put back by the end of the week!
The AC people who were to come Monday came Tuesday. That’s ok because it is working but the drain issue needs to be resolved, it is still emptying out the pipe from the soffit to the deck still!
The AC has been working and draining so we have high hopes the trouble is over. The plumbers all said it is clear, just get the water to the pipe drain, not the overflow pan.
The first two coats of primer and first coat of paint should be on by tonight. They will do the doors in the shop and bring them back next week. But I will be able to get things put back Thursday evening, Christine comes Friday to clean, she missed two weeks ago, so I absolutely need her.
Hoping for all three projects to receive a check mark as completed the beginning of next week. Woohoo!
