Friday and Saturday--February 2 and 3--Texas Theater

Friday, Febraury 3, we did not much at all.  I started a quilt.  Finished a book and warmed up leftovers for dinner.

Saturday, February 4,I  had a really nice day.  We got up after it rained most of the night again.  Water was standing all around us.  Pond is about ready to go out the spillway.  Wet Texas!  

I cooked the old man ham and eggs for breakfast and cut out some more quilt squares.  He started watching a movie and I had to get ready for the concert in between the commercials.

Off to town we went.  We stood in line to get pretty good seats.  The old theater is being restored by the town members.  Nice comfy seats.

The first entertainer was Justin Trevino.  He is one of my favorite Texas singers.

Justin Trevino


While Justin Trevino was singing "Devil Woman" he stopped in the middle and stated that he always stopped the band at this point because he did not understand the lyrics.  (Something about even the sea gulls were happy that Mary was coming back home.)   Justin was wondering how you could tell if a see gull was happy.  But one time a man in the crowd jumped up and said you could tell  when they whistle through their peckers.
 Next was Tony Booth.  He was good.

Next a local girl of Seguin, Dottsi.

 After the concert, we went to dinner at a local restaurant that was recommended by one of the volunteers at the theater.  While sitting there eating our meal, guess who came in?  Justin, his wife, and the steel guitar player.  We finished our meal and I got up enough nerve to ask Justin's wife if he would mind taking a picture for my blog.

Gary was about to crawl under the table; but how could I pass an opportunity to meet someone that I have enjoyed listening to on the radio and TV?  All three of them were really nice.  Thye invited me to sit at their table and asked where we were from and where we were staying and that they would probably be going to a local dance hall after the evening show.  I didn't tell them I had a MU vs KU basketball game to watch.

Sounds like ya'll had a good weekend. Hope your enjoying the warmer weather in Texas, although it's been a really mild winter so far back here. Not much going on back here. Chawee drug me around to several furniture stores this weekend, and decided on a new couch and love seat set, and then a curio from another store. I get to go back to each store after work today to pay for them and arrange for delivery. There goes the tax returns.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
