Thursday:
While G worked, I shot the house.
Hope I got every wall pictured. Monday
I start taking the house apart. Felt
very adventuresome going to Home Depot and
U Haul alone in a pickup truck. Got
everything I needed tho. Packed. Dressed in things we couldn’t ruin for the
ice cream social and had half a gallon of fudge over chocolate ice cream topped
with two pints of really good whipped cream.
Very friendly crowd. Poor first
comedian, mediocre second comedian, really good fat comedian, and again a
mediocre headliner for the last one. The
fat guy tailored his jokes to his audience, and he was just plain funny and we
loved him. Home to sleep.
Friday:
I worked at the Whirley Gig sale.
Oh, My, Goodness, Gracious. I got
three of them, and another worker on her day off got a box full. A man and wife bought almost all the others
sweeping ruthlessly through the store.
It was amazing. G picked me up, I
doffed the dust of ages, and we headed to the friendliest convention yet. The Scooter was waiting and comfortable. He greeted early. Roses in bud but not flowering. Double darn. Ate at Trestles. A good chicken over pasta. Opening meeting, Happy Hour speaker meeting….when
Lessa arrived in time for.
Schmoosed.
Saturday:
Breakfast: Ate in room from our cooler.
Family Speaker Meeting, tried to get into the old timers meeting but
that was really filled, and schmoosed more, and ate at Charlie’s, (hamburger,)
and dressed up to usher the Banquet and Speaker meeting. Margot went home after her fish and chips.
Sunday:
We slept poorly both nights….tho Lessa slept well, we were either too
cold or too hot. Up, Yogurt…bringing
breakfast was a good idea, schmoosed till the Breakfast Speaker Meeting….I was
very good and didn’t eat any eggs. Really
good speaker too. Food just OK, but we
will do that again. Schmoozed some more
on the way out. Saw Bee…she’s lost a
mountain of weight but her skin is hanging. Home, nap, write here. Post the whirley gig pictures and write in
here.
Thanks for the update. I don't envy the work ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteReally? Really? You are complaining about 'no roses'?! I am sorry for all the moving, but you seem to be smart by taking the photos and it will all pass and be a good challenge. The truck trip was a good challenge for you, and I hope you do more.
ReplyDeleteLove Hawaiian shirts as does Hubby.
Too bad you didn't have an ice cream social every night of the week. I would have been there.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, don't envy you moving day but it sounded like a grand weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and full adventure. Love the pansies. Happy traveling. Daughter Connie celebrating 30 years on April 27. Dianne
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes smoothly for you and soon you have put everything back without too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteWow! It is raining here, so your flower photos and convention accounts have perked up my day.
ReplyDeleteLove the whirly thingies!
