Update 5/29/2016
The
French Open started on Monday. Now, let me get this straight - it is
one of four major tennis tournaments in the whole year, and ESPN
won't cover it. Probably didn't offer as much money as the Tennis
Channel. But I don't pay for the Tennis Channel, and comcast is not
going to get one more penny from me. So, I'm not able to watch the
tournament except for a few hours on the weekend. Am I happy about
that? Well, no.
I
really did very little all week. Donna and I went to lunch at a
restaurant that I had heard offered a great low country boil. It was
not that good. All the food seemed old and mushy - not good and
fresh. But now we know. And Friday, after DH and The 90, I went to
see the SCT's show, The Little Mermaid. Of course, it was wonderful!
There were many little princesses in the audience, too, dressed as
Ariel and other Disney princesses. I remember Sarah having that
costume one Halloween, and I've seen pictures of Miranda also dressed
as The Little Mermaid. And when Emily and I used to swim at the Y,
we would play that she was Ariel, and I had to be Ursula. Type
casting, I guess. Red Nose day was kinda fun, but since I didn't go
any place, it really hardly mattered. I did add some nice photos to
fb - Sarah Davenport and Little Gracie with red noses. And I had a
red nose photo, too.

Just
when I thought I would never have another chance to wear my poodle
skirt, I was invited to a “sock hop” at a neighbor's condo. They
have just installed bamboo wood floors, and didn't want all sorts of
shoes walking across the new floor and perhaps leaving marks on them.
So, they hosted a sock hop to show off what they had done. The
floors are beautiful, and it was a fun party, although there were no
other poodle skirts.
Memorial
Day. It's not until Monday, but by the time another week has gone
by, all those who gave their lives for America will be forgotten
again.
I love the Ursula costume! We are having our annual visit to Gulf Shores from the U of AL theater group - they do wonderful singing,dancing and acting - I look forward to whatever they share with us this year. I haven't even looked up what they will do because it is always great. I just buy the tickets as soon as I know the dates - They stay for about a month and perform several times a week here at our local theater.
