Hot Hot And Hot Tucson

Well I went to Tucson for the weekend. And I can just say HOT. 101 degrees. I went to see a friend from high school that I haven't seen or talked to in 30 years. Her name is Colleen, But I still call her Cokey.
I had a great time, Friday after I landed and my parents picked me up.
I was able to get one of my favorite things a Sonic Slushie, Yum.
Then on my way to meet Cokey. She looks the same to me. We hung out and did just what we did in High School drive all over town in the car. So we chatted and laughed and told old stories and got hungry.
We met up with the families at " My Big Fat Greek Resturant". There was a group of ten. What fun we had telling stories and eating wonderful food.
We all felt sorry for our server, not only did she have to serve such a crazy bunch, but when the greek music started she had to dance around the resturant with her fellow servers. Then there was the food that she had to light up with fire and booze. Opa! She earned her tip for sure. OPA!
The next morning out to the Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then shopping for the afternoon BBQ. Then we got to do the best thing ever. Go into the pool and cool off and chat some more. Then later that night we caught up with our children stories . One more day at breakfast and back to my parents house.
I was able to visit with Tricia and the parents. For all of who are wondering. My Dad is doing great and so is my Ma. They seem to be going on with life. And of course Curly Sue is helping to keep them young at heart.
There will be pictures later. I did happen to notice on my camera that the last three times I took pictures, they all are in a resturant with family or friends. Nothing says fun like good food and good company. (No Ernie did not go with me.:( )

That crazy weekend

It was the weekend of July 25th. My sweet friend Linda's Birthday weekend. The girls get together for all the birthdays, and this one was no different. Our plan was to go and see the King and I and have lunch together. Later that evening we met at Harrah's Rincon to see Patti Labelle.
Now the best laid plans:
Here comes the kicker. Our Sweet Dante calls and asks to stay at the house. (No Prolbem). Later he calls and adds four other people to the guest list. Then informs me that I am going to cook foreveryone, (if I was going to be home that would be no trouble and fun).
So the first wave arrives at 3:00AM and the second wave at 5:00Am.
The dance group Dante and friends need to be in Del Mar about 7:45AM.
Here we go getting everyone up and out the door. Remember we have 1 bathroom. To see the King and I we need to leave our home at 10:00Am.
It's about an hour away. We get to the Lawerence Welk Theater and have a wonderful lunch. The show was so fun and we had a wonderful time.
We got back to our house about 5:00PM and then rested until 6:15 and off we were to pick up Moe and drive another 1 1/2 hours to see Patti Labelle. We met Linda there. Both shows were so great and so different.
The King and I was a wonderfuly done play and Patti was a fun concert.
What a woman. She sang her face off and made us laugh and cry.
We got home about 1:00Am. What a Saturday. Ernie and I really had a good time. We are thankful for good friends and good company and wonderful enterianers that made our July 26th the best. Happy Birthday Linda. Next week is Moe's.
