This morning I got up bright and early to go garage sale-ing with Carol. We found more than we expected, since there were a couple of neighborhood sales. I managed to spend a whole dollar and got a book, two notepads, and some mailing labels for my buck. Carol found lots of good stuff.
Ken came over and we hung out until after lunch, when Dick and Carol and Ken and I went for a walk to Tyler Junior College, which is only blocks from their house. We walked around the athletic field and managed to get in an hour's walk. Jeff called while we were walking to wish his Dad a happy birthday. He will be leaving for Qatar on Tuesday and not returning until October. Tiffinie will be keeping the home front, including Pink, while he is out of the country.
This evening we met Dick and Carol at the Holiday Inn on Broadway to attend the Tyler Chorale Spring Gala, with special guests, the Tyler Big Band. The dinner and musical entertainment were birthday gifts from Dick and Carol to both of us--Thanks! We really enjoyed the entertainment. The band musicians were extremely talented, including the female vocalist, Veronica Casals. The songs were all from the big band era, so lots of nostalgia.
Terri called during the pre-dinner entertainment to wish Ken a happy birthday. Rebecca and Cathy timed their call for after dinner. Ken had a good birthday--some consolation for finding himself closer to 70 than 60!
Just noticed on Facebook that Annie got her hair cut and colored, and her mom managed to snap a pic.
I am trying to recreate blog entries for the last week from some partial notes. Wednesday is a blank, which makes it tough. Gotta at least make notes every day!
Our Droids stopped receiving GPS signals yesterday, which makes all the location based apps pretty much useless. The phone is approximating our location from cell towers and wifi signals.
