What a week!


I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Just taking a break.

This has been an interesting week. The fridge broke down again and Anna decided it was time to get a new one. That meant tearing out the old one. While Anna went out for parts, George and I started taking out the zillion screws required for removal of the fridge. It wasn’t long before the guys from the park started drifting over to help. There was much consultation as to how the job should be done.

Anna found many of the necessary tools and also did her part in the installation.

Everyone had a hand in it. By the end of the day we had it all tore out and the new one put in. It sure was good to have lots of help. What a great bunch of guys!
Anna and I went to a line dancing class at the Rec Hall. I actually learned how to do a couple line dances and found it to be great fun.

Anna taught an orgami class at the Rec Hall and had a very large turn-out. Everyone really enjoys her classes.  The Rec Hall was a busy place. There were also a couple of ladies doing some sewing there.

And as usual, there were a  couple people working on a  puzzle  at the end of the Hall-I was one of them.  It is such a warm, family atmosphere at the Hall and I always enjoy going over there to see what is happening.

Tonight a bunch of us from the Park went to a dinner theatre. We had a nice dinner and then were entertained by the Halbrook family which consisted of two brothers- one on the guitar and  one on the banjo, a son of the banjo player on  bass,  his wife on mandolin and another fellow played the drums. The mother, who was 84 also played and sang a few tunes. One guy did an Elvis act and got down into the audience and put on quite a show.

Besides singing and playing, they did a comedy routine which was hilarious. During the intermission, they sold raffle tickets on free meals at the restaurant  and tickets for their  dinner theatre. The proceeds went into their daughter’s college fund.The daughter was there also and  she was a lovely young lady. Lots of prizes were given away. My friend George won a dinner theatre ticket. Everyone went home happy.

The weather was much warmer today and I even got to sit out in the sun this afternoon and soak up the rays. After all the cold weather we have been having it sure did feel good. I am looking forward to several more days of sunshine and warmth.

Keep warm.
