FRIDAY AND A DAY OF MUSIC

Remarkably, my weight was down at home by 2.2 pounds (to 142) and at T.O.P.S. by 2.1 (to 143). That would have been reason for great rejoicing except for the fact that I was up so high last week. Oh, well. Here's Sharon with her Japan outfit, which she said she chose expecially for me:                              


Home, I took a short nap, then went to lunch. Ate with Kathie, Paula, and LaVerne; Denise was out and Pat sat elsewhere. It was fried chicken and looked pretty good, but I had the Santa Fe salad and took half home.

Went to Happy Hour at 2:00 and enjoyed a Margarita while being wowed by the fabulous Dynatic Duo:

He's a marvelous keyboarder!

When I got back to my place, I saw that George Wimberg had called and I immediately called him back. He's still semi-active in the undertaking business, along with his son and grandson and is in good physical shape. Considering he turned ninety in July, that's pretty good. Unfortunately, his wife, Marilyn, is not good. She's in an assisted living facility with some kind of dementia--I'm not sure if it's Alzheimer's or not. We had a great tiime catching up and will keep in touch. 

Had dinner with the usuals, including Pat; it was gumbo and cornbread, which I thought was pretty good. What happened after was unprecedented in my experience: Mindy announced there would be a ballet troupe in an hour. I went to that and was so glad I did, as it was lovely:




It was a great, unexpected pleasure and we all enjoyed the musical day so much. It was such a contrast: the Dynamic Duo singing the fifties hits and the beautiful young girls dancing to the classic Nutcracker. As for me, I loved them both.
