My clubhouse offers several shows a month, since March is such a busy month I only signed up for one show. I wanted to leave some dates open so I could get together with friends I haven't seen all season.
Trying to make a date for lunch or dinner is a difficult thing to do. Everyone has commitments, they either have family visiting from out of state, play cards, have show tickets, or have doctor appointments. If you are trying to get together with a couple it's a sure bet one or the other has a doctor's appointment.
I finally got together with old friends who lives down here permanently. We spent a wonderful afternoon at a local deli where I had the very best hot corn beef sandwich on rye bread.
We had a great visit and a delicious lunch.
I have another friend who lives down here permanently, spoken to her on the phone several times but with one thing and another, we were not able to get together. She was especially busy going to rehearsals for a show that her condo was working on.
If your friend is going to appear on stage - you go see the show. That's how I got to see her. It was a fun production and my friend not only sang in the show, she did the make-up for the cast.
Another thing that I have been working on is trying to use up the food in my freezer. It has turned out to be a no win situation. Friends are starting to go back north SO we go out for a good-by lunch or dinner. I wind up taking home doggie bags, my inventory just gets bigger instead of smaller. I can just eat so much!!
PACKING UP
Most of the clothes I took down with me, I haven't worn. It's been such a cold winter I rarely wore any short sleeve tops or capri pants, forget the bathing suits altogether.
As a matter of fact I had to buy a long heavy bathrobe which I wore most mornings.
One of my blogging friends reminded me not to carry a scissors in my handbag otherwise the security at the airport would take it away from me. Thanks for the reminder.
The local supermarket has been running promotions - buy one - get one free. Well, I fell for that but how much can I use SO I'll be packing up the surplus food in my car.
What I don't put in the car will go to some friends and neighbors. They'll have lots of goodies to remember me by!
Pretty soon I'll be flying high, winding up and unpacking!
