I once slept with a guy named Robert.

I know a Robert that I want to sleep with.

Today, I'm going to help my sister and her boyfriend move the refrigerator that's in her garage to our parents' house. My sister doesn't use it and my mom wants one in her garage. I don't think that it'll be too difficult, just heavy.

The refrigerator got moved without much trouble. Larry rented a small U-Haul truck with a ramp. It worked perfectly.

After that, I'm supposed to meet my friend Margo and her friend Marsha for a late lunch at the local Panera's, but I'm also supposed to go to my parents' for dinner. Oh, what to do? That might be a bit too much to eat...but we'll see. I can easily eat light at Panera's so that I can have something at my parents'.

I'm not going to eat at my parents' tonight. My mom is making a meatloaf, so it'll still be good tomorrow. I'll go over then and visit and eat.

George · « **Reply #94 on:** August 07, 2011, 04:26:16 PM »

And now, I'm off to Panera for some yummy food and friendly conversation.

Be back later.

Ginny, I loved seeing the banns. Every time I see that word I think of the kid in 'Spellbound" who gets knocked out of the spelling bee for not knowing it.

Ohhhhh, that SPELLBOUND.

Yeah, the documentary.

As I was saying...

Today is E. Faye Butler's last day as Aunt Eller. -Terry Burrell starts on Tuesday. Well...

During one of her exits, E. Faye would make ad lib about cooking something in her kitchen. Each day she would be cookin' up something different. So...

In honor of her last day, the cast and crew hosted a potluck dinner between shows based on the various foods that she had rattled off over the past couple of weeks and months. A list went up and people chose the food they wanted to cook. So...

Baked Ham
Fried Chicken
Pork Ribs
Baked Beans
Potato Salad
Okra and Tomatoes
Fried Corn
Collard Greens
Rutabagas
Cornbread
Deviled Eggs
Hoe Cakes
Plum Preserves
Green Beans
Egg Pie
Banana Pudding
Custard with Raspberry Syrup
Fried Green Tomatoes
Etc., etc., etc.

There was a LOT of food.

Well, that made me hungry.

DR George, chuckle, chuckle. You may remember my brother's first name is George.

I'm glad you were able to manage your evening better.

My niece with her two nephews, our two grand nephews.

One more. The 3 1/2 year old loved the entire weekend. I like this one of him sitting on his father's lap. The little one was rather squished in his life jacket. When I was holding him I had to keep adjusting it out of his face.

I thought that they might be her sons, whcih would still make them your grand nephews.

I thought maybe I typed something wrong. My beautiful vivacious niece doesn't even have a boyfriend.

The view of Lake Arrowhead taken after the wedding was over.

Great view.

I spent many summer vacations at Arrowhead.

Back from rehearsal and a great dinner at Kansas City Barbecue. I had a brisket sandwich, fries, and baked beans. I could barely finish the sandwich, ate only a handful of fries, and ate two-thirds of the small thing of baked beans. I really think my tummy has shrunk quite a bit - normally I could have finished everything and had room for more.

Melody had the best rehearsal she's had. We didn't actually have people there (I guess people are busy on Sundays at two). There are certain things we've been working on religiously, most importantly, how to take charge from the first entrance and never let the audience go, ever. Today, for the first time, she did exactly that - she was superb. Her moves were sharp, her energy was high, her vocals were great and she really took control of her patter. It was so much fun to see. She knew it right away, too. I only had three teeny-tiny little notes. We're doing one more run on Tuesday night - but she is VERY ready.

Great to hear. And would love to hear her one of these days. Any videos of her on youtube yet?

I'm not sure if I've been there before. I asked my brother & he remembered going water skiing there but not that we stayed with friends of our parents, which is the time I remember him water skiing at a lake. Maybe we didn't stay with family friend's since I can't remember who they were. Whichever lake the trip was at my sister & I caught a fish & put it in the bathtub to keep it until dinner. We felt so bad we returned it to the lake unharmed.

I've been watching a talented friend - one who's neither a go-getter nor, I fear, a survivor - on the road to Crash and Burn today. I can do nothing but watch this occur and wonder why the hell someone with so much potential got himself into this condition. It's truly appalling.

I can't say more than I have, but this friend needs some serious vibes, so please send them.

Hi Jose. What is egg pie?

Isn't it like a quiche?

My 1st guess but it could be like an egg custard pie.

BINGO!

Intermission!

*I watched from the podium during the matinee, and I'm watching from the house tonight... It really is a beautiful production of a beautiful show.
