Well, you've read the notes, the notes were wet, and now it is time for you to post until the wet cows come home.

So, last night I worked concessions for a fund raiser for Pizza Klatch, a local support organization for kids in high school. They had a live auction, performers (Cris Williamson was the main draw), testimonials, and an on-line auction. I'd never heard of Cris Williamson, but she was very good. A highly enjoyable...and VERY long...evening. It was ~~only supposed~~ expected to last about 2 1/2 hours, but it was almost three and a half hours long! Some people left early, but everyone seemed to enjoy the whole evening.

For the on-line auction, I actually bid and won a "Unique and Fun Wall Lamp." Here are a few pictures. This is with the light off:

And here it is with light on:

And here's a close-up of the center piece of glass:

I think it's made of tin and is very light. It does bend somewhat easily. There already were a few bent places, but they're not very noticeable at all. I didn't have to bid the full value of the lamp, but since all the auction items were donated, Pizza Klatch got the donations.

It's supposed to be 30 inches tall. I don't know how deep it is, but you can see it here:

Today, I'm going to Lakewood Playhouse to see their last performance of Forbidden Broadway. Sharry, a friend of Tom and Jane and mine, is in the show. This month, she will also be in Broadway Olympia's next show, The Wedding Singer. I hope it's good.

But first, sleep.

Good night, and have a good day, all!

Good morning

I did most of the driving yesterday, driving not through Florida and South Carolina and 20 mikes of North Caro,ina until we arrived here in Lumberton

I snoozed while Vixdad drove through Georgia

Didn't the movie AGATHA with Vanessa Redgrave also deal with Agatha Christie's 11 missing days?

Druxy · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2019, 05:26:13 AM »

We watched BLACK KLANSMAN last night.

We didn't really care for it.

There's a good true story there, but I think it could have been told better.

Does this mean this is at least "First post from New York" today?

Those are such fun, George! Thanks for posting them.

Good morning to all

Then we checked in to our hotel, went down the block to the Cracker Barrel for dinner and back to the room for an early night

Bk - Thanks for sharing your feelings about Grant's mom.

My dad is near that age, and we've taken to saying my mom is "only 90." And yet every additional year at that point with good functioning and really enjoying the good things is a blessing.

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #23 on:** February 03, 2019, 06:13:56 AM »

Ah, Lumberton. Which place are you staying in these days, vixmom?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** February 03, 2019, 06:16:48 AM »

Never saw that Redgrave/Hoffman movie. Must do something about that.

Good morning, all!

I was awakened by the phone at 2:00 this morning. It was the neighbor below me. I wasn't quite awake, and I thought she was complaining about the cats making too much noise. I was thinking, they're making that much noise romping across her ceiling?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2019, 06:32:47 AM »

Then I thought, does she have a noisy ghost? About then I was awake, and she made a comment about a leak in the bathroom. I went to check: bathroom floor dry, no running water, no sign of a leak. She told me there was a big leak over her toilet and water was running down the walls, and I told her it might be one of my pipes under the floor boards, but it could also be from another apartment. We both agreed the plumbers this apartment's management employs are dim bulbs.

I went back to bed and she went back to evacuating her bathroom. At 6:30 the alarm rang, and I fed the cats. I went back to bed, and the next thing I remember is waking to find Annabelle sitting next to me and resting her front paws on my body. It was around 8:00, and she crawled under the blankets with me. Around 8:30 a loudly wailing Thatch, who's been talking quite a lot lately, jumped onto the bed, and I decided it was time to rise.

I need to make a turkey run this morning, and I plan to have a quiet day after that doing very little.
