SOL 19/31 - An Enjoyable Evening

We get together with our Small Group (6 couples) once a month for dinner and Bible Study and lots of conversation.  Usually we meet at someone's home and everyone brings a dish to complement the entree that the host has made.  This month was at our home and was a little different.

We met early for our Bible Study and some fruit and veggies.  Then headed off to a local restaurant and enjoyed a great meal and more conversation,  And then off to "The Sheid". 

We are blessed to have a college campus which is part of Arkansas State University.  Over the years, this campus has grown and five years ago, a Performing Arts Center called The Sheid was built.  They have at least five shows each year and this year was no exception.  Last night we went to see "The Hit Men".  Wow, what music!  It brought back so many memories of our teenage years.  Music from the 60's & 70's. 

The Hit Men consist of five men who have made many hits over the years with groups and individually and have joined together to bring back the memories of that era.  They not only sang those songs, but shared their memories of working with some of the greats - Frankie Valli, Tommy James, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Carly Simons - the list went on. They had us tapping our feet, clapping our hands, dancing in the aisles.  Oh, what a Night!

If they come to your locale, I recommend that you make a date with them.

    This sounds like such a fun thing to do. The minute I read "Oh What a Night" the song played in my head!

    Sounds like a great show. Going back farther back in time a couple of years ago we saw The Marvelous Wonderettes.

    Love the music from that 60's and 70's. I'm always amazed when I hear a song from back then, I still know the words!

    I'd say, "Oh, What a Night" is a perfect tune to be humming today. So many fun parts of your evening!

    I love this song, so I had to immediately click on your post! You drew me in :) This song has many memories for me. I wasn't around when it first came out, but lots of memories hear it with my dad and then having it play it at my wedding. Thanks for getting it in my head this afternoon!

    This sounds like so much fun, Judy. It is wonderful to have college and university plays and events to go to. Thanks for telling about this one; I haven't heard of it.

    What a fun-filled night with music and friends! I will keep this show in mind if they make it to my neck of the woods.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 1/13/15 - Trying "To Do" Retired

Image
Last week was my "first" week of RETIRED.  Humm.... just what does that mean? I can't say that it felt any different.  We just got back from being out of town for 10 days, so it was catch up time.  Picking up Max, unpacking, doing laundry, cleaning up the dead lady bugs that had accumulated on the floor, grocery shopping, mail...  The list seemed endless - retired???? Then a voice mail saying my aunt was in the hospital in Florida.  Many calls trying to figure out what was happening.  Many more calls checking up on her on a daily basis.  Thinks are improving. Now this week, things are slowing down, but how do I wrap my head around being retired?  How do I stop my brain from making my mental "to do list" of things that HAVE to be accomplished?  How do I decide what I REALLY want to do as opposed to what NEEDS to be done and when?  How do I answer people when they ask "what are you going to do now that you're retired?" This is go...
