I completely forgot that I didn't write last night after getting home from Pat O'Brien's at Universal. We took a van, about fourteen of us, and met up with another ten or twelve who were staying in one of the neighboring complexes. Did I say it rained? Well it was a damp day which made a bit of a difference in the general ambience but most people were content to stay indoors and just drink and listen to the dueling pianos. Great entertainment, particularly the two men. The lady was a bit past her best before date but I rather liked her smoky bluesy voice so I was entertained by all three. I am impressed by talent and so I can sit and watch a guy play and sing all night. So we ate corned beef and drank hurricanes and guiness...you can guess which was mine. Switched to V and T and found that more to my liking but the hurricane was quite delicious. One must be careful drinking them so I knew when to switch to the more controlled substance. Got back here a little before nine. It absolutely poured during the night. Buckets. Woke me and for a bit I couldn't quite figure out what the noise was. This house is very soundproof and it had to be a mighty rain for us to hear it. This morning there wasn't a drop to be seen anywhere. This state is just one big pile of sand.
Today was lunch at Red Lobster. I am happy to follow the crowd, as long as I don't have to organize it and set it up and collect the money and make the reservations...I like to show up. Same for yesterday. Today was fine but as of five this evening, my digestive system isn't thanking me. I had shrimp in several forms with salad and the most delicious rolls/biscuits that I suspect were deep fried. Can they do that, without telling you? They didn't offer butter because there was so much fat already in them. Well just too much fat, I am fearful. I will have to coast for the evening and eat fruit. The cast of characters was the women of Reserve and a few additions who are known to the c of c. I know all of them now, and they are all very nice. One of them brought fudge, that I just remembered is in my purse!! Many are leaving for Myrtle on Saturday. We are having the pictou County party on Friday night so there will be a few who will just drop in for a quick hello/goodbye and then be off. Not as warm in Myrtle as it is here. Today is beautiful. I was in the pool this afternoon and will make a return visit tonight, when it's dark. Nothing like a moonlight swim.
Went looking for pretty buttons today for my new black jacket. I think the manufacturers ought to put pretty buttons on things so that I don't have to go and buy new ones. I must go to Joann's because I didn't find them at Michael, which I really didn't think was a possibility. Just wanted to do a quick check anyway. I keep thinking about my relatively non-existent shopping list but I may wait to do a bit of looking in St Louis. I will be in the stores with Laura, I know that. Speaking of the St Louis visit, I am afraid it might be winter there, or at least cooler than it is here. I may not be ready!!
So, golf in the morning. I can't do any worse than the last day so I will go at it with that outlook. I could actually do better. Nonetheless, as I said, I am a nine hole golfer and Mike is prepared for that. I am his spotter, as his bad eye prohibits him from successfully tracking the ball after he blasts it off the tee. He needs me for that!! LOL!!! We are going for an eight o'clock tee time but will go earlier to hit all of our best balls off the practice tee. Injustice at it's worst. Lunch is included with the price of the round so it will be a rather inexpensive outing, all things considered.
I had something I wanted to write about and cannot for the life of me remember what it was. That's about it for now, in that case; stay tuned, be safe and I'll be back.
