Sunday - another day at the theater!

Sunday, we went back to Cape Coral to the Cultural Park Theater for the presentation of "The Comedy Murders of 1940".  At first, it started out a bit slow...but after the intermission, it picked up...and was pretty funny.  They sell tickets for a drawing for a gift basket.  I bought one ticket for $1.00 and yesterday, I won it.  It was full of lots of goodies...including a bottle of wine, two wine glasses, two tickets to future plays, but since I already have my ticket for the next play...I'll pass these tickets on to my friends.
After the show, we all stopped and ate dinner at Geo's again.  They serve Italian food and it was delicious!

Saturday...today...a day of shopping!!!!

Linda and I took off to Ft. Myers to Beall's...a great place to shop...and a first time visit for me.  Oh my gosh...I've never seen to many clothes in one place...and I loved them all.  Finally, after I felt like I had tried on everything in the store, I narrowed it down to right many pieces...and as I started to leave...I saw another section...with MORE clothes.  Well, by then, I was tired and I KNOW Linda was...she had been browsing while waiting on me half the day.  We made several other stops...and then had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays.  We were both exhausted when we got home....BUT...Linda grilled steaks, baked some potatoes, made a salad...and fixed strawberry shortcake for our supper.  

Friday 2-11-11 MORE MAH JONGG

Today, Linda and I played Mah Jongg with the "pros" here in St. James City.  This group of ladies have been meeting on Friday's to play for several years...taking turns playing at each other's house.  Today we played at Tucki Folkers on Sanibel Drive. 


Then Gene and I went to Mary and Paul's for supper..."pulled pork"....macaroni and cheese with salad...and a hugh chocolate chip cookie that Betty had baked in the shape of a heart...that we all shared. 

Thursday 2-10-11 Mahjongg today!

This afternoon, Linda and I went to Sandy's at the motel and played mah jongg with her and Judy Door.  It was a good review for all of us...and a fun afternoon...to boot!


Too windy today for fishing...

Wednesday 2-9-11 Spaghetti Supper at Betty and Larry's

What a fun night!  We went to a spaghetti dinner tonight at Betty and Larry's...along with Linda and Tilmon, Mary and Paul Bickford, and Ernest Knighton.  Supper was delcious...and her dessert was not delicious...it was beautiful!!  It was a chocolate cupcake with a dollop of a creamy cheese topping...with some chocolate on top of that...which was topped by a chocolate dipped strawberry with an arrow that appeared to be piercing the strawberry.  All of this was in a valentine decoration.

Tuesday - 2-9-11 ...a cooler day here

Tonight, Mary Bickford and I drove to Cape Coral to play music with the Cape Coral Dulcimer Club.  Mary learned to play last year when I was here...mainly plays by ear, but I've explained how to play by reading the tab.  This way, you can play more tunes quicker...even if you don't know them. 


So, Mary was able to play most of the tunes...and a lot of them, we had already practiced.  We had a good time...and it was more fun having someone ride with me.  We didn't get home until 10:00 pm.  A fun night...for sure!

Monday 2-7-11 "The King's Speech"

Today, I rode with Sandy Garner and Micki, both of whom are staying at the motel for the month of February....and we went to Ft. Myers to see a movie..."The King's Speech".  It was a good movie...a good way to spend the afternoon.


I didn't weigh in today...I knew it would NOT be good...too much good eating lately!


Tonight, we went to Linda's for supper.  Ernest cooked a delicious supper for all of us...with a big bowl of yummy mashed potatoes...guess who brought the leftover mashed potatoes home...you're right...MOI!!!!
