ALL IS WELL

My goodness how time flies by!  I just realized I have not posted on my blog for over a week. For those not on Facebook, you might have thought we disappeared in a sand storm.
This year is so much different from last year for me. We seem to be signing up for more things than we did last year and with the play performance coming soon we will be up to our necks in extra practices.  It is coming slow and some people are coming along really great but some of the newer ones are having trouble getting into character and delivering their lines quickly.  I guess here it is not quite as serious if mistakes happen as everyone knows these are older people, acting roles much younger than their actual years and that adds humour. Well at least we are hoping for humour.....???

Last week saw us going to suppers, a trip to Harrah's casino in Maricopa, card Bingo, Texas Holdum, billiards, Day trip to Mexico for dental and vision appts, video taping of the play (to see how bad we are) two couples in for supper and cards one night and of course pegs and jokers night.

This coming Wednesday and Thursday sees us going back to Algodones Mexico (3 hours each way) to get our glasses and teeth.....Our appointments are for 8:30 in the morning so we will go in the day before and play a little. (wink)   My glasses cost a lot more this year as it seems the price for the good frames as really gone up....But still about 1/3 of the price at home.  The dentures are the same as quoted last year  $500 for an upper plate and a partial lower plate with the silver holders. At home that would be pushing $3000. 

The only funny thing that happened re Mexico this year was, as I was getting measured etc for my glasses, Harvey had to use the bathroom in the vision office. He went in and was in there for about 10 mins when this woman came rushing in saying I need to use your bathroom, proceeded to go to the door and pulled on it....the door opened and all I saw was Harvey's jacket swinging out and her yelling, Oh sorry I did not know anyone was in there.  She then walked by me laughing and saying " Sure glad I had 3 beer before I saw that"   Then the toilet would not flush down for Harvey and a worker had to go in and try to fix it.....Later in the day when I came back, I used toilet and it said on the wall "Do not put toilet paper in the toilet bowl"???????? Ok where do I put it?   I tastefully wrapped up the offender and stuck down in the garbage.......All I could think was how much other stuff was in that garbage...... I also think maybe Harvey did not read the sign and that was the cause of the plugging.
