Mid Life Crisis

  We had such a great crowd and so much fun last week, I am very sorry it took me so long to post, but all that “work stuff” kept getting in the way.  That and the fact I have been alternating vehicles and kept forgetting my camera.  This was our best legion crowd in quite some time and they were ready to party.  As you can see from some of the shots, we had some friends drift over from an earlier luau - Melanie’s ankle flowers kept distracting me and Dick’s shirt was an eye-popper.  Betty was back from the great North and brought the whole band some salmon - we have such wonderful friends.  Sorry to say we aren’t back at the Legion until August 13, so save your energy - stay in the shade, drink a beer or margarita.  Keep checking back to the site for news on the TAMMIES.

  Just one sad little picture via my Blackberry because I have left my camera in my truck.  This was at the Open House/Grand Opening for Bernadette’s business on Camino Seco - we played outdoors and got some attention, but no one called the cops on us.  There was some good food and a Margarita Fountain that saw plenty of use.  Joanne, Kathy, Claire & Shane showed up along with fellow agent Julie Burnett & former agent Leah Geistfeld.  It was nice to play some of the newer tunes that don’t see much airplay in Green Valley.  Our thanks again to Bernadette for asking us to take part.

  We were celebrating Gloria’s birthday (Leah, you did a great job!) and Jim & Kathy Simmons even got a conga line going - never a bad thing.  I left my camera in the car the first set and I was stuffing my face the second so I hope some of the other picture takers share some with me.  Lola, Cher & EJ had a vivacious table and Wild Bill even made an appearance - unfortunately only for a slow dance.  As he told us, he can get down, but might not be able to make it back up.  We had a crowd that was out to have fun - mission accomplished.  The Elks will be our only gig in July, it will be precious to us!
