We went to South Coast Repertory to see “Trip To Bountiful”. An excellent play that really hit home for Paul with thoughts about Georgia and Kat’s desire to “go home”. Summary: This gem of a play is about Carrie Watts, an aging widow who wants to go home. Trapped in a tiny apartment in Houston, she yearns for Bountiful, the Gulf Coast town where she grew up and spent the best years of her life.
And—latest pension check in hand—she’s determined to get there, come hell or high water. The journey is filled with frequent humor and a tenderness that’s both heartbreaking and life affirming. Please join us for the day!
An excellent play

We went VFR to Old Ranch to join the dinner dance. We danced from 5pm until about 9pm with friends.
Martini time
When we got home, we watched “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” with John Wayne circa 1949. Summary: After Custer and the 7th Cavalry are wiped out by Indians, everyone expects the worse. Capt. Nathan Brittles is ordered out on patrol but he’s also required to take along Abby Allshard, wife of the Fort’s commanding officer and her niece, the pretty Olivia Dandridge who are being evacuated for their own safety. Brittle is only a few days away from retirement and Olivia has caught the eye of two of the young officers in the Company, Lt. Flint Cohill and Lt. 2nd Lt. Ross Pennell. She’s taken to wearing a yellow ribbon in her hair, a sign that she has a beau in the Cavalry, but refuses to say who she is wearing it for.
We need John Wayne back so we have some real movie stars
