This bronchitis better go away soon! I get grumpy!
We were up at oh-dark-thirty this morning as Mary must be in LA at 8:00 am. We tip-toed around so as not to wake the roosters in the hood. At 5:54 am, I was in the office and began the journey to our master bedroom. I had night blindness, and I thought the door was closed into the bedroom. When I reached up to grab the knob, it was not the knob I was looking for. We were both a little shocked!
Mary got ready in just one hour, which was a minor miracle. While she was getting ready, I made coffee for us and backed her car out into the driveway. Then, I drove it around the block to warm it up and ensured the Sirius XM radio was working properly.
She was out the door at 7:00 am sharp! Precious roared down the street, leaving a slight layer of burnt rubber behind and a cloud of dust! It is a one-hour drive.

She knew most of the people being honored and was able to make contact with them about potential research projects.

I planned to take it easy but as things normally go, I managed to walk almost two miles around the house doing “stuff” like replacing our American Flag with a 4’x5′ version, cleaning out the entranceway closet, ordering vitamins, working on the website for tonight’s adventure, moving boxes into the garage attic, opening up and removing all the Easter decorations (Mary will “decorate” later), move the dog supplies into the heater closet, and about fifty other needed-to-be-done things.

I went into the shower at 5:30 pm, and I was transformed into Hoppa-Long Cassidy when she arrived at 5:45 pm. We departed for the Elks to get there at 6:15 pm. Tonight was the Spaghetti Western Night to raise money for the travel club.
Did You Know? The spaghetti Western is a broad subgenre of Western films produced in Europe. It emerged in the mid-1960s in the wake of Sergio Leone’s film-making style and international box-office success. Foreign critics used the term because most of these Westerns were produced and directed by Italians.

This YouTube is a three minute display of their playing at a local venue; the band was terrific for us!
We had a ball and were arrested twice by the local sheriff and thrown into the hoosegow (that IS how it is spelled, blame your ancestors) twice!
She did it; no, she did it!
We dined, danced, and drank sasparilla!
Too much fun!!!
Mary and I went two-stepping and arranged to do the Cowboy Cha Cha along with Donna and Bob!
Bob got his new sheriff’s badge so we took a quick snapshot!
It was helpful having our lawyers with us this evening.
There was a mustache-growing contest! You must see Bob Duda and Donna on the website!
Improvement? I think not!
We headed out around 9:30 pm and went to Aces to show off our getups. Mary likes me to wear my new duster! We had one glass of wine and came the last two miles home before 10:15 pm! We crashed immediately.
