The morning was wet, and the rain gauge proved it, showing we got 1 5/8 inches of rain yesterday! In addition, it was colder than a well-digger’s butt (a favorite saying of my Dad). We turned up the heat and stayed inside, except to check the rain gauge.
Today, Valentine’s Day decorations got packed away, and Mary wasted zero time—she turned the whole house green using two containers of Saint Patty’s decorations. It looks like a leprechaun moved in and immediately took over the interior design.
I spent time on Facebook and found an interesting bread recipe which I will make on Wednesday or Thursday when the rain comes again!
At 12:30 pm, I fired up The Silver Fox, and we went high-tailing it to the Tustin Seniors Center for Mary’s weekly dose of watercoloring. I picked her up at 3:00 pm, and we headed home. The entire time, I kept hearing a loud humming sound and thought something was wrong with the car! Then it came to me, my concern was for the birds…Humming Birds!
She did it again!!
By the time we got home and had our afternoon Tea Time (4 pm), it was time to get ready to go to the theater with friends. Dru and Carolyn popped over, and we again took The Silver Fox on an escapade down the 55 freeway to The Seagerstro Center for the Arts to see Spamalot.
We, of course, went to dinner at the Silver Trumpet, and I introduced Carolyn to Empress 1908 purple gin.
The drink was a perfect match to my purple shirt!
The four of us had a wonderful dinner and visited until 7:10 pm, when we walked across the street to the theater and arrived at our seats about four minutes before curtain time! The weatherman cooperated because there was no rain on the way to the theater.
Everything was so clean out after today’s deluge!
We stuck the girls in row five and parked ourselves back in row seven—far enough away to look uninvolved, but close enough to run quality control. We kept an eye on them the whole time, just to make sure theydidn’tt start a riot or end up being escorted out.
The show gets underway!
Spamalot, which first galloped onto Broadway in 2005. The original Broadway production was nominated for fourteen Tony Awards and won three, including Best Musical. The musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail has everything that makes a great knight at the theatre, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake. Spamalot features well-known song titles such as “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” “The Song That Goes Like This,” “Find Your Grail,” and more that have become beloved classics in the musical theatre canon
Sit back and get ready to laugh and giggle for two hours!
It seemed the cast was also having fun, and at one point they laughed so hard they stumbled over their lines… the audience roared!
Funny funny funny!
I showed Carolyn Jame’s picture (and vice versa), so we are planning a dinner to introduce the two of them! I wonder how I look wearing diapers, winging my way around the house, and shooting arrows from my bow?
James, a long-time friend and all-around wonderful person!!
Mary and I binge-watched Suits until almost midnight—because if we don’t shut the TV off right before 12, our grandfather-and-grandmother clock duo starts up and chimes like it’s announcing the apocalypse. Then we’re wide awake all night, wondering about our decision to put these two time machines together. The next thing we will know is having a bunch of little wrist watches running around the house!
