Yesterday started out as a normal Saturday and with our normal Saturday routine. We met the neighbors –Lora, Sheryl and Ian- for breakfast. I received gifts- a pleasant surprise- since it was my birthday. From Lora some tequila and a dozen Wilson golf balls, which I'll put to good use. From Sheryl and Ian a book – Three Sheets by Zane Lamprey, a four pack of Terrapin Moo-Hoo, a six pack of Left Hand Milk Stout (both of which are excellent brews) and a twelve pack mixture (three bottles of four brews) of Left Hand beers, so I’m set with beer for awhile.
Then to the library where I picked-up a book I had on hold (happy birthday to me from the Cherokee county library) – Shock Wave by John Sandford, one of my favorite authors. http://www.johnsandford.org/
Then home. I was able to give my MINI a brief wash job. It was nasty from all the rain lately, but I gave her a quick wash and at least got the big stuff off.
Then to my daughter’s who hosted a surprise party (51 years after my last surprise party), organized by her and Sharon. My brother Terry and his wife Lisa were there; also my sister Carolyn and Jane who is like a sister. I was surprised at the party and amazed they put it together.
We had a great meal. Shrimp appetizers, creamy mashed potatoes and rib-eye steaks, which were excellently grilled by Chad.
I received two Amazon gift cards; from Sharon and Alison, Chad and the kids, I received two belts and Tom Petty concert tickets!
The last concert I attended was at the end of this past summer; was Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (http://www.gracepotter.com/) at Chastain Park. An excellent concert by one high energy lady, she played, danced and bounced all over the stage for over two hours. It was the first concert I had been to in years and it was well worth the wait. I love her music. If you get a chance to see Grace in concert: GO!
All-in-all I had a great day yesterday and I can’t wait to see Tom Petty.
