Hot and muggy occupied Cincinnati this weekend … so, how was your weather? Did you get a chance to enjoy the weekend?
Although our Sunday was low-key, our weekend included two nights on the ballroom floor, looking at tiles for a back-splash, a trip to our new town’s historical society, and some errands. Not being a soccer fan, but interestingly, I only saw the last 90 seconds of the USA-Portugal match.
Looking ahead to this week, two items of note. First, the next edition of Satire Bits is the 100th in the series. Following that post, Life: The Musical continues with Act 6: Teens, which will feature songs with teen(s), teenager(s), teenage, or any teenage year in the song title. Curtain time is Wednesday, 9:30 pm (Eastern US).

My weekend was spent in hospital… and believe it or not they don’t even have a putt putt course, let alone a driving range…

Two nights on the ballroom floor–that’s wonderful. My husband and I really need to take a ballroom dance class some day. Maybe when the kids are gone. They’d mock us too much if we did it while they still lived at home. Then again, they mock us all the time anyway… 😉

We’re waiting rain this afternoon and will probably be camped out indoors most of the week – but not complaining as it keeps the lawn watered. If the weather guy is right, people may need canoes on Thurs – how appropriate is that?

I don’t recall ever seeing this particular Carol Burnett clip! How funny! Do you think they actually showed that on television or was that an outtake? It seems unlikely, doesn’t it!

I’ll look forward to our musical date on Wednesday evening. 🙂
