This n That

Before my recent trip to Asheville, the Budweiser Clydesdale's came to Sun n Fun to strut their stuff and they were magnificent!  I had never seen them in person (or in horse) before and I was very impressed.  They performed all their preparations across the street from the park and I went over and watched for a while.  The care and grooming was meticulous.  The routine had obviously been done many times and everyone played their part to perfection. 

Last Saturday was homecoming here in the park and it was celebrated in part by a nice parade.  There were "floats" around the theme of TV shows from the 50's, 60's and 70's.  The Mickey Mouse Club, Gilligan's Island, Sesame Street, The Adams Family, The Flintstones and others were colorfully displayed.  It was a good time!

Also on Saturday Barbara and I attended a stage play entitled "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!"  It was a hilarious musical comedy and was very well done.  The house was packed and we had great seats, 3 rows from the stage. 

Grand nephew Jason turned 16 on Sunday, so chef Luis roasted a pork shoulder, marinated in his own special seasonings, and it was so good!  J had a few of his friends over for dinner, with more coming later.  It was another fine time at Luis' Cafe!

Barbara and I made plans for her to come visit me in Asheville in the fall to do some site seeing and touring of the parkway with the leaves at their peak.  And, I now have a reservation for Yellowstone!  I'll put it in the itinerary window with the dates.  That's the center piece of my summer travels and I'm very glad to have it booked.  Now I can fill in around it.  I may also go to Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming near the end of July, since I'll already be in the neighborhood.  Plus the USAF Thunderbirds Aerial Demonstration Team will be there and I always love to see them.

This afternoon I saw "The King's Speech" and it is excellent.  The acting is splendid and so is the story.  I could easily see it again.

Thanks for stopping by!
