Monday

Well it never rained today, although there was some during the night.  The weather was better and is starting to warm up.  The forecast is for great weather starting again mid-week.
  Went for a morning bike ride.  It was pretty cool for that.  In fact I almost wished I had gloves on, LOL.  Didn't make a lot miles, but the longest journey starts with the first step, or something like that.
  I played pool in the afternoon and got some lessons from the boys today.  Pretty good bunch, so we had lots of laughs.  Marg went to Fry's and got some stuff so we can eat for the next few days.  There are lots of sales on liquor & snacks this week in advance of the super bowl weekend.  It was nice that she was able to get out for a while, being cooped up with her cold when the weather was bad.

  We have been before, but the show changes from year to year.  In fact they have different shows for odd or even days, as well as special occasions and a rock & roll show.  The Barleen family run it & I mean family.  Everyone does everything & plays multiple instruments.  For example, the gal singing here also runs the kitchen & they feed all 500 guests in 20 minutes. A nice roast beef dinner.  One of the cool things is the appetizer when you sit down, you have a slice of chocolate cake.  The guy in red, George was the singer with the Tokens & had 12 gold records.  You have likely heard his top hit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight & he still does it well.

  They have more instruments than I can even describe.  This was our 3rd time to the show in 4 years, but the first time we heard the Swiss alpine horns.  Pretty cool!  The guitar player in the middle played with Dottie West & is hilarious.  One of his jokes:
  Ran in to 2 big girls with accents at the bar today.  I mean big girls.  So I said are you girls from Ireland.  One said no Wales.  So I said, Are you whales from Ireland?  I guess you had to be there...
