Whew!!!

What a weekend and Monday too.

I know that I have kind of checked in and that you know how full my weekend was.

The Cornish Cousins Pasty dinner and the following Milwaukee Brass Orchestra concert were SO wonderful.  Felicia and I sat with a wonderful gentleman who is a doctor and has worked all over the world with people who need his help the most of all.  He worked with Doctors without Borders for a while but also as a ministry where he was needed most.   Felicia and I were beyond admiration and awe.

The meal was so good.  Pasties, pickled beets, cole slaw and the best brownie bar with the Cornish Flag on it.   I ate every bite.

The concert was spectacular.  I have the playbill if you want to see it.

Saturday, Bobbie and Bill took me to dinner to celebrate one of the most important days in my life, the day I married Bobbie's Dad.           They took me to Sweet Basil, one or our favorite restaurants.   They brought me a beautiful long stemmed red rose which is opening so beautifully,  I walk by it and smile often during the day.

Sunday I went to Irish Fest with three of my Celtic Women friends.   Felicia, LuAnn and Kathy.  We left at about quarter to eight from Deer Trace park and ride.   It was a special day.   I ran into so many friends.   I did the things that mean Irish Fest to me.   I marched in the parade with my Celtic Women friends.   I ate the food that means something to me.   I shared a glass of Mead with Kathy.   It is sad to realize that so many of the artists that meant Irish Fest to me are gone.   The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem eg.   A special day indeed.

Today I went to Bible Study.  We had a good turnout and mainly straightened out the Johns and James of the early days.  Next I went on to see Mom.   Joy of joys.  Dolores and Ken were there when I arrived so I got a visit with them.  Then just as I was leaving, Mary Margaret arrived.  So good to see that girl.  I go through my life as Mary Helen.  She is Mary Margaret.  That is just fine our Mom/Grandma deserves the unadorned name.

Next I joined my friend Peggy G.  and Mary D. (fellow authors) for lunch and then a meeting at Book Heads with the Cream City Writers.

I am so glad to have all  my fun things done.  They came too close together.

How does that happen.

Love to you all
