Mama Mia

I went with Kathy and Joyce to see Mama Mia today. I saw the Broadway show years ago with Sherry and Chuck on a bus trip and I loved it. The movie was fun, of course not as great as the play. But, we did lunch first, then movie, then a drink at the house after. It worked out to be a wonderful afternoon with friends, and that is what life is about, isn't it??
PS Pierce Brosnan should never sing. Never.

Heat Wave

We are definitely having a heat wave here in Ocean County. It is brutal out. I am choosing to remain in. Even sitting in the shade is too much outdoors. The wooden boat show is today along with the ice cream festival, and we stayed home. It is just too hot!!

Stone Harbor Week

We spent a week in Stone Harbor with son, wife, child, other mother. It was nice weather, with the exception of a huge, quick moving, loud thunderstorm that blew up one evening. It was grandma to the rescue, going to save wife and grandson coming home from Springer's, and then saving son, who was out on a walk. Big rain started the minute we got back to the house. It was an exciting storm, and you know I love them!!

C. enjoyed the rides at Wildwood and the Water Park. He also loves to go to the arcade; Mommy took him once and husband and I took him another time; he kept saying "That's what I'm talkin' about." while playing one game. Cute!!

He went miniature golfing, and made a hole in one! The only person in the group to do that!!

The beach, as usual, beautiful. My heel has been a problem, so I restricted the walking I could do. I rode my bike around, however, and that was fine.

Tomorrow I have made plans to kayak with Kathy. I will see how that goes.

Back from Vacation

We are back from Virginia. We spent a week at a timeshare in Williamsburg. It was Governor's Green, and it was very nice. Tom and Peg and Jack and Peg came with us. The guys golfed while we shopped. We spent one day going to Shirley Plantation, which was a very nice place. The tour was interesting. Robert E. Lee's mom grew up there and he loved the place.
We also had a wonderful day touring Jamestown, Va. Wow! That place is awesome, really giving you a look at life at the beginning of our country: the film, the gallery, the Native American village, the boats, and the actual Jamestown settlement. Incredibly interesting. Walt joined the guys for golf, and Sharon came and joined us at the Williamsburg Pottery. On our last night, our 38th anniversary, we ALL went out to dinner at Uno Chicago Grill. Lovely night out.
Williamsburg got taken over by the British while we were there; it was fun to boo and yell at them as they went by on horseback.
So, we did lots of shopping, lots of sightseeing, and had some fun. Oh, we went through the Yorktown battlefields TWICE; we visited the Williamsburg Vineyard and had a very Euro style lunch. Delicious. I will put pictures later.
