So this weekend passed in a bit of a blur. I worked both of my jobs Friday, with my annual "lady" checkup in between. Nice to squeeze that in (that will be much pun-nier when I have to have mammograms). Saturday was a work day, at least at the bank, followed by situation my new living room furniture and playing with my kitty, Pudder.
Sunday was a really odd day. First, I visited the Courage Center, a rehab facility, where a former student of mine is currently living. More on that later...I'm still really tense and prickly and near-crying when I think about Donae. Another post.
After that, had lunch at Manning's with Heather & Cat, and then was off to Forest Lake to meet up with Joan, Charlie, and Heather. Why? We were going to Hinckley to see The Lettermen. Our friend Paul has an "in" at the ticket venue, so we got some free seats to the show.
As most of my blogging audience isn't 60 or over, let me explain. The Lettermen had big hits mostly in the 60's, and they were a trio of awesome soloists who could also harmonize really closely to one another. They had amazing hits that you all sing along to...such as: Put Your Head on My Shoulder, I Only Have Eyes for You, When I Fall in Love, and The Way You Look Tonight.
The show was highly entertaining, but Heather & I were seriously the youngest people there. It was so funny, because these singers would come out in the audience during numbers and meet and shake hands with the people. This happened twice to us - 2 out of 3 (not bad, Di) came to our section. The second guy to come by us did a total double take, like, "Whaaaat? No wrinkles? No cane? No Ben-Gay smell?" It was hilarious.
Plus, the Americana Grille there in Grand Casino made a mean bloody Mary, plus I got to watch the Vikes kick some Bears butt! (Sorry, Dean-o...still love me, ok?)
All in all, a great weekend. Am looking forward to less work, more nesting this upcoming weekend.
Until the next post, dear readers, I bid you adieu.

Deano took the loss pretty well. We were going to go to the local sports bar to watch the game, but since neither team is doing exceptionally well we thought we'd save our time and money and watch the Bucs while puttering around the house. Too bad we did, it sounded like a fun game. BTW- Did you hear the Bucs picked up Michael Bennett? I still fantasize about that night at the Hilton...
Dude, no way! He is yum-my! And I recall with some clarity (despite beverage consumption) that evening at the hotel. Was that just dumb luck or what? We were positively GIDDY that night - hilarious!
I wouldn't kick him outta bed for eating crackers, that's for damn sure!
