Party Night

The sun is shining as usual, and the morning is cool, so the Christian Science reading room has moved to the pool area. Have to get moving, meeting Karen for lunch at 11:30am.
We are out the door in plenty of time. We arrive at Nubian Queen Lola's Cajun Barbeque Cafe 15 minutes early. The place is small and the air is thick with cajun scents, and smoke.
We choose our meals and wait patiently for our food. We had pork chops, etouffe, po' boys, catfish, and a BLT. Not outstanding food, though the atmosphere with hanging beads and Obama bilia was fascinating, not to mention lots ' Jesus. It was an adventure to say the least.

Tom, Lucy and Nancy head off to Michaels, for come crafty things, while Jennie, Carol and Susie try to figure out how Carol broke the TV.
Tom and Nancy return to find smiling TV faces, and spend the afternoon crafting, while the others nap, or swim. Excellent day. Tom was making a bird house for Karen and Jennie and Nancy was doing 3-D framing for a card that K&J had bought in Florence. It turned out great.

Party that night as friends who had all met Austinas Locas at one time or the other were invited over. Guest list - Charlie Hill, Frank Benge, Renee Brown, Joni McClain, Leanne Pounds and her mother, Donna (who came in for a family party of their own), Vicki.

Vicki and Nancy hit it off as they exchanged arts and craft talk and looked at various websites. We see an exchange of talents in the future. As usual, everyone ended up in the gasebo. Show tunes were playing and Susie and Karen decided it was time to sing show tunes from the pool. They started something because within 15 minutes everyone was in the pool! It was Rodgers and Hammerstein nite and everyone voiced an opinion on the Broadway Mary Martin version of Sound of Music versus Julie Andrews and the movie.

Drink of the day - Free for all
