Double Date. Sylvia and I had our male friends over for dinner today. It is interesting that both share the same birthdate, August 27. We had a great time. Both gentlemen are fun to be with. I think I have mentioned Sylvias been going out with Chuck for awhile. They met at the blind center as he is totally blind. He also sings with the Senior Center choir and dances like a pro so they go to the Saturday night dances. Jokes about sore feel when he gets home because Syl is always stepping on them. He plays the spoons fantastically. I haven't heard that in years.

As for my new gent, his name is Jim. Currently manages a 7-11 store. We seem to click because, best of all, his favorite thing to do is "get lost." Has a great sense of humor, tons of travels to tell me about, and is really fun to be with. He loves the out of doors and has always been an avid camper. I get jealous listening to him tell me about the deer and elk and eagles and fishing (no tall tales yet).
Between Chuck and Jim competing to tell the best jokes it was a fun evening. We're planning on doing it again.

Did my 1st MNF last week and was really touched when one of the regulars brought a dozen roses and a note to memorialize Shirley. She had done MNF for years and had been well loved. MNF is co sponsored by 97.1 and I got tickets to the NASCAR truck race next Saturday. Plan on using them too. Only problem is that I have to train a new hire at GG on Sunday morning at 6:30. I told Sharon I may have to pull an all nighter! Took it upon myself to get new stamps for guest entry. The ones we had were tacky (according to me) so I got Boulder MNF with a football on them. Sharon insists on repaying me. Told her it wasn't necessary but she insists policy says she has to.

Thats it for now. Miss you all. Keep blogging - I love reading and seeing your sights.

Go MOM! I would recommend Zion...It was a gorgeous view.

Spoons, That might beat out my accordion.

Are you going to make a dive for pit road like last time? All I remember was looking through the camera and seeing you walk by.

Miss you too!

Don't know if I can get access to the pits this time. The tickets I got are just general admission but I sure will try. Jim will love doing something like that.
Yes we are going up to Zion one of these days. He's been everywhere out here and I'm just thrilled to have an expert tour guide.

Miss ya's
