My cup runneth over . . .

Poor proof that our bluebirds really do exist!

Busy week. Good week. Had to see the dentist Monday. That was okay. Stopped in to see younger brother and took a tour of all the beautiful flowers. That was wonderful. I ate lunch at DQ:  Reese's Peanut Buttercup Blizzard, chocolate ice cream and an extra scoop of Peanut Butter Cup. Magnifico! Went to stay with Kiddo Tuesday late afternoon to early evening. That was superior. We went out riding bikes for a while before his friends came over and I was no longer needed! He came in doors when called to get his homework done and go over his lines for the school play. We're doing fine! Wednesday I left a little earlier than usual and younger sister and I found our way to Simsbury for her doctor's appointment which went well. Then we decided that we should begin lunch with ice cream at the farm in Granville, MA. Had their sundae special of the day, coffee ice cream, caramel, hot fudge, crumbled up brittle, whipped cream and the ubiquitous cherry on top. Fantastico lunch, for sure. And then we went food shopping before we headed back to her place for pizza, chit chat and charging her new Nook. She'll have it all working and registered this week end when she gets connected to the WiFi at her daughter's home. The grand kids will have a blast showing R. what to do. Then to top off the fine, cloudy, day I went to see Good News at Goodspeed Opera House with Oneco friends. The play was excellent. We had great seats; could see every smile, snicker, frown, grin, eyelash on each performer. And there was tap dancing! Yes! Who could ask for anything more? Takes place at Tait College, Connecticut 1927 and I knew some of the songs:  The Best Things In Life Are Free, You're The Cream In My Coffee, Keep Your Sunny Side Up, Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries. As Kiddo would say, " Good times, good times!"

It was so bleak outside today that we went to see Iron Man 3.  I really liked Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes and he is a great Iron Man. Fun movie as long as you don't mind explosions and maiming all over the place! Had lunch at The Roadside Diner, Macaroni & Cheese and Tiramisu for desert. Getting spoiled.  Even Grampa had a fresh Lemon Square after his Tuna Club. Decadent! He's off to the Yankee Flyers' Meeting at the field and I'll probably play the Yamaha.  Haven't tickled the ivories in quite a while.
