And the Fun Goes On

I went to a local dinner theater thanks to the invitation of good friend, Barbara, and saw GUYS & DOLLS. I enjoyed the time with friends, the meal and the musical. It was wonderful to be able to laugh and trade stories on our ride to the theater and back. There's always something really great about girls night out.

That night Dennis arrived from Minneapolis at 11 p.m.and Don was able to pick him up in his new toy, a 2005 Mercedes 2 seat convertible hard top. Needless to say he loves his car. Having 4 vehicles in a 2 car garage is a nightmare though. There's my big Saturn Outlook, Don's Mercedes, our golf cart and his Piaggi Scooter. I should include the three bikes too, but they don't have motors so they don't count. We'll have to work out a better system because at this writing every time I need my car, Don has to back it out of the garage for me. I think he may get tired of that but I know he would prefer backing my car out to having one or more of the vehicles dented.

Dennis is a gym rat like me so he went to Pilates/Yoga with me. It was the first time he had attended that class and I think he liked it. We all played golf that day and none of us had anything to brag about. Friday morning Dennis and I went to a killer class and loved it.

That evening I left the guys to a night out while I went to dinner at Mary's house. Mary is an excellent cook and the Fitness Buddies were there too. The menu was great as always and she made a special dessert that was to die for. It's very difficult losing weight when there are so many great cooks in Corte Bella.

After a windy round of golf on Saturday we three picked up Charlie at the airport whose arrival was an hour late. We had lunch at Oregano's, one of the few restaurants that uses Wisconsin cheese and had a delicious pizza and Charlie had a huge meatball sandwich half. Wisconsin cheese is the best especially for cooking. We dropped Charlie off at Beau's house and went to Gary & Diane's house for a cookout. Sophie and Ben were thrilled to see Dennis and had so much fun with him. Leaving was tearful because they wanted him to stay.

Dennis left early Sunday morning and a couple hours later we had Gary and his family and Charlie and Beau over for Charlie's birthday brunch. Beau and Charlie played with Sophie and Ben and again it was a tearful goodbye. Charlie will be staying with Beau till Wednesday when he has an early flight back to Maryland.

My PET Scan appointment has been made for May 6th which works out perfect because I'll see the Oncologist the following week to get the results. I'm always hoping for the best results.

I'm on my way to Pilates/Yoga this morning and at noon will take another Yoga class. I normally would do a Kickboxing class after the Pi/Yo class, but I need to shake up my workout schedule a little so I'm trying less cardio and more Yoga. On those days that I don't have a morning class I'll either ride my bike for 7 to 10 miles or use the elliptical if the air quality outside is poor.

Thanks again for reading my blog. It may be boring at times but at least you never have to wonder what I'm doing.
