A small step

I got the kids out the door and on the bus this morning, then set out on an estate sale-ing adventure that, unfortunately, turned out to be a total bust. Oh well, at least I was in the area I needed to be in. Jen told me earlier this week that our mutual acquaintance Marilyn Wood was on the entertainment roster for her grandmother's altheimers care facility. Marilyn is a lady that plays piano amazingly well and for the past two festivals she's been at Californo's the night we had our after party there and we've had a blast singing with her. The care facility is also right by my school, so we both went and sang along with Marilyn and even, when called upon, danced with hats and feather boas on. It was a blast and the residents seemed to enjoy us a lot. (The picture is from the lobby of the facility. How cool is that?) After class I came home and when Jason got off work we went out to dinner with Tom, who went to the airport today to check out the planes and whatnot with Jason. Every boy's dream, right? We went to Famous Dave's. It's been a long time since we've been there and it really hit the spot. After dinner Jason pulled out the laptop to do some diagnostic stuff on Tom's car while I put the girls to bed, then we all played Guitar Hero. Wicked. It's a lot of fun to play when you have two guitars and a microphone. We seriously need to get the drum set now, we'd be unstoppable!
