This morning I received a very nice offer...


From our Charlotte County Chorale director, my Facebook friend, who offered Hubby and I comp tickets for their concert this coming weekend and this is the second time I said yes, one offer I did refuse. It was very nice of him to offer after the last refusal, since on occasion I foolishly have this problem with looking a gift horse in the mouth and saying, no thank you…The first time when I accepted was our fortieth anniversary, which is on Valentine’s Day and this was three days before nearly two years ago, that’s why I remember and other than dinner we had no decisive plans, it was a lovely offer and we had a wonderful time. The second time was about a year ago or so, I cannot seem to remember exactly and I thought it was too much to consider to go again and so Hubby and felt that although it was very nice, we declined…Who knows why I said yes this time, but I did and I think it might be a holiday concert, nostalgia for me, since I, for seven years, while a student in chorus appeared in those types of concerts as well as all the caroling with scouts and work that I did do. The gentleman is a loyal reader of my blog, next to Hubby my loyalist and makes me feel that writing it is not that bad an idea, plus he has a journalism background and so that truly is quite something… I better not gush too much, since more than likely he will be reading this, but let me just say this, it is very nice to hear. I know why I accepted really, it’s the holidays and we all need a bit of happy to take our minds off of the not so happy stuff, right? Our Charlotte Performing Arts Center is quite impressive for such a small town/county and not that far from home… just over the bridge and a few blocks inland, in River City AKA Punta Gorda, but not on the water. Below I have given to you the contact information for any or all in the area who may wish to go too: Charlotte Performing Arts Center 701 Carmalita Street Punta Gorda, FL 33950 Contact Information to purchase tickets call: Lee: 941-204-0033 Moving on… Have you ever felt so wicked that you wanted to say something so negative because you lost your cool, but were thankful that you held your tongue after all? Maybe, I better explain… I get jealous with people who are so healthy that all they have left in their repertoire to think about is how they look or stand posture wise or how the best way to get rid of their wrinkles… I feel like shouting that I have scars on my face due to a biopsy and a dog bite, forty-one stitches in total. I can no longer stand, because I am in a wheelchair and as far as wrinkles go I wish that they were my only problem like it appears to be yours! But no, I have not, I’ve been good, that is up until now… SHAME ON ME! I also get more jealous with the doting parents and grandparents with those adorable pictures of those little ones…Our sons are full grown and we haven’t any grand-babies, oh poo, those PICS I do really enjoy, but not so many and I sure wish we had some of those grands! Any-who, I do hope that you all are handling the holidays with more style and grace than me; I know you are, more than likely! Gosh it's times like these that I wish, my parents were here to set me straight…I know that's ridiculous at my age! After all they would both be over one hundred and I should know this stuff by now…maybe someday… On that absurd note of little regard with many up and down notes; do hear the melody? Kidding or not...allow me to be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
