23 Lobsters in One Sitting!
Hello to all out in blogland. It's been a week since my last blog! Time flies when one is busy. I subbed three and a half days last week and I have two and a half this week.
On Saturday I went to the Lobster Fest with friends. It's an all-you-can-eat lobster dinner, a fundraiser for a local theatre group. It's held in the convention centre and about a couple of thousand people go. Everybody gets dressed to the nines at least, if not the tens. They give a rose to each lady there. There is a big silent auction and lots of drinking and dancing. We had to put on big bibs and use nutcrackers to crack the shells. I ate two and a half lobsters. Well, for me, that's a lot! The organizers order in 10 lobsters per person and I have heard of, but never met, one person who ate 23 lobsters! Now that's really being a hog! Of course hogs don't really eat lobsters, although I have heard they will eat almost anything. Now, where was I...oh, yeah, the Lobster Fest. It was fun. I hope to go again next year.
On Sunday I had my usual jazz dance class. As much fun as the first one. It must be early dementia setting in, but I find it hard to remember the steps when I get home, so I can't really practice. But, I am continuing to enjoy it. I was only stiff for a couple of days. AND HIP HOP starts next Tuesday. Woo Hoo! I phoned and found out there are five people registered, so they will go through with it. Zip-a-de-doo-da! I am just dancing my way through the fall.
Gary and Carolyn were planning to be home by yesterday, so I expect a blog posting soon. No one else has blogged, except my sister, Dee. You go, girl.
Gotta go. Tomorrow I have to cut the grass one last time before deep fall sets in and I have to get the Humanist Association of Manitoba newsletter out by the weekend. Peace.
