Lyford Surprise

Russ and I flew down to the Bahamas for my forth Mah Jongg week at Lyford Cay. At this point it is like coming to visit old friends. Everyone here could not be nicer to us.

Ruth E. Picked us up at the airport as she always does and gave us our social calendar. I am here to teach Mah Jongg. I am always surprised that it grows bigger and bigger. There will be new faces, but I really love getting to see the familiar.

We were barley here a minute and we had to change to go to a cocktail party. On the way there we learned that James Taylor was here to sing at a birthday party. The birthday of a famous person has been going on for days. Tonight the party was at the club and so it was decided we could also go listen to JT.

From the cocktail party Russ, Ruth E. and her sister-in-law Claire and I went to dinner. It was a nice change to get to sit outside and have dinner after having been stuck inside at home with snow this week.

From dinner we had been invited to another party, but the whole party moved to the pool terrace where we sat in the dark awaiting the James Taylor’s concert we were going to enjoy as non-guests of the birthday party in the tent 15 feet away.

We waited and waited and after and hour and fifteen minutes in the dark the Music started. James Taylor is the sound track of our lives and once he played Going to Carolina I was happy and left for bed.

I am not sure I can keep up three parties a night and still be able to teach Six hours of Mah Jongg a day. Somehow I will endure. As wonderful as Lyford is James Taylor makes it just that much better.
