So Many Fun People

I started the day delightfully with my friend Jane Brothers. We had tea and yak’d away. She told me she was a Colonial Dame, and I surprised her with the fact that my cousin Mary was the “president” (don’t know if that is what she is called. I call her the Dame of Dames) of Colonial Dames. Jane was very excited to tell me all the people I have taught Mah Jongg to who are Dames. I guess I am just the teacher of Dames.

As we were shooting the s%#$ I got a text that my car was ready. So I had to hurry to get ready to go. I jumped in the borrowed black land cruiser they had lent me which was parked right next to my original black Land Cruiser which the Brother’s now own.

I pulled in and my car was just coming out of the car wash. They had changed the oil. Rotated the tires, fixed my tailgate and it was all free. They unloaded my stuff from the Land Cruiser and put it in my car and I was off to Rocky Mount. THE BEST SERVICE!

Had lunch at Benvenue with Catherine Combs who brought me to Rocky Mount the first time years ago. Then we had new card class. Such nice people. I was sorry I had to leave quickly but I had to get home.

Carter and Claire flew in this morning for the long Easter weekend. Russ took my mother with him to pick the girls up at the airport so they could have a little visit.

It was so great to have C & C in the house. Russ picked up dinner from Thai Cafe which was nice so I didn’t have to do anything. Carter and Claire challenged me to stay up with them. We snuggled on the big sofa and had the best time talking. I started the day yaking and ended it the same way.

It’s been a Big talking week. Hell, it’s been a big talking month. I pray I can get some sleep. So many fun people tends to keep me awake. Not like Russ. He passed out long ago. So many fun people.
