06-24-23 Encore and Poker
I guess getting so much Fest business done yesterday really took a load off my mind as I slept right through the night and woke up naturally at 7:30 ready to face the day. At first I was not impressed as I had been looking forward to sleeping in but what I really needed was one good uninterrupted night. I got up and had my coffee and read my book for a couple hours and then got out and cleared up all the blown down branches before mowing my lawn. After a quick shower, I headed over to Encore as it was their official grand opening today. Bill, Deanne, Ashlée and three of the grandsons were there and we had a good visit. The arcade games were free so there was a lot of skeeball and basket ball before my friend James showed up and he and Ash and I bowled for an hour. He is really good compared to us but it was fun. I came home and then took my car to get gas as it was nearly out and I had been driving the jeep today. back home to relax outside with a martini before heading to Tim and Shawna’s for a friendly poker game. It was supposed to be the finals of the league but thankfully Shawna messaged me that it was postponed. I guess I had gotten an email but hadn’t checked as I was out. There were 7 of us and it was quite enjoyable. I played for 3.5 hours on my original 20 bucks and loved all the conversations about music, concerts and life experiences we’ve all had. Was nice to have more social time with them. When I left Greg and Galen were going head to head. It had rained a bit out there on the outskirts of town but not at my place. I was happy to find Missy in a cuddly purring mood as she had been quite off today and I was worried about her. She needs to be all better before I head off next weekend camping. Ash agreed to come feed her as Tracey will be away. Thankfully Tracey will feed and visit her while I am at MusicFest. She’s a great neighbour and friend. I promised to bring her a t-shirt again as she loves last year’s.
