Enjoying retirement again

Just to have this handy: http://www.visitmusiccity.com/cmafest
  It's a listing of the groups at the various venues.

So we got our seats for the 2016 CMA Music Fest already. It was a scary process. We had an assigned time and did the best we could with ticketmaster as a ton of fans tried to access it at the same time.

I am looking forward to this year's event!

Where does the time go?

I actually started writing a post last week, but I guess I got distracted (maybe looking for a photo of Tom's new car?) and it never got up.

So, yes, Tom got a new car....the day before his birthday, April 18, so what a great present, right? :-)

Talking about birthdays, Patrick's was yesterday and Sue hosted a "When I'm 64" Beatles-related party for him. [Just an aside; he is not "old and losing my hair"....] I wish we could have been there, but we'll be seeing them in May at Nathan's graduation (!! Nathan is graduating from High School??!!)

We've been doing a lot of dancing and movie going and other fun things now that tax season is over. Yay!

I was lucky enough to win reserve seat tickets for the XTU show May 30th, so I don't have to do any more tramping around to ticket runs....fun as they may be.....

In the bad news department, the governor is still doing all he can to destroy the teachers pension system as we know it (worst case scenario: end of pension in 2027). This is very scary stuff. I still don't understand why breaking the law is being allowed (and he's the one who made the law!!!)

Today is Emmy's party at Jill's and Sugarfootin' at Prospectors. Monday is the BCEA Legislative Dinner (and missing book club....too bad...I really wanted to talk about how much I enjoyed reading The Orphan Train).
