bday67 luncheon! bday67 with brothers! bday67 pinter play!

Thank you, Yvonne!!!

When I texted her last night to say, "Lunch maybe? Tomorrow or Mon? Houlihans? Kayak? Both?", she'd responded, "Tomorrow? Toni? Houlihan's? Time?" - hooray!

"Yes! High noon!"

After all, that's our time for luncheons.

(smile!)

Did I get a photo of the three of us?

Surprisingly, no.

We were there nearly three hours, but somehow not one photo did I take manage to take.

I guess we were too busy talking and having a good time!

So, all I have to commemorate this bday67 event is this email flyer from the restaurant, granting me a free lunch - up to $15 - if someone else also dined.

Thanks, Yvonne, for "buying" my lunch!!!

And thanks, Toni, for buying dessert for all three of us!

I still cannot believe the waitress thought we'd be able to eat three of those Salted Caramel Ooey Gooey Cakes - hahahaha!!!

We barely finished the one serving of all that sweetness!

(smile!)

 

Two hours later, Smitty sent me a text.

"Hey, we are going to Castaway today."

What, not to Jalapenos?

No, Laura wanted to check out this place.

Yes, the time was still 5PM.

Cool beans, I was up for a change of venue!

Not that it mattered, as I was still too full to eat.

I just wanted to spend time with both of my brothers tonight!

And that's exactly what I did, too!

Mary and Laura were there, too, of course, and I sat across from Mary and chatted quite a bit!

Then most of the Kameron contingent arrived: Betsy, Jimmy, Addison, Becca!

Mark never did make it, having been hung up on a job in Beaufort.

Oh, well!

I started out beside Smitty, then Tony made him switch seats when Jimmy arrived, so the Dood could chat me up - lol!

They all kept trying to get me to order, but I abstained.

Too full, too full... but how wonderful to see them all again!

(smile!) 

I left shortly after their food arrived, but not before taking a group photo of them!

Maybe I can get that posted here one day... but not today!

My phone is still not able to send photos to my email.

However, the printer scans programs just fine!!!

Here's the one that I found out about on Wednesday.

Yes, like just two days ago!

Savannah Country Day School had posted on fb about a "Senior Project" and asking folks to "please come to it on Friday".

Well, alrighty then!

So much for the Cinema Savannah screening of "Malena" -

so much for the "Sea Of Ink" night at the Ships of the Sea Museum" -

so much for "Drowsy Chaperone" - this time by SCAD - at the Lucas Theatre -

my plans changed justthatfast!

I'm so glad they did!

SCDS not only had the play by Harold Pinter for free, but so were all the snacks and drinks.

They were clearing it all out, as Jenkins Auditorium would be dark until the fall.

Happy birthday to me!

Plus, Henry Dickerson came and hugged me before the play began!

I had not realized he's a senior and this was his farewell gig, serving as Artistic Director for "Betrayal" - wow!

Such an adult-themed play for all these young people to perform!

See, "Betrayal" is the 1978 play built on Pinter's own affair with a married woman, and this one centers on the cuckold husband, the wife that he is cheating on, and the one screwing her, who is the husband's best friend.

I told Henry before the play that I hoped none of these young actors had ever had those experiences.

He gave me an odd smile, that let me know that he was surprised I knew so much about this bit of drama.

Hey, I did my homework on this time-jumping piece, right?

Glad I did!

Glad I was there!

I know I'll never get a chance to see this again -

that makes it a perfect birthday gift -

something completely different from what the other troupes offer.

(smile!)
