vacay in georgetown on may the fourth and cinco de mayo

I usually have a few folks that remind me of the day for lisping Jedi knights, but not this year.
Only my ex texted me for the occasion.
Thanks, Jeff, for starting my day with dancing Darth Vader!!!
I was only too glad to pass him along to brighten the lives of others! 
(smile!
I finished the rest of the Italian salad that Dawn had left in the fridge.
Salami! Pepperoncini!! Ham! Tomatoes!
I've really enjoyed that for the last three days.
The party on the patio was spent sans birds of any kind.
Susan, Terry, and I talked of food mostly, with them asking about meatballs in the freezer.
Sorry, Charlie, none of those!
Today's vacation film festival consisted of "Wreck It Ralph" and "Ralph Breaks The Internet", shown back to back on Freeform.
So good to hear my favorite Disney Princess song again!
(smile!
My Tina Tuesday just happened to coincide with several other events!
First off, this was the 25th anniversary for Smitty and Mary - woohoo, y'all!
Plus, this Cinco de Mayo was also a Taco Tuesday - that meant I needed to go to the store for Mexican food for dinner.
First, though, had an appointment with Dr. Diaz.
He's my neurologist at the Savannah VA Center and today was the discussion about the MRI results.
What a gorgeous day to be told that all was well with my brain!
He said there was some shrinkage, but totally normal for my age.
Woohoo!
Off to celebrate I went, with some other older folks at the AMC, there to see "The Devil Wears Prada 2", twenty years after the first one.
Those fresh faces of Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt have become the same as that of my 43-year-old first niece!
I had not realized they all shared her age.
As for Stanley Tucci, he's 65, like my brother Smitty.
And Meryl Streep is 76... just a couple of years behind my friend, Carolyn.  
Good movie, too!
Then, at last, to Publix for the makings of my south-of-the-border dinner!
I also picked up a few other items, like milk, and still saved $21.22 on my trip.
That's 30% off on groceries!
Plus, I took care of my appointment and movie and still returned in plenty of time for the party on the patio!
That made Stella happy.
She was on the back porch, waiting to rendezvous with Coco and her owners, for almost thirty minutes.
I sat out there with her, enjoying a glass of milk and the afternoon warmth.
Tonight, after dinner, I'll have a series of "How I Met Your Mother" to enjoy. 
Yes, life is good on vacation!
(smile!)

Tuesday topics on the patio: Asbury Memorial. I mentioned that one of my friends lives around the corner from Dawn, on Morningstar. Susan asked what denomination and I told her none at present, much like Unitarian Universalist. Said that was ever since we broke from the UMC mother ship, after their decision to not allow marriages of LGBT. Terry asked why any would ever want to be part of a world church, like UMC. I explained about minister retirement money, VBS materials, financial help for struggling smaller churches. Note: they are Catholic and Jewish, so "world church" should not be a new concept, as their mother ships are the Vatican and Israel.

Wednesday topic on the patio: hog hunting by Terry, Ken, and Chris! Apparently, wild hogs had been tearing up the yards, ruining gardens, etc., a few years ago. There were packs of 10 or more, dog-sized hogs, all with razor-sharp, long, tusks. Susan, like me, doesn't like guns, so that was a scary time.
