Up around 7 a.m., but skipped my exercises to do some things before lunch, including making a recipe of marinade for the country ribs. Once I had those in the fridge, I programmed the DVR for the week's movies and shows, read the Sunday newspaper, etc., until time to heat the leftover potato soup, bran muffins, and pear cobbler for an early lunch.
After lunch, we headed to another town to see a performance of "Guys and Dolls." We arrived twenty minutes earlier than when the door opened at 1:30. We wanted to be there in time to get both a parking space close to the theater, and our choice of theater seats. We managed both. Our parking space was only steps away from the storefront theater door, and we grabbed seats on an elevated level, which overlooked the seating at floor level, so that our view of the stage was unobstructed. Perfect seating for Mother.
I expected to have to pay an extra fifteen dollars for Mother's ticket, but the person accepting our ticket for two admitted all three of us on it, because it was supposed to include two dinners. Since this was an extra show, held over because the weekend dinner shows had sold out, the ticket taker was trying to make good on the stated voucher price. This satisfied us entirely, since the voucher was worth $54, and I paid only $20 for it at a silent auction.
The show was wonderful...very professionally done...and we all enjoyed it. The only downside was that there must have been a problem with the air conditioner, because it got very warm in the theater. Most of us ladies were fanning like crazy with our programs. Pitchers of ice water were available, and at intermission, I rushed to get styrofoam cups of it for us.
The performance ended at 4:30 p.m., after which we went to our favorite restaurant for supper. The last time we were at the restaurant, we were charged for glasses of water. Not so today, but the glasses provided were very small. Also, in the past, free coffee was offered with dessert, but that has changed, too. Now if a diner wants coffee, he/she has to ask for it, and a waitress will collect the price of it before serving. We like coffee with our dessert, and I particularly like the coffee at this restaurant, but today we passed on it.
We were back home around 6:30. The animals were none the worse for our absence, though they were all ready to be fed.
Spent the rest of the evening watching TV....or rather, I watched it while playing on my laptop, while Hubbie napped in his recliner.
