Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13, was time for my big show.....
after several weeks of waiting and sporadic practice and not really being completely ready....

AUTUMN REFLECTIONS...
A busy, rushed effort to get snacks together, props collected, technical equipment readied, clothing changed, 
Carole came early to help me transport everything to the club house. The concert was a mixture of original 15 serious, reflective pieces and fun songs.
"Man on the O-Hi-O". This was written for a grandson just learning to play guitar. 
A Johnny Cash wannabe song about a mysterious man standing on the bank of the Ohio (river) "on a starless night when the north wind blows" Friend Nancy was able to attend after all. It being her 84th B-day, we sang Happy B-day to her.
20 folks were my audience. I chose hats as "visuals" for some of the pieces.
Sun hat for "San Diego Boogie"
Green elf cap for
"Tricky Leprechaun"...
couldn't find a "real" one
Found a happy monkey to be my buddy for "Monkey Tail Tree".
A friend of mine recently said I need to find out (figure out) who I am.I don't know why he would say that...
Looking good on Jake and Deb
Every good concert deserves flowers.
We all had a good time and I received enough encouragement to try another one in the spring!

On Friday Rosie had an EEG because the Saturday before she had 2 seizures. She looks like she enjoys being wired....
(Today, on Monday, the report came back that they were caused by an antibiotic she was taking.) She is alright!
Saturday, after water aerobics, it was time to get into the Thanksgiving spirit. Wrote out (and got in the mail) 8 cards, I did!
Did a little piano practice to play at the clubhouse late afternoon as folks are waiting for turkey dinner to be served.
I made some good ol' green bean casserole and a pan of boxed au-gratin potatoes as my share of the pot luck.
People were impressed with my festive hat.
