Time to sing!

Lots of opportunities for singing in the next few days. I'll be at Taste of Wine Friday, April 15, at the West Carrollton VFW Saturday and at the Middletown Senior Center Tuesday evening. Would love to see you! Let those tax blues fade away.

NOLA

Just returned from a wonderful trip to N'Awlins with Brenda and our boys. Walked for hours every day, had great food, did some shopping, went to Mardi Gras World and also to the Katrina exhibit. Love that city!

Toss me some beads, Mister!

A big thanks to everyone who came to sing last night at the VFW. It was a great night. Plan to join me there again on April 29.

Have a great week! Cary

Do A Little Jig, Sing A Little Tune

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Get decked out in green, drink a green beer or drink a green wine! Yes, there really is a natural green wine being served at the Taste of Wine tomorrow (or so we are told!).
The world looks better when it is green. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you. May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.


Upcoming events this weekend: I'll be at the Taste of Wine Friday night for the usual 3rd Friday of the month gig. It is always a great time, and standing room only. Arrive early!

Saturday night, I am hosting Karaoke at the VFW in West Carrollton from 8 - midnight. Brenda is making her famous cheeseburger soup, so come early for dinner.

May the luck of the Irish be with you!

Four Letter Words!

Brenda here! Four letter words in our household are "snow", "rain" and now "pull". It sounds like we will be experiencing all of that this weekend. Cary just had two teeth pulled yesterday and is still loopy. The tooth fairy will be bringing him a bottle of wine so that should assist in his recovery. It's been raining since yesterday and the temps are dropping, so snow is probably developing soon. However, the "Noble Household" is fine. Hope you are all having a good weekend. Brenda

101 Ways To Live To Be 101

Grandpa is 101 days away from turning 101! The countdown is on! So, Brenda and I sent him a huge box of gifts....101 to open. The theme is "101 ways to live to be 101". Each gift is wrapped and contains a card with the message. These include "Always Count Your Blessings" with a giant calculator, "Greet Each Day With A Smile", with a huge smiley face, "Strive For Financial Security" with candy money, "Never Pass Up An Opportunity To Go Fishing" with gummy worms ...and 96 more!! The newspaper is planning to do a feature on it. Grandpa is amazing! He is sharp as a tack and has been in great health. He lives in an assisted living facility but strives to be as independent as possible. He keeps current on events and fills us in on these during our Sunday calls. If we can all be so lucky!

Here's to living a good, long, healthy and happy life!

Different Music!

We just returned from Vegas and a great visit with our Awesome A's....Awesome Autumn, Awesome Austin and Awesome Alexis. Autumn is 12 and just had her first violin recital while we were there. Check out this AWESOME girl with the AWESOME pink violin!

Our Awesome A's.......

We also went to see "The Rat Pack Is Back". We crooned along with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra to a 12 piece orchestra. The setting was "Old Las Vegas" and it was easy to imagine that we were transported back in time. I wasn't lucky enough (or old enough - Ha!) to be chosen for the lap dance with Marilyn Monroe who stopped by for a visit. But, it was a great evening nonetheless! We ended up with front row seats and could literally touch the stage!

Hope your week is going well! Put next week on your calendar and join me at the Taste of Wine Friday night and the West Carrollton VFW Saturday night. Brenda will be cooking for the casserole dinner at the VFW.

Almost February!

Well, February is almost here! Usually, February is our month with the most snow and cold, gray days. But it seems like we have had a lot of that in January this year! We are leaving town next weekend to go to Vegas to see our nieces and nephew. We just finished packaging up our Valentines gifts for them.

Some of you know our friend, Skip Hoyt. Skip performed at our wedding reception and has also performed around town, and joined us on a few karaoke nights. Skip is in Atlanta this weekend performing for America's Got Talent. Way to go Skip!!!!! You can hear Skip perform most weekends at the Dock.

Stay warm and listen to some good tunes.
