Back to the Future - 1980's

The dog had a vet appointment at 10:30am. So my husband took her, for just a nail trimming and ear cleaning visit. Seems she has a bump on her upper arm that has to come off. I think I'll make the appointment for 2 weeks. Later that afternoon, my husband informed me that he will be writing a letter to the Radisson Hotel in Tampa, letting them know he will soon be interested in working there. He'd like to work in the maintance dept., he can run the whole hotel (he informed me) with his knowledge of H.V.A.C. and welding, air conditioning background - what ever needs to be done. A superivor positon would be great. They would have to let him know when this position opens and if he is ready, he will let them know.

I am looking at him trying not to show expression on my face. It's going to be a long afternoon.


We had a 80"s theme birthday party to go to that night at 7 pm. So i thought it would be a good idea to take a nap and I did. I already went to the supermarket and hung out a wash - so I took 45 minutes to lay down. I convinvced my huband to do the same. He asked me to wake him when I got up because he wanted to leave at 5:30pm for the party - Sure - I woke him up at 6pm. We got to the party at 7:15. We had a wonderful time, everyone did a great job dressing up. Lots of tunics and leggings - that's what i wore,(remember the 80's?)

There were Madonnas, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Idol, Rainbox Bright, Ghost Busters, Scarface, Crocker from Miami Vice (my husband), Tom Cruise in underwear, Flash Dance, Daisy Duke, Jason, and Pee Wee Herman. Lots of fun! Around 11:00 pm we started playing Beatles songs - we (the women) all got up and started singing and dancing along. The Beatles are such a comfort, such joy, each song has it's own memory locked in time -Most of us picked a Beatle song for our wedding theme. The Beatles connect us all forever - I've been blest with a wonderful family and darling friends. It was a good Saturday night. Thank you Lord.
