So Today, March 10th, Daylight Savings Time begins! Time to spring ahead.... and we all get to lose an hour of time today.
I know that most people look forward to this time of year, when the sun shines a little longer. But I am one of the minority who wish they would just leave the time alone..... and stay on plain old Eastern Standard Time!
But like yesterday - it is a beautiful day outside, perfect for opening doors and windows, being serenaded by the sound of the Whistling Ducks in the back yard and working in the kitchen! Today it is oatmeal chocolate chip cookies........and the chuck roast of beef in the crock pot! A little later we'll make the gravy and mashed potatoes, and I'm doing sauteed green beans w/bacon, minced onion, minced garlic and chicken broth!
Last week it was back to the doctor for me. If you remember, I've had the irregular EKG, and the irregular stress test - but after the CT Angiogram/Coronary.... I was told my heart was very healthy - and no blockage, but no explanation as to WHY I experienced a heart attack!! Well twice now I have experienced rapid heart rate (129+bpm) and a few other times with just heavy heart beats (pounding and I could hear). I went to see my primary doctor - who agreed with me that I should see a different cardiologist - as she felt I should have had some different test done.... So now I am scheduled to see Dr. Vandenberg on the 18th to set up a cardiac-catheterization and angiography. 💓
On a brighter note...............Friday evening we went to see the band California Toe Jam at the Genesis Center here in town. It was a benefit for the Toby the Clown Museum........and so the clowns did about a 1/2 hour skit before the show, and entertained with the band... Great Night!
First time at the Genesis Center...... welcomed by the clowns.... and the cutest little clown at the door. We got our Red Noses..... and all of the clowns marched in and on to the stage!
What was so nice.....was that our friends Bob and Lavern were part of the entertainment! (aka Silly Willy and Fluffy - the two pictures in the center in the photo below)
The band was absolutely EXCELLENT...and the audience had a great time, singing along, clapping or dancing in the isles! The guy in the picture on the bottom left - was a friend of the band, sitting in the audience who came up to sine. (Very Good).... and who also has a home in Watkins Glen, NY - next town over from where we lived!) The regular drummer was excellent , but one of the clowns took his place for one or two songs ( lower right)
It was a great evening of fun, laughter, and great music..... that kept you clapping or singing all night. This group has been together for about 35 years......and this was one of their last performances on their "Sunset" Tour. This last picture is of Toby the Clown. The founder of the Clown School and Museum.
