In the Hands of Madam Gin

FRIDAY  April 15

RV Dreams Rally

Sevierville, Tennessee

Today was a FREE DAY

designed no doubt to give my over stressed brain a break

My brain thanks you Howard and Linda.

So since we’ve already done our taxes J

and will be leaving here to go spend some time

in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park,

we decided to take it easy.

Sevierville City Park is just across the river from the campground

but “no way to get there from here”

other than to drive around. 

Which we did in order to run 5 miles on their
Green Way.

Of course I  have no pictures since I can’t run with a camera. 

It’s a lovely city park with softball fields

and a nice blacktopped trail for running or walking. 

They have labeled the trees and flowers along it. 

I suspect a local garden club is responsible for that. 

It was a much nicer run than around and around in the RV park.

Came back showered  and then………………………..

(sing along now…to the tune of ‘Love Potion #9)

I took my flowbee down to Madam Gin’s

She lives with Syl and they are my great friends.

She took one look at my locks and said OH MY

and then she cut em ooooff, it was eeeeeasy as pie.

Before

 

Love that flowbee. 

I’ve done enough cuts to have paid for it

so every one is free at this point. 

We did a “demonstration” so others could see just how easy it is. 

I can do it myself

but it was more fun having a professionally trained stylist

of such repute put me in her chair!

Not so pleasantly, I had to make the 6^th phone call in 2 months

to Citibank about their inability to send

the new card to us early.

Our cards expire on 5/31/11.

We won’t be at that address on 5/31/11.

We won’t be at any address to which you can

deliver to us in person and we can sign.

SO why can't they send it in early April, not early May.

What a nightmare. 

It’s almost funny what bumpkins their “no service” department is. 

I won’t bore you with the details but will summarize

to say they sent the card 3X

including once after we’d already gotten

and activated one of them. 

When we went to use the card today at the post office,

it bounced. 

Now I’ve never had ANYTHING bounce in my life

so I was an unhappy camper

and my phone call to them was none too sweet.  

More promises to “take care of the problem”…………we’ll see.

I could cancel it and get another more easily than this

is what I told them.

On a happier note,

Linda was able to get those who wanted them 

special discount tickets to see an Oldies song and dance show

which was in a little theater behind a shopping center.  

Hmmmmm -  we all wondered.  

Turned out to be fabulous singing and dancing

of hits from the 50’s through the 80’s. 

With most of this crowd, the familiarity with the songs decreased

as they got to the 80’s J  

One gal had just an amazing voice.  

She did a hair raising gospel version of

Lean on Me that brought down the house.

Home to bed late and back up extra early since Saturday’s seminars start at
EIGHT not 9:00.
