In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Father Daughter Evening Out

Last Thursday, my sister, Dad and I went to a concert in Indianapolis. It was an appetizer and concert package deal and only $20.00. Before the concert you have an hour to visit different tables set up in the lobby to try their food and drinks. It was at the Hubert Circle Theatre, which is a very cool, old building with lots of architectural details.


We all enjoyed a glass of wine before the concert.


The band was Time for Three and they are a string band. Fiddle, violin, and big bass guitar thingy, and the entire Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra was behind them.



After the concert we decided to go to Nicky Blaines. On the way there as we are crossing the street, my Sister laughs because she thought I had lipstick on the sleeve of my sweater. So I try to rub it out and it's not lipstick, it's blood. ewww. Dad cut his elbow...who knows how...and he touched my arm. Not funny.


As we are walking along the sidewalk and get to Nicky Blaines, I said, "ooh, it's closed." My sister said, "how do you know?" uuhhhh...no lights...Well, she opens the door and it leads to nothing but stairs! This place is in the basement, it's dark inside, and there are black leather couches and chairs all around the place. It was like some speak easy in some mobster movie. Very cool place really. But I had to go tend to my sweater dammit!


No one could decide what to drink so I ordered three french martinis. Do we want a cigar? Appetizer? No thanks. Don't smoke and my stomach was still full from that white castle cheeseburger we had before the concert (blech)


mmmm yum. I think I'll have another!

We had a nice evening with lots of laughing.


On the way home Dad said, "I'll be home by 10:00 so I'll get to see the end of The Mentalist." Uhhh Dad it's already 10:30 and we have half an hour to drive yet!

I can't post comments

I can't leave comments on blogs right now. When I go to leave a comment, it asks me to sign in. I sign in, then I go back to the comment. I push "publish comment" and it goes back to the sign in screen.....and it just keeps doing this...back and forth...in a viscious circle. Any ideas?

Remember this? If not, go here to read about it.


Last Wednesday at Granny Bee's I learned how to do the feather stitch. Not bad, huh?


and french knots


and I dug this button out of a box of buttons that was given to me. I think it's perfect for the center of a weed. Yes folks, this is a weed, not a flower. That's what our teach made perfectly clear when we started the class. And I really enjoyed doing this applique' project!



It's a notebook cover.
