Jam Session, Woody sang

Cookie is still sick, took her to the vet, she thought Cookie had something lodged in her stomach that is irritating her tummy, they did a couple of X-rays and only saw a couple of small items in her bowl, so hopefully whatever she has eaten will continue to pass. Cookie’s stomach showed some irritation, which has created gastritis. We got some special food and some Mylanta with instructions from vet on use of both. If she is not better by morning, we will take her back, and they will do surgery and keep her overnight, poor little girl, we are praying that she is okay by morning.

We invited our new friends, Nels and Betty to the Jam Session this evening they accepted and met us there, there were also a couple from Germany who are touring the States and stopped for a night to visit a friend in attendance, the MC of the Jam Session talked the lady from Germany into singing a song which was fun for all, she sang “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean” in English we all sang along, what great fun. Later she sang another song and asked Woody to help her sing, he declined, laughing and saying “only if you want everyone to leave quickly”, the group clapped and encouraged him to sing, and as he was trying to decline once again, the MC came over with a mike and handed it to him, so he sang along with the German lady from where he was sitting at the table. The song was a German song that kids learned in grade school, he did a good job, just could not remember all the words but it was a hoot! The Jam Sessions are such fun, one fellow that plays and sings during the session is 88 years old, and I could not believe he was that old, he plays a mean guitar. The owner John is always invited to sing, he has a good voice, is 83-85, not sure but he is a great fellow and fun.

We ended up staying very late watching an old Paul Newman movie, an actor we both like very much, we have not stayed up this late for a very long time but hey, we are retired and part of the fun of being here is doing whatever we choose at the moment, no schedule.
