Art Museum/Sheepshead

 Friday, February 11, 2022

The day started with exercise in the fitness room, an assault on my ears.  What a difference from the serene stretching on Wednesday when all we hear is the therapist giving instructions in her soothing voice and our breathing with occasional creaking of joints.  Today was loud mo-town music and a lot of incoherent talking, one above the other.

We met at 12:30 p.m. for a bus ride to the Art Museum for a showing black and white photographs of Vietnamese re-enactment scenes of the war and other native scenes.   Another gallery featured paintings of naval maneuvers.

We wandered through many of the other exhibits as time allowed.

I had to wait for someone to open the doors at St. Florian to play sheepshead from 6:00 - 11:00 p.m. (someone forgot to keep the doors unlocked).  Bob and Terry arrived later with Jan; Barbara didn't come and we were waiting for Mark.  In the meantime, Tom didn't have a group to play with so he joined ours.  When Mark came we had a table of six.  We had some very good games; however whenever I picked, I lost, even with a fairly good hand.  There was tap beer and assorted beverages and bags of popcorn.  Terry brought sausage roll-ups.  A generous meal was served with a large assortment of food: mashed potatoes, beef, pork, chicken, sausage, beans and potato salad, plus cake.  Most people were calling it a night at 10:00 p.m. which was long enough for me.  I must have won about 20 cents.  I don't know if I'd like to do this again.
