Tonight, was jammin’ time 😊
I dolled myself up … and hit
the road 😉
I was about 15 minutes late in
arriving at the session, because I ran into town to grab a flavored coffee. As
soon as I walked through the open door, I could hear Corrina, singing with J – I’d
met Corrina last weekend, and invited her to join us: I sensed she’d
have a great voice … and she does!
I’d left home hoping to see
her with us tonight; I’m really glad she showed. I’d take pictures, but
everyone has not consented to that, so I’m being respectful and keeping
the phone in my purse when there ☹
While I was watching/listening
to the band tease Corrina by playing the old rock and roll ‘Corrine, Corrina’
song, CM came over and joined me on the sidelines. When she heard why I was
late, she offered to gift me with an espresso maker she doesn’t use (she’s
only used it 4 times, so it’s practically new 😉). I am
glad for the gifting.

Then,
a fella showed up that I’d not met yet – I’d heard members of the jam group
talk of him, and he sounded intriguing (don’t get excited folks … Judah
is about 24 years old – and I’m not interested in romantic intrigues: no
matter what age). But it was fun to get to know him. He’s very personable,
and keen to aid wherever he can be of service in the group. I could see that he's
going to be a good asset if he keeps coming back.
I
can’t tell yu’all how much I thoroughly enjoy these Thursday shindigs. I love
music. I like live garage style bands. I like watching songs being created on
the spot. I like that I am a permanent fixture with the Group. I like hearing, “Here’s
comes the wild child now!” when I walk through the door. I like that I can be
ME when I am with them 😊
I
left around somewhere around 8 PM, because it was quite dark by then, and Ocean
Beach Highway tends to fill with lunatic driver’s when the sun sets (I
prefer being home before pitch-black-nightfall; that didn’t happen tonight)
… and as I was nearing the end of Mill Creek Road, I happened to see a
super-sized Cruise Ship, cruising up the Columbia River; so I turned onto Ocean
Beach Highway – and quickly pulled over into the Oak Point turnout along, 2
shakes of a lamb’s tail away from where I’d caught sight of the hulking luxury
liner.
I
watched the huge ship pass, then I continued homeward – turning off at Germany
Creek and driving over Eufaula Heights to Coal Creek, which ties into the small
portion of Ocean Beach Highway very near my home. It’s a half hour longer
that a straight drive from A to B … but I don’t have to deal with
lunatic drivers, so it’s worth the extra distance, to me 😉
It
was a funtastic night with friends.
It
was great meeting Judah (interesting name for an interesting fella 😉).
I
can’t wait until next Thursday!
