We have friends in town. Technically Tana is our friend and because of her special friendship with Cindy – we have a new wonderful friend. Thank you both for being in our lives.<\/p>\n

They might have gotten about 2 -3 hours sleep in their respective \u00a0Canadian bed Monday night and perhaps a few hours or less on the flight yesterday Tuesday. But despite the plane being delayed they hit the ground running. Oh to be young again \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Good thing we have been resting up for a week or so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Off to Friends Diner in the Golden Zone. Guess who was playing? Los Cryps \u00a0of course – one of my favorite bands. \u00a0The drummer is just behind Carlos so you can’t see him.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I had never partied with these gals before. Wow, did we ever hit it off.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I decided that we should appoint ourselves as the backup singers for the band and so it went…….<\/p><\/div>\n

Colin and I discovered Los Cryps in late 2013. I loved their music so very much ( still do ). This link takes you to what I posted on January 18, 2014, called an Enchanted Evening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please take a moment to read that post from 2014. It was so special that I could get close to those wonderful feelings from that enchanted evening again last night, 12 years and 10 months ago. Thank you Tana & Cindy. 12 \u00a0years and 10 months ago. \u00a0I was alive again last night.<\/p>\n

Taken January 6, 2019 at Gaia.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Serious conversation, just wanted you to see that Colin was there as well.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Two of us had two drinks. 1 had one and one had none. You figure it out.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Everyone loved their meal. I certainly enjoyed my shrimp tacos.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We had a great time. Lots of singing and laughter.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Colin said that I never stopped moving which is why I am so blurry. Action!!! \u00a0It was very difficult to leave the music.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

Another captivating evening. Thanks girls for getting me out into the world again. There was no dancing because of my pelvic fracture as I am not cleared to dance. I am sure that Tana & Cindy would have, but possibly refrained because of me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Taken Monday, November 10th. Outstanding.<\/p><\/div>\n

What next I ask?<\/p>\n
