Outa' Commission, Outa' Sorts, Outa' My Mind

For those who don't know me well enough, it is a known fact that I am compulsive AND a klutz. Put those two traits together and you have "me". Our trip was fraught with all sorts of (mis)adventures, and then I went on another trip of a different sort. Working out in the gym, I "tripped" into the arm rail of the treadmill and fractured my sternum. That combined with the sinus infection put me "outa' commission". So I have been "outa' sorts" (to say the least) as we put together our Passover Seder. Not having dressed for the occasion, I was a sight to behold, but, for me, the wine tempered the effect of my clothing choices and, we proceeded to have a successful Pesach. "Outa' My Mind"....you betcha! I don't like being confined, I don't like not doing what I want to do when I want to do it. So, I am limited in physical activity to walking, typing, texting. It is so much safer for me in Membership! I promise....no physical activities whatsoever! Does anyone want to join me on Membership?

SUPPER CLUB

The May supper club will be held at 6:00 PM on Saturday May 11, 2019 at Nona Blue Restaurant located in the Sawgrass shopping center in Ponte Vedra Beach.

We have a private room and due to the small capacity of the room, seating is limited to the first 18 people who respond. A waiting list will begin after that number is reached.
