Carol is visiting and we are busy! She arrived on Friday afternoon and we immediately went out to dinner and a show with Jan and Harvey. We love the South Carolina Repertory Theatre which is a black box seating 72. Each show is a treat and tonight was no exception. The production was Shipwrecked with one actor telling his story and two others doing all the bit parts. One who played a dog was truly enjoyable and talented. We just loved the show and are sad that the theatre is closing this spring, it will be a great loss.
On Saturday we did some errands and walked around the artsy section of Bluffton. Then we were off to Savannah for dinner with Sue and Bob at the Crystal Palace which is an old tavern with great food and atmosphere. Then we all went to a Contra dance at a very old school building. What fun we had learning the steps and listening to the caller and executing the steps. Lots of laughs.
Sunday was busy too as we got up early and drove to Parris Island. Jeff and I have been volunteering at the Marine Recruit Depot for several years running religious services on Sunday mornings. We try to go once a month as our synagogue is responsible for the services each week. For us it means waking up at 6, dressing and leaving the house at 7. We arrive at 7:30 and set up the room. The service lasts from 8 to 10 and then we drive home and take a nap. This week we had 21 recruits and we had a wonderful experience as always. One recruit we had met before had just finished his training and become a Marine. He looked so handsome and proud in his crisp, new uniform. Happily we were able to have Carol join us and share this experience which has become so important to us.
After resting we headed off to another synagogue function. Our monthly film club started at 2 and we are the A/V team. The movie was subtitled and interesting. Poor Carol realized that she had already seen this film, but watched it again. We came home, made dinner and sat like lumps watching TV all night.
