The last night of dancing.

We were up for breakfast and had agreed to separate until lunch time.  They went in their car and we went in ours.  Evelyn wanted to go to a consignment boutique looking for a costume for our Mardi Gras party in February.  The first one was closed, but I noticed a community thrift store across the street.  We went there and the Lord blessed us—as usual.  There was a perky, lovely young lady that looked 20 but was 36.  She was an avid costume planner.  The theme of this year’s party is movie characters and the young lady found and assembled a costume from the movie Aladdin.  She will be princess Jasmine.  I will be Harpo Marx thanks to my Cajun friend, Roland.  We went back to meet John and Sue.  We have to always carry them because their car is full.  We piled into hours and drove to the Friesenhaus for lunch.  We split an dinner of Jaeger schnitzel, a dish we love.  It was plenty for us.  John and Sue shared a lunch as well.  We finished and went back for a nap.  We went to the festival around 2.  It was another beautiful day but was packed again.  We went to the newest dance venue first so they could experience it.  We went from there to the grosse zelt to be entertained.  The tent was packed but we found some seats because someone got tired of sitting on the hard wood picnic table benches.  We sat through one group of entertainers so we could be there for Alex Meixner.  Sue got tired and left us.  Evelyn followed soon after.  Both due to painful seating.  John and I stayed through Alex’s show.  I liked it but found it very loud.  Besides that, people gather around the stage, making it difficult to see the antics.  We left and found the girls.  We had thought we would have another beer, but we were all tired and wanted to go back.  I sold our remaining tickets to a woman in line to buy some.  We left there and went to Wendy’s for a light supper.  I didn’t eat anything there because I was miffed at Sue for trying to run the evening—even where I should park.  I went back to the motel and ate some bean dip we had left over from yesterday.  We also packed much of our clothes because we planned to go to worship early tomorrow and then leave for home.  I was disappointed that John and Sue didn’t seem to have a very good time.  They danced little and didn’t seem to enjoy the performers.  It was the night to set our clocks back so we will get needed rest.
