above the theater blazed out "TEBO'S HOLIDAY
PARTY." And party it was. There were hundreds
of people there. We all had to check in to
verify we had been invited and at that time
were given two bar tickets.
We found ourselves a table for four and Robert
went off to see if he could find anyone he
knew while I held the table. Shortly, he
came back and I left to get a drink and
some food. Their were at least two stations
set up for hors d'oeuvres; one had Italian
food, the other had veggies and sushi. I
had a little of each and went back to our
table. I saw no one I knew nor had, to
my knowledge ever seen before.
We took turns wandering and at some point
Robert discovered a station with Texas
barbecue and salads so he came back with
dinner.
By this time the place was a buzz. Lots
of people and all making lots of noise. There
were musicians playing on stage and they had
been playing country western, but by this time
even though we were not far from the stage we
couldn't hear them.
Stephen Tebo came on stage and asked everyone
to quiet down and then announced the next
entertainment would be the "Skippets." The
Skippets were youngsters with an age range
of about 7 years to 17 years. They are
International skip-rope champions. Came in
second, I believe, last year and are hoping
to come in first in the UK this coming year.
They were sensational. Amazing stunts while
jumping rope, sometimes two ropes at the same
time. I was really impressed.
The final entertainers were Barber Shop singers.
There were probably 50 of them and they could
sing, but because of the noise coming from the
bar-area it was difficult hearing them. Tebo
twice, politely asked people to be quiet. The
third time he told them to shut up. Nothing
worked they kept on with their laughing and
screaming. Rude as rude can be!
Earlier in the week I had minor surgery to
repair my right eye which had become
very blurry. All better now.
It has been very cold this week and we received
about 6 inches of snow.
