Phil's Notes
or Subtitled: What I Did this weekend>

1). 8:00 PM Friday Night: We had our dose of culture for the week.
We attended our RPO Pops Concert on Friday night entitled Bright
Lights Big City; The Best of Broadway which featured the best of
Broadway for the last 100 years. They had a variety of tunes
and they had two fanciful singers who accompanied the orchestra.
They also had various costune changes ( which they seemed to
accomplish in record time). One of our favorite was 76 Trombones
which featured their three trombones ( but they made it sound like
many more) and songs from the Jersey Boys including Big Girls
Don't Cry. The interesting thing about their interpretation of this
number was they had the female singer sing both high bass part and lower
part in the same number ( in same song). I think that this was
one of the better concerts for the season/ as I knew most of the songs
and I could direct along ( in my seat) as I did for 76 trombones.
I would give it 10 on a 1-10 scale.

2). Saturday 10:00AM We began our journey to Lockport, NY by making
a pit stop at North Chili Family Resturant to meet and visit with
Jo Ann sister Edie and brother in law Maurice( who were in from Canada
for a visit) Maurice in a minister in Toronto, Ontario. We had breakfast
with them and caught up on old times.

3). Saturday 4:30PM We arrived at Phil's sister Karen's house in Lockport
where we had supper. Phil and Jo Ann furnished the supper ( which
was cooked chicken and pre prepared potatoes / from local Wegmans.)
We also had Phil's mother, brother in law Ken, nephew Raymond,
nephew Kevin and Neice katrina there. Katrina just got herself a
car which she finally got on the road and she took Phil for a ride in
it. Phil wasn;t to sure of riding with a new driver but it turned out
alright. The family went out to local Tastee Freeze for desert and
there was a crowd there. It reminded me of the Abbotts down at
Charlotte during the summer. We stayed at Motel 6 in Williamsville
for the evening.

4). Sunday 11:00 AM we attended Bethesda Temple Church in Tonawanda, NY
which was phil's boyhood church and current church of his sister and
mother. It is a pentecostal church and they have very lively services
and music and preaching, which we always enjoy.

5). Sunday 1:15 PM We went to Zebbs on Niagara Falls Blvd for lunch
because Karen had a coupon and had a nice lunch there. Phil had a
healthful lunch of turkey on multi grain roll and potatoes.
They have a Zebbs in Brighton, NY which we have eaten at before.
