In Keeping With My Stacation...

I had a good weekend.  I did all the chores I normally do.  Last night, I went to see "Annie Get Your Gun" at the Lubbock Moonlight Musicals http://www.lubbockmoonlightmusicals.org/.  I did not go to Peter Pan" which played in June. The "Peter Pan" story does nothing for me. 

Frankly, the "Annie Get Your Gun" story does little for me.  But the musical has some songs that I really like:  "There's No Business Like Show Business," "The Girl That I Marry," and "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better."  I enjoyed the play.  But going to a Lubbock Moonlight Musical is not a vacation activity. 

Even so, the moons was almost full last night.  (It looks like the full moon is officially the 22nd or 23rd of the month.) The night air was fresh but warm.  It was a beautiful night to be out for a musical.

Today, I did yard work in the morning, then went to the American Wind Power Center and Museum http://www.windmill.com/.   I have been on the grounds several times, and I have been in the museum but have not paid admission to do the self tour.

It was very interesting. Some of the technical stuff that they reported about the windmills was not totally beyond me, but not something I could totally grasp. 

It was a good day to tour the museum.  It was in the high 80s or low 90s.  There were lots of clouds, so they blocked the sun from time to time. And the stiff breeze helped to keep the air tolerable. So, walking the grounds was hot but tolerable also.

On my way home, I decided I wanted a cold treat.  I opted for a light Orange Julius slush from Dairy Queen http://www.dairyqueen.com/us-en/OrangeJulius/

So, those were my stacation activities for the weekend.
