Lots more rain yesterday--yay! I took Ray to UGA and went to my Dad's. He was doing dishes, which he does without a shirt on. I had a 10 o'clock dental appointment and then he took my car to my house and got his boots.

The dentist took forever (an hour and a half). Some of my fillings are old and should be replaced, but other than that all is well. We drove to Clarkesville, about an hour, for lunch, and then met up with an OLLI group. We went to Mark of the Potter and a shop selling plants. We went to see one woman's garden with a large sturdy fence to keep out deer. We sat around drinking wine on her screened porch and having a good time (I was the youngest by a lot). I didn't have any and I was surprised that everyone else did. Randall told about being on the grand jury and having them acquit a man who hit someone--I guess because he was 90. He complained about the DA (Ken M.) sending them cases that weren't well prepared.

We stopped at Glen-Ella Springs, a lovely old resort hotel where they do lots of weddings. It was really nice and peaceful--maybe I'll go there to eat sometime.

We drove home to Athens, picking up Ray and leaving my Dad at his place. Ray and I decided to eat out, since it was 6:30. We went to Taqueria del Sol, but they don't serve dinner every night. We ended up eating at Siri Thai, which has a more elegant feeling at night, but is still delicious and is quite a bargain ($34 for two).

I went to Town and Gown to audition for Lysistrata. It was so fun! Rick Rose is directing, Florence was helping him, along with Hue Henry. Other people auditioning were Terrell, Genevieve, Bill A., Nathan A., and many I didn't know as well. It was really fun, including some Greek dancing. Ray sat in the lobby and worked, but he could hear me and said I sounded great. It will be a wonderful show. The problem is I was planning to be gone most of the month of July when the rehearsals are. Performances start August 3. If I get cast, I may not travel as much as I was expecting, in order to stay here and rehearse. I will have a day or two to decide after they post the cast list. Life is full of these sorts of choices and it's really hard. I have waited for a play and director that I felt good about for years.

We were home before 9 and watched some TV and ate chocolate pudding. I fell asleep before 10.

This morning it is very humid and over 70, so the AC will be running soon.
