We went down to Edmonton last weekend for a quick surprise 30th birthday trip to see Erika (and Chuck, of course). We drove down Saturday and back Sunday, so we didn't have tons of time, but we're glad we went all the same.
We met up with Chuck, Erika, Charity, and Maria for an evening of jazz at the Yardbird suite. Maria made this wonderful ganache cake-thing, we brought flowers, and it turned out to be a fun event. The band was a bit too hardcore on making the music complex & fast for my taste. I'd forgotten that not all jazz is smooth and slow. The next live jazz that I'd like to see would hopefully be just a vocals/piano/upright bass kind of thing. We'll see how that goes!
This Friday is the Christmas party for Jeremie's work, so we're heading off for a dinner theatre evening. I don't know that we'll stay for the whole thing, since the evening is billed as an adult play and we're not into that kind of thing. But it will be good to meet/re-meet a few of his co-workers and their wives. I'm looking forward more to next weekend, where their work is paying for a ladies' spa day - lunch, facial, and manicure. It sounds fabulous. Don't you agree?
