KDD: From Gators to Karaoke

Its Sunday March 11 ,Here I am. I vanish ,
then reappear ,out from nowhere ,
I had thought about giving you all a synopsis of the last 8 months gone by ,
But,that ,really won't fly,
I get distracted with other things , before I know it , it will be the
Holiday Season ,
And there will be no good reason ,
to sit here and compose the sequence of Events,
much time will be spent ,
And Everything is out of date ,
so, it can't wait .

So , starting last July ,
Darrell and Allison did fly ,
To Orlando for the NFB Convention ,
That ,I didn't yet mention ,
They had a good time ,always do ,
Went to some meetings , visited the exhibit Hall and spent Time with
Debbie Hazelton & Larry T too ,
They saw a lot of cool technology , & went to gator land ,
Had a fun & interesting time from what I understand,
They got to feel the gators ,weren't scared ,thought it was cool,
no visits to the beach or swimming in the pool ,
and instead of going out to dinner and being served by waiters ,
Debbie made dinner for them all,
They had a ball ,
Good conversation & food: Potatoes and Steak
and Debbie made her infamous Italian Cheesecake.

This year ,the Convention will be in Dallas ,I probably won't go,
but in 2013,will be in Orlando & likely will,then , will let you know,
Just stay tuned to Karen's Corner alright ?,
I plan on posting much, more to my site.

In Early August Darrell began school At MCC ,
WE celebrated Birthday's,at Red Lobster ,His ,Alice & Joycie ,
Who turned Three.

In September we visited Jeff and Keri in Tucson , a good time spent,
Enjoyed one another's company & the Apple store we went ,
A few of us were having problems with our Phones ,so a trip was Taken
. We saw a couple Genius Guys,
Later ,went to CICI's Pizza ,it wasn't wise ,
For me to get the spicy chicken ,
it wasn't finger lickin ,
Good , Keri said it was mild ,but my taste buds didn't think so ,
My nose was itching ,mouth burning ,puts hair on your chest, you know?,lol

In October We got to visit Dougie,he sure has changed a lot
He ignored me on the spot
wanted to play with his siblings,his fur friends ,rather then visit with
me,
At first,I was hurt,then,was happy,that comfortable,he came to be,
with his new home & Family,Humans and Canines,
Later,he was fine
and was happy to see me,
He gave me kisses & wags & wanted my attention,
though, there was tension
between Dougie & Joyce,
Dougie,communicated,let his voice,
Be heard,that Joycie was a little pipsqueak and an annoying little girl,
His upper lip he did curl,
and he did snarl, and those two,we had to separate,
otherwise, the visit with him ,Kay and rick was great

Rick and Kay told us about a unique playhouse in Mesa near them, and MCc,
so later that month,a Comedy show there, we did see
It wasn't Stand up but all improvisation
and needed ,audience participation,

we laughed a lot that night, and glad we did go there,
and I still,have lots more to share.

Thanksgiving weekend we celebrated with our friend Allison and her
folks , the next day
We ordered a Turkey Dinner from Safeway,
as well as made some side dishes our self & so did they,
Had Delicious food and conversation,later we did play,
a game called, The Valley of the Green Sheep,started by Jeff,it was both
frustrating and fun
a mega amount of tweets and problem solving before it was all said and
done
and the mystery solved by many in the twittersphere,
such as, to Write, isn't,in the Valley but written , is,you see ?,
as well as KDD's, but not Poetry , is it clear ?,no, Comprendo?,
Sorry, won't unfold the puzzle here, that Avenue, I won't go lol.

Christmas I had some time off, and we spent it here in the state,
It was wonderful and great
First, time spent with ,Allison and Family. then Keri,Jeff and Gang
we had munchies and Christmas Carrols we sang,
We listened to a few Broadcasters on the air,
on both ACB Interactive and the Legend,time with them we did share,
it began with Debbie and Larry in the Sunshine state,
Then, late,
much later,
There was Rick,Jeff & Jr, that played a variety of tunes till midnight or
one O'clock
The music really did Rock,
and you all made our evening fabulous,that,I hope you do know?.

On Christmas day,we opened gifts and did our own special show.
Played all Christmas and an IPhone 4 S,I got ,some of you know,

Darrell gave me that , and got a lot of other cool stuff too,
From Allison,her folks,my family and friends,things I like and need,
Bath products ,cooking marinades and coffee ,yes,Indeed

We took the greyhound,another trip to Tucson we made, at the very end
of the year ,
Their like Family, close and Dear,
They are to Darrell and me.

On New Year's Eve we had a small party,Here were ,Allison,Mark and KJ
It began mid day,
then later in the day,
KJ and Mark went to a party hosted by a friend
and Darrell,Allison and I stayed up late ,hung out till the end,
Passed midnight ,had fun ,
me not as long , had to work On January one ,
Get up before the sun .

# 2012 has been a very busy one ,
very stressful and kind of fun ,
Work has been a challenge that,is for sure ,Corporate changes taken place
,notjust at our hotel
and, I am trying to get healthy ,stay well ,
Joined L A Fitness ,I'm enjoying it so far ,the trainers are helpful and
friendly ,
We like the pool and hot tub ,Darrell and me.

Other things we have done ,
having some fun,
In January and last month,we went to a show,
and to Big Bang Piano music we did go,

The show was titled " Run For you Wife ,,hysterically funny, that's for
sure ,
But ,the ending , disappointed we were ,
We both would have liked the Wives to be more vocal about being angry
,hurt and dissatisfied ,
Its like ,the play just died ,
Sometimes ,like a Dean Koontz Novel , where, the story ends too fast ,you
know what I mean ?
yet , glad, it , we did seen ,
saw. a fun Memory together we had .

In other entertainment news ,
Karaoke we did choose ,
to go a couple times last month ,at a Restaurant and Bar up in Scottsdale
near work , close to the Hyatt,
The place was happening, by 8 P:M , definitely not quiet ,
Its Called Ernie's, and we never been there ,till this year ,
and though, neither Darrell ,Allison and me , don't have a good ear ,
to sing ,we sung anyway ,
The DJ played "Unwritten" ,Allison and Darrell sung this ,
and if, you aren't on Twitter , this, you did miss ,
This was Darrell's Debut ,
It was fun , the time flew .

February eighteenth we went back and did Karaoke again ,brought other
friends along ,
and we all sung one song ,
Our Friend Tina, and Mark came too ,
WE sung ," Lean On me",that we did do.

WE did it all as a group ,Called ourselves,the Five Blind Mice ,Funny? ,yu
say?,
We did ok ,Mark's mic wasn't working ,there was no sound coming from it ,
yet we didn't quit
stayed together ,The bar sung with us ,so,I guess , we did fine?,
did alright ,
it was another fun night.

So , those,are the highlights from July to now , up to speed,
Hope, this was an informative and fun read ?
