The Roller Coaster Ride is Over

We had our last bridge lesson today and exchanged emails with our table partners.  We will miss the classes and our table partners.  We will look for classes in the Chicago area and try to talk some friends into playing with us.

We had a quick bite at home and then went to the Orange Blossom Opry, which is always an entertaining evening. It is a ride on country roads and a detour made it even more challenging.  Good thing we had been there before and knew our way.  The girl singer changes clothes multiple times during the evening.  The band is great and it is fun.

Tonight, however, we were a little distracted because, on the way there, we called Betty.  They were going to be turning off Phil's life-support equipment in a couple of hours.  The roller coaster ride that she and Phil's kids have been on is over. When we got out of the Opry,  Phil was gone!  The funeral will be on Monday or Tuesday and there is no way that we can get there in time. 

He was such a great guy and made Betty so happy that we are upset that we cannot be there to say good-bye.

We will stop in Indianapolis on the way home and spend some quality time with Betty.
