26 - Volume Two - The Rex August 15

Another wonderful Saturday afternoon at The Rex. Went to enjoy Laura Hubert sing old jazz standards. Sitting next to me was a woman who regularly participates in the Wednesday night jazz jam at Chalkers, another jazz club that I must go and check out sometime (maybe this Wednesday). She gave me an Indigo gift card, complete with the little paper envelope they always come in, and the receipt showing the balance ($4.44). This is a first - a little complete package added to the journal.



On the other side of me were Stan and Pamela (my sister and I call her the Ella Fitzgerald woman, or the Dionne Warwick woman - she is a very striking lady). Stan and Pamela each made an entry just a short time ago (in the blog entry #22). But after getting Jacky's entry, they had taken the book from me and were putting this in. Very sweet. It's fascinating to me that people give thought to what they want people to see of what they put in here. Total strangers that - for the most part - they will never meet; they want them to read something important or meaningful.



Sitting at a nearby table was another pair of regulars, the couple we refer to as the Scottish couple (even Stan and Pamela call them the Scottish couple). They live here now, but they have wonderful thick Scottish accents. Stan grabbed the book and told them that they had to be in the book. He went over to sit with them and explained the journal to them while I continued chatting with Jacky. It was very funny to me that other people are recruiting new entries for me.



Also love the fact that there is a theme to the two entries provided by this couple.



Oh, and .... a bandaid! Another first.
Stephen made the funny observation that a small bandaid would suffice after almost cutting off her finger.
