Singing at Sycamores Terrace

I am so blessed to have amazingly talented friends, who have such giving hearts and are willing to give of their time and talents to go with me and entertain the wonderful folks over at the Sycamores Terrace Retirement Community. My Mom and Dad moved there 2 years ago, so I've gotten to know alot of the residents, as well as the staff there and it's really a great place for seniors to live and fellowship together.

This time, my friends, Carolyn Martin and Gary Jenkins went with me and we had a blast! Carolyn is one of my FAV singers and she can play the heck out of the guitar too! Gary went with me last time and was requested back by all the residents because he is an amazing entertainer!! We also got Karen Banach to sing with us too. She is the activities director there are Sycamores, but let me tell ya.... that girl can SING! She is a delight!!

You can see Miss Carolyn singing for the crowd in the first picture here.... then the next pic is Karen, me, Carolyn and Gary singing the closing number "Take Me Home Country Roads".. (of course) ..LOL

I also was blessed to have my friends Vickie Martindale and her mother, Mary Gilbert come along with me to the show. Mary is my neighbor and like another "mom" to me and it was her 77th birthday!! It was a treat to have them with me...

My Mom wasn't feeling too well, and didn't come down for the show, so what did we do? Well, we took the show to HER!! We all went up to her apartment and did a private show for her and it just made her day!! You can see Carolyn, Vickie, Mary, Gary, Mom and Dad in the third picture here while we were up in their apartment visiting/singing with them.

The last picture is me, Mary and Vickie....we look really happy, probably because we are leaving tomorrow morning for Harrah's in Metropolis, IL... It's our yearly "girl trip" and we always have a blast! Wish us luck!!!
