Candy, Melba, Sandi MoralesHere's one thang that keeps my life so full...
my mother-in-law, Melba--93 yr. young,
and the kitchen band at her
retirement home.
We are the three ukulele players
along with seven other ladies playing
wooden spoons, a wash board, and
a few pots and pans.
Our latest show "All About Girls"
was recently performed for all the
residents and again for a private
company luncheon hosted by
Horizon Bay, San Marcus.
The song list included such numbers as Ain't She Sweet, Five Foot Two, If You Knew Susie, Dinah Is There Anyone Finer, My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, Ida Sweet as Apple Cider and Ramblin Rose. Melba does what she calls the walker waltz to show folks with walkers they can still dance. And then we close out the show with Goodnight Irene and Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye.
