Well, I'd bought the ticket 2 months ago, the very last on on the website, but then I forgot about it until I got a reminder email on Friday & dang was I happy!! 😄😄  I got to go to the Cactus Theater to see Diamond Rio last night.  Woohoo!!    DR, as they are known to their friends, is a country band that has been recording & touring for more than 30 years & they have great voices & a slew of hits & I'm a huge fan.  I would not have gone to a big place to see them but the Cactus is 426 seats & feels very cozy.  It's been remodeled, has great sound, a concession stand & is very easy to get to & park around.  Always clean & a nice respectful.  Mostly they do tribute shows & oldies nights, which suits geezers like me.  Occasionally, I've seen famous people too.  I got to see B J Thomas there last time he was in Lubbock & since he's my favorite singer ever, I was thrilled. And sometimes there is ...

Reta's Broccoli Salad 4-6 Cups Broccoli Florets (Fresh) 1 Cup Miracle Whip 1/4 Cup sugar 1/4 Cup Onion 1 TBS White Vinegar 5 Slices of bacon, fried and made into bits 2 oz sunflower seeds 4-8 oz cheddar cheese, finely shredded Prepare salad dressing by mixing Miracle Whip, sugar, onion & vinegar.  Mix well with broccoli and refrigerate overnight.  Add bacon bits 2-4 hours before serving.  Then right before serving, add cheese and sunflower seeds and mix thoroughly.    This is my favorite salad ever and it's really easy.  Cutting the broccoli takes the most time. My dear friend Reta used to bring this to work functions by the big Thanksgiving roaster-full.   It always goes fast!!
