Decided to try out for Pratt Community College‘s production of “Footloose”…after posing the question on Facebook, and getting encouragement from many “Fans” !!!

Auditions were last night. I brought my knitting project, showing my age, as quite possibly the eldest participant. I really know most of nothing about the plot of the play, even though I do remember watching the movie on TV a few years ago. I don’t remember much. Even as I listened to the reading of the selections of the script being read, I remember very little. I believe in those years I was much too busy raising children to remember much of anything.

The whole process was new. I was in high school plays, but that has been 42 years ago. LONG AGO IN THE OLDEN DAYS! Misty, the Director, was calm, and handled the group well…telling us where to go…well, you know what I mean!

The sweetest surprise….my 8 year old Grandson, Hunter, was there, too! I didn’t know he was coming!

So….the next morning…Facebook update. I read that Misty was giving everyone who tried out,  excuse me, auditioned, a part! That was a surprise. A pleasant one. I saw all of those eager children, teens, and college kids so eager and excited to be there, and I had worried about trying to tell any of them that they could not have a part. Kudos to Misty and her crew for the way they handled that worry of mine! I was enjoying the tryouts, so if I got a part or not..not a big deal. It was fun being there.

So, Next Facebok update..the casting was announced. I am officially in the United Church of Bomont Choir, as I suspected, a Church Lady! Are any of you surprised by the type-casting involved in this decision? HA

I am going to have fun….Hunter and I!

Hunter is the one in front of his Mom. My son Patrick and his wife, Ludi, have three great sons, Hunter, Leo, and Gage. They do a wonderful job of encouraging each in their various interests. I don’t know how they keep up with the schedules…but they do. I’m extremely proud of my children, all of them. And all of the Grandchildren, too.

My mother-in-law made this and called it Dilly Casserole Bread, as you were supposed to bake it in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. [...]

Ugly Sweaters

Ugly Sweaters

Christmas celebrating went to a new level at our house this year! The ugly sweater contest was not an original idea.. a friend’s family had done this several years ago. The idea intrigued me, and MOST of us thought so, too. There were a few that were skeptical of the process! Obviously the group above [...]

“Any Road” Won’t Do
