Ideal Couple

Clare and Vern came to visit.

Las Vegas Trip

This is what we spotted on our trip to Las Vegas! A Sylvia, an Isabel, a fierce Luke, and a baby Hazel with her mother Sabrina.

Theater Festival at CSUF

Jean called to say she had seen a production at UVU called Nosferatu and that it would be performed in Fullerton, CA at CSUF for the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival in a few days, and we should go see it. We drove over there early to catch the first production, As You Like It, (a terrific performance), then we ate pasta and garlic bread in their Garden Cafe. The weather was perfect and there was a band playing on the green. A couple girls were sitting under a tarp awning selling fundraiser baked items for a new health center there, so that's where we got our dessert. Next was Jesus Hopped the A Train, which was very well done, and during the wait for the next play, I met a lovely woman, so we conversed while Lee scouted around. Finally we saw Nosferatu, a play that compares to nothing we have ever seen on stage. It involved a crew of actors and technicians that created the old 1922 film before our eyes and the film that they were creating was shown simultaneously on a very large screen above. It was genius the way all the participants flawlessly performed, changed sets, and set up and moved cameras, and lights. What a great 10 hours!

A Sailor

Here's a man I knew 50 years ago!

A Bug in your Ear

Lee got up after a long night's sleep and felt something in his ear. He got it out with his finger and found a big, black bug alive INSIDE his ear! He was hesitant to give me permission to show this because people might think he is "creepy." I assured him the big, black bug was CREEPY. and that I was glad it didn't choose me! For the next couple nights there was a ritual spraying before bedtime.

Tutoring

Today I spent the morning tutoring Carol. We took extra long because she wouldn't have made it through the next week without knowing what happened in the book Among the Dolls. So we took time to finish the last half in one sitting. It was really fun to read the book together and share the suspense and love for that story. She is a very bright student and fun to teach. Here in the picture she is holding a family of dolls that my mother made and is sitting next to the doll house. I asked her to set it up for my grandchildren, and she was delighted to do it.

Inauguration Bash

This is one of the thousands of Inauguration Bashes planned all over the country by Obama supporters. Ours was in a neighborhood very near us. We met great people.
