The last hurrah!


With all this Facebook back and forth, I have gotten away from writing my little bits of snippets of my "so called" life.

Here is the yearly installment of our family photo on the dock in our beloved Leland. I am hoping to be up north for a few days next week to say a fond farewell, for the summer, to the Lake. Her and I have been friends for quite some time.

Here is a shot of river otters that we came across just beyond where this photo was taken. Really took us by surprise! They were so fun to watch.

Two more days of summer camp and then a week to gather my thoughts before another year of school begins.

We start our next production, with auditions, on the 7th! Whew! Off to learn some music!

'Nite!!

FACEBOOK!

LORDY! I am almost completely in the 21st century! I now have a page on Facebook. It's taking me ages to fill in all the profile info. I wrote all this witty stuff only to discover it all got erased when I leaned on the keys thinking of something interesting to write about myself. VANITY! Sigh.

The summer theatre camp is winding down and will finish this Friday. That, for me, is the harbinger of Fall.

I sang for a funeral last week. It was for my friend's mom. Her and I and another friend formed a "club" when we all had lost our fathers. The "Daddy Club" is just Kim, Kori and I. Now Kim has joined the orphan club. Funny how we still think of ourselves as orphans when both parents pass on. Just goes to show you what a towering presence these people are in our lives. Makes me all the more aware of what I do and say in front of my daughter.

The camp kids did a performance in Campus Martius Park yesterday and it was really lovely. (Love to embed something on the park here. How do I do it???Anyone???) The fountain was lovely, the Compuware building was impressive and the kids sang their hearts out. Way fun!

Ain't we cute?


My hubby is in Traverse City today. He played a concert last night at the Music House

and today he is enjoying being out and around the lake. Gee, I miss him. How is your summer progressing? (Does anyone know how to inbed an address?)

I have a performance tonight. 40+ children ages 5 - 7 will do a show tonight that we have worked with them on for the past 4 days. They are doing very well. It's amazing, really. Should be fun!
