Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I am sitting here this morning with one more day of Painting parasols at the park ahead of me. Last night, attendance was more than projection and I'm thinking tonight might be as well. The nice weather has brought people to enjoy the last week. My sister Ann even surprised me with a visit. I looked up and there she was (looking really great too) with a couple friends from church.
Since I've been so busy this week, I've not had a chance to post here about Christmas or my anniversary or the play Maura was in.
The play was first- It's called "Promedy" and was basically a comedy about prom- Maura (who played Dante) wanted to go with a cheerleader, who wanted to go with a football player, who liked the goth girl and then there was the geek, who ended up with the promise of 3 different dates (one being with the entire volleyball team) and ended up with none.
Maura did a good job of playing the rebel type guy. The prom theme was a mash up of underwater, renaissance and future, so she wore the cape, spongebob slippers and dueled with a starwars laser.
All in all the kids did a good job and most came over for the cast party afterwards. (I was working, so that was all on Steve)
For our anniversary, we got each other sappy cards and Steve had one of our wedding pictures enlarged on canvas and I bought him a silver celtic design ring with the word "more" engraved inside. We did a bit of shopping and then had an early dinner at Landry's (which was a bit of a disappointment taste-wise, but we didn't mention that to each other)
Christmas morning and I woke up at 5 remembering I didn't bake the pies yet so i was the first up. I finally woke everyone about 7 and we celebrated Christmas. After gifts were opened, i spent the next few hours in the kitchen, we ate about noon and then I napped a few hours. When i got up again, i made some snack food for dinner.
I am very excited about a couple few of my gifts. I got a new Kindle reader which is about the same size as my old sony one, but half as thin... so light, I'm not having problems holding it while sleeping.
I got the new version of family tree maker- so I'll be delving into that again, on my time off. I got a new ruffler foot for my sewing machine so I'll be playing with that too.
I just learned i have to take Delaney to work, so I have to get a move on.
Love to all!
