For those who have asked, "The Sound of Music" went very well. It was, of course, a middle-school-level performance, but the kids did a wonderful job, and the audience enjoyed it. They even received a standing ovation after their last performance. My daughter was very well-cast as Brigitta, and she did a great job. (She got to step out of the shadow of her big sister for once!)  The poor kid fell asleep during Sunday school last night, though!

Sorry, that I missed you Vmm.  I am glad that all went well this weekend.  I am sure that you were so proud and excited to see "you little girl" up there performing.   So, has the acting bug hooked her? lol  I am not surprised that she was so tired after that weekend.  The Sound of Music play is a big task for adults, let alone for the children.  I always give the kids props to be able to handle all of the lines, action, singing.....everything that goes on to put it on.

Do you have a "top of the leader board pick" for this week?  Or did I miss it somewhere in a post?  If you could, could you post it again?  Thanks.

A quick hello from me. 
Having a wonderful and relaxing time so far…the Las Vegas fun isn’t until the middle of next week.

I’m disappointed that my Encaustic Painting class had to be cancelled…something I have never tried, but would like to.  The Classes and Tours person assured me that it will be offered again this coming fall, so I may try to take it then.  It’s somewhat like oil painting…or even finger painting in its simplest form, but the “paint” is highly pigmented melted wax.

I am going to take a mosaic tiles art class instead.  And actually this is very good because I have a repair that I may be able to do myself after learning some basics.
 
So sorry that I can’t keep up (or even catch up) on the board.  It seems to me that things are going pretty well with most sisters.  Niecey getting serious chemo, Tango healing up quickly.   Pets hanging in there.
 
I wanted to remind anyone who watches Who Do You Think You Are?  that the premier episode of this current season is tonight.




I know that Lea Michele is going to be the subject of one of the future episodes.  She tweeted about it.

Hey View...Sorry about your class being cancelled but glad you are having a good time...Hope you can pop in tonight for the show!!

I recorded Who Do You Think You Are last night!!

Tango...did you say you were going to the show????

Oh, yes, I am!   I have front row seats for hubby and I at the Ryman in Nashville on July 31.   M&G and everything.   It's a 3-hour drive, so we'll probably start the drive back after the show and stay in a motel somewhere.
 

I thought you did...Can't wait to here how it was!!!!
I remember going to the Grand Ole Opry when it was still at the Ryman many years ago...

I had an evaluation by the therapist Friday.   I met all the goals they had set for me the first week.   (I assume that means 5 days of therapy.)   All the movements (right/left/forward/back of my wrist, straightening my arm, bending my arm, twisting my wrist) improved between 5 & 15%.   Bending still has the furthest to go.   The pool really helps.

Spent the weekend working on my first costume.   It's all together.   I have some handwork to do on the inside, putting trim around the neck and gluing the rhinestones.   Hemming will be the big job.   It's machine hemming but it's a huge skirt, and finding the right length is the trickiest part.   I'll have to put it on and do some of the dances to be certain.  I've posted some pictures on my Facebook page (Jayne Danser) if anyone is on Facebook, but I'll try to figure out how/where to put them so you all can see them.

Tango...I am so glad that you are recovering so well....Can't wait to her about your competition and see your costume....
