Cabaret at The Smith Center

After a seriously fun morning my head still reeling of tools, colors and all the possibilities of wood turning how could I expect anything more than that? I spent the evening at the Smith Center Cabaret theater. Invited by some very good friends out for dinner and an amazing night of music with Clint Holmes and Domenick Allen. Only my second time seeing a Clint Holmes show and each show I know I am becoming a fan ...one more show and I think it classifies me as a groupie. Joined on stage was his very good friend Domenick Allen and wow! the two together are so great together. Each month Clint Holmes plays and brand new show with a theme, last time I saw him he played all James Taylor music and last night it was all music about different cities, states and countries ...all songs we know and love. The balance between the two musicians was magic, besides singing Domenick also played the flute and Sax. Loved that show and can't wait to see Clint in April. If you haven't seen a show in that little Cabaret theater you are really missing out. Thank you so much once again Betty and Steve my day was full of happiness and music...Love those kind of days.

Seriously Fun Day

What a fun day today! was able to take a semi-private wood turning class today from an excellent teacher...thanks Ken and Gisele. We started with a chunk of wood and turned it into a beautiful pen, mine is on the left and Gisele's is on the right. The entire process was amazing, I can't believe I made such a beautiful thing.

20 Years of River Dance

Last night I went with a good friend to the Smith Center to see a great performance of River Dance. I saw this about 20 years ago with it first opened, love to watch dancers and WOW these people can dance. Thanks Ronna had such a fun time and I am glad we decided to "roll the dice" and brave the weather.

Whirl Wind Weekend...too much fun

What a fun fun 24 hours with my California bestie of 48 years. Judi flew in from San Diego Saturday morning so she could take my Sunday morning class and boy did we cram a lot into that short visit. One of the things we did was took in the Beatles Cirque show. I had seen it 10 years ago when if first opened and Judi had never seen it. Great seats and the show is so fun, who doesn't know and love every Beatle song ever written. Can't wait for the next adventure.

Casa de Shenandoah

What a fun day today with the gang at Cora Coleman, we had a very special tour today of "Mr. Las Vegas" ranch. Oh and did you happen to catch my photo with him ....AGAIN? He came to one of our parties 2 years ago and his wife took a photo of him and I. Fantastic tour and yes ...he and his wife were really there to say hello to us. The tour was a 3 hour tour and believe me I could have stayed so much longer there was so much to see. Just walking outside around the grounds to see his horses and exotic animals was just breathtaking and peaceful. I can't say enough good things about this day, the tour was great but the friends I was with really helped to. There were a total of 22 of us and what a ball we had during the tour and then all out to lunch. It's just one of these days I will smile about every time I think about it. We invited Wayne to come to our Christmas Party that is next week and he said he was going to really try to stop by. How lucky are we? I love my job.
