My daughters, Hannah and Sarah, were performing this past weekend. Hannah played Scuttle, an eccentric seagull, in her high school’s version of The Little Mermaid. And Sarah was in the Pit Orchestra, playing the piano for Anything Goes at another local high school.

On top of watching four plays in three days, I also took my mom out to breakfast for her birthday, visited with many family members and a couple of friends at the plays, and we had my father over for an Oscar’s party. We are a big movie watching family, though I’ve been watching them a lot less than I used to. We filled out Oscar ballots to guess who the Oscars would go to and I failed miserably at the guessing. It was my husband, Bobby, who got the most correct. He hadn’t seen many of the movies, so I was surprised he beat Joseph and my Dad.

Other news: I am still trying to get our refrigerator repaired, and still waiting for our new vacuum cleaner. (Our hose fell apart.)

I’ll end this post with a few more pictures of my favorite character. (Drawing by my son, Joseph)
