Opening, Magnolia Bakery and Walking by the River

at by

Opening night was spectacular – such an incredible audience! It really is a “Feel Good” musical. And we all need something like that right about now. Lots of press everywhere and Jimmy was in attendance and came out for the curtain call, leading the audience in “I Will Play for Gumbo” and “Margaritaville.” There was a party afterwards and we didn’t get home until 1 in the morning. Needless to say, I was too hyped to fall asleep in a timely manner, so I’m suffering today.

Good news: no more rehearsals and/or notes until they start up again in NYC in January, so I can finally do some exploring and adventuring with my husband. When we were in New Orleans, he was rehearsing every day. So, this opportunity for time together is welcome.

My walk to the theater. Isn’t it lovely?

Tourists standing on the top of a tour boat in the rain. Bless their fortitude.

Imagine my delight when I walked around a corner near the theater and found this!

Of course, I bought two cupcakes – one for me and one for Don.

Tile floors near the counter. I love this retro style.

Don’t you love this fan? I’ve never see anything like it.

I had WiFi problems yesterday which have – hopefully – been ironed out. I’m writing this on Thursday but it will be posted on Friday. Thanks so much for your patience.

Happy Friday.

Posting Problems

Hey everyone, we’re having trouble with the WiFi here today and I can’t upload any images and it’s all slow as molasses. So I’ll post more tomorrow.

 

Thanks for your patience!

When Did This Become the Norm?

at by

A rainy morning here at the cottage.

Three different times this morning, I’ve tried to take a picture that wasn’t dark and grainy. But no can do. Too dark. If I’m thinking ahead, I try to take pictures the day before. But I didn’t, so you’re stuck with a photo of houseplants. Again.

A short post today because I don’t have a whole lot more to say.

I am heartsick at yet another mass shooting, where innocent people worshipping in a church were gunned down. I don’t want to hear one more politician who takes money from the NRA say anything about ‘prayers.’ Grow a damn spine and stand up to the NRA. Now. At what point did an amendment that concerned owning a musket evolve into the right to own semi-automatic weapons? And when did the right to own a weapon become more important than the lives of our fellow citizens? When did any semblance of a moral compass disappear? I tell you, I have had it. There is an insanity spreading in this country. I won’t have it. I want my country back. Vote tomorrow. Vote.

Happy Monday.
