We’re open. Hamlet is one of the best productions I’ve ever worked on. Simply stunning. The audience cheered and whooped at intermission. They went wild at the end of the play. It’s that good.
The cast is enormously talented. They are also very, very nice. It’s been a joy. As always, I’m ready to go home, but sad to leave. Ah, well. Such is the push-pull of the theater life.
So this is a short one. Have to pack. Have to load the car. Have to get Scout ready for the journey home.
Happy Saturday.
Susie says
Claudia, Hope your trip is safe. I wish I could see Scout when she gets home. :):) You will probably have a ton of things to do once your back home. Try not to over do. I’ll be thinking of you . xoxo,Susie
Claudia says
I’ve unpacked about half my stuff. Just ate a sandwich and sat down with Miss Scout in the tunnel.
Tana says
So pleased to hear your “review”. Of course the play is going to be good, you worked on it! You and Scout have a good day and travel safely.
Claudia says
We’re home safely, Tana.
Linda @ A La Carte says
Safe travels! So glad the opening went so well.
hugs,

Claudia says
It was spectacular, Linda.
Debbie in Oregon says
Safe travels home for you and Miss Scout.
Claudia says
We’re home, Debbie.
Balisha says
Travel safe….precious cargo!
Balisha
Claudia says
Precious indeed, Balisha.
Barbara W. says
Well done!
Now safe trip home.
Claudia says
We’re home, Barbara, safe and sound.
Nancy in PA says
Claudia, I sent your “review” to my father, who is going to see the play on the 29th. He is really looking forward to it!
Also, I second Susie’s comment (above). Don’t try to do too much. Just bask for a day or two. But do take a few pictures of Scout on her home turf, please; your readers love her so.
Claudia says
Everything looks cluttered and dirty, which I knew it would! Work ahead of me. And lots and lots of leaves to rake!
Laura says
Congratulations on such a successful opening. Have a safe trip home. Claudia. xo Laura
Claudia says
We’re home, Laura.
Donnamae says
Happy last night went well!! ‘Course we all sort of knew it would! Hope you and Scout have a safe journey HOME! ;)
Claudia says
We’re home and exhausted!
Donnamae says
Good…time for a quick nap!;)
Janet in Rochester says
Safe trip home. And when you get there, [1] take several deep breaths and [B] enjoy all that country quiet! Have a good weekend too…
Claudia says
No machinery, no cranes….just traffic.
Nancy Blue Moon says
I’m so glad the night went well..another adventure comes to an end..be safe on your trip..talk to you when you are home..
Claudia says
I’m home now. More tomorrow, Nancy.
Missy says
Glad it was a success ..Safe trip home…Will you be home for awhile now???
Claudia says
Yes. Although, I’d love more work!
Chris k in Wisconsin says
I can see from your comments that you had safe travels and are, at last, home again (home again, jiggety jig). Was Scout smiling when you arrived or was she a bit confused by it all? If she is in her tunnel, it seems things must be good. Lots of sniffing and snooping will need to be done in her little area outside. Much fluffing and floofing for you to do, too, I am sure… and the leaves will still be there tomorrow (unless you have a friendly wind to take them away). And so glad you have those wonderful memories from your weeks of hard work now behind you. Will you be home now through the holidays?
Claudia says
Should be. But I’m willing to take more work if it comes along!
Suezk says
so glad you ladies are home safely
is it ok if I share a nice story here?
my husband just spent three weeks in the hospital and is home but not in any shape to mow the lawn
what a sweet sweet sound it was to hear a lawn mower and realize our next door neighbor is out there cutting our grass
what a sweet think that it
renews my faith in people
you girls take it easy and enjoy your night together.. is your hubby coming home soon?
Suezk says
thing that is…. I should proof read more often :)
Claudia says
That’s such a lovely story Sue. Our neighbors cleaned out our gutters while we were gone. I was afraid, with all the rain, that the ones by the kitchen would clog up and leak into the kitchen. They did such a good job of it! Kind neighbors restore my faith as well.
Don will be home in two more weeks.
Debby Messner says
A job well done. Welcome home. Hugs
Claudia says
Thank you, Debby.
Judy Clark says
So glad you and Scout are safely home. You’ll have that two weeks to get things done before Don gets home. Will he be home on any days off? Enjoy being at home.
Judy
Claudia says
I don’t think he will, Judy. And I have our only car! (He’s sick with a cold, poor guy.)
