Over The River And Through The Woods

December 23, 2016 at 8:50 am by Claudia

I shared this on Instagram last week but forgot to share it here.

On Saturday, after the big snowfall, Don and I went to the grocery store and on our way down the road, we saw this on the sign in front of our local firehouse. We had to stop and record this for posterity.

Even for Santa, this snow was too much!

I’m not called for rehearsal today – the reward for hours of one-on-one coaching yesterday and the day before. So I’m headed home later this morning. Yay!

I can’t wait to see my husband and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home in the cottage.

Happy Friday.

      Don’s still not sure if he wants it this year. I have a feeling he’ll cave.

    Great to get to be home a bit earlier for the Christmas. If Santa couldn’t make breakfast how do us regular people stand a chance of getting around. I hope there were not too many disappointed children. My three loved breakfast with Santa a long time ago! Happy holidays and my best wishes for the New Year.

      No crazy traffic – driving home was a breeze!

      I sure hope Santa rescheduled that breakfast! Merry Christmas!

    I just sat down and opened my computer for the first time today. Glad the drive home was uneventful and that the result means you get several extra hours at home. How fun!! Hope you are having a lovely evening!!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
