The view from my car window.
Iowa is full of farms – beautiful farms everywhere. As I drove from Cedar Falls to Cedar Rapids today, I saw vast areas of crops, dairy cows, silos, beautiful barns, and horses. The landscape was very flat for most of the trip until I got closer to Cedar Rapids where there were rolling hills. Why was I going to Cedar Rapids? To buy my new MacBook!!!!! I’ve been wanting one for so long. We have an iMac at home, but my husband is on it a lot for his work, and I am on it a lot for mine. This year I’ve been on the road working quite often and I realized that a laptop was becoming necessary. The nearest place to get one was in Cedar Rapids…hence my trip. It was a lovely drive and I enjoyed being back in CR once again. My best friend and her family lived there in the 80’s and I visited them. I only made it to the outskirts of CR but that necessitated a call to my friend to say I was in her old stomping grounds.
Another reason for the laptop? I get to blog on the road.
Back to the real reason I’m here. Sweeney Todd opened last night and was greeted with a standing ovation. The cast was terrific; they have done an enormous amount of work in a very short time. It is a powerful production. I will watch it tonight and take notes one more time and then I am off to Florida for 4 days of work in The Wizard of Oz. I will post again soon.
