Theatre Wednesday

Dermatology check for me in the afternoon and a biopsy was sent for one area.  No news is good news so I hope next week about this time I don't hear anything.  Yearly checks were recommended for me - what fun!  Quick in and out to feed and walk the fur babies and then John's Pizza for dinner with Miss Pam and Miss Deb.  Bonus was that Cassie and Lena were there and stayed for dinner! Kendall, of course, received special treatment with lunch all ready and packaged for tomorrow.

We saw The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder.  It was wonderful - incredible actors/musicians/ singers!  They had a musical pre-show that we very much enjoyed.  "Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.” So says the wealthy widower Horace Vandergelder who recruits the vivacious and sly Dolly Levi to find him a new wife in this wild mix of outrageous misbehavior, mistaken identity, and spontaneous romance. 

Our favorite lines:
Dolly "Gallagher" Levi: "Money, pardon the expression, is like manure. It's not worth a thing unless it's spread around, encouraging young things to grow."

And in this version the youngest character Barnaby Tucker (which captured Kendall's attention since he was the youngest person attending the play tonight) summarized the play "The world is full of wonderful things and that we all should enjoy just the right amount of sitting quietly at home and just the right amount of adventure."   Amen.

Kendall had math, science, language arts and social studies homework (a record since it was all his major subjects but I emailed his teacher's that we would complete any unfinished homework Thuirsday night) that we did not finish.

We made it home at quarter to 11pm, exhausted but a fun night!

Buenas noches!
