Is it Really Mid July Already?

I guess the calendar doesn't lie. It is already the middle of July.

So much has been happening this summer, I haven't had time to sit and write as much as I would like to.

Z2 had a wonderful trip to New York City with some family friends. She arrived home late Friday night. Lots a wonderful pictures and wonderful stories. Now I keep wondering when it is my turn to go!!

We had nine house guests this past weekend. They were up here for Kellogg Worshipfest, an outdoor Christian concert put on by our church, Christian Life Center. PKR's sister Laurie came up from Meridian and brought her band, and many of them stayed here, along with members of their families.

I didn't get to see much of the concert, because of "D.K. Molar, the Devious Dentist", the show we are doing in Wallace at the Sixth Street Melodrama. And we have started rehearsals for next month's show as well, one PKR wrote. It was fun performing for family members and friends this past weekend. Crowds have been a little small again this summer....I really hope this isn't that last summer for this type of live entertainment in Wallace...but if we don't get the people to come see the show, it may be...YIKES!!!

(Hey, if anyone wants to come, I can get you $3 off the regular ticket prices. Just email me and I'll get you a great deal!!)

I finished helping with Sixth Grade Summer School last Friday, and so yesterday was wonderful, because I didn't have to go anywhere.

I got up and took a walk, then sat curled up with a book all day long, and enjoyed the rainy weather, and got some laundry done....what a wonderful day.


Tonight Z2 requested we go see the new Harry Potter movie tonight at midnight, since her 15th birthday is tomorrow. So we are heading over to Coeur d'Alene tonight to see the show...my first time going to a midnight movie...hope I can stay awake!!!

Enjoyed having Inland Empire Girl and Raymond Pert around over the weekend. They are both at Camp N-Sid-Sen on Coeur d'Alene Lake at a Writing Retreat this week. They will return again this weekend.

It is nice to have my summer schedule lighten up a bit, and take some time to relax.


A-h-h-h-h-h-h.

Summer is Keeping Me Hoppin'

I haven't been at my computer much this summer, because I'm busy with many things, and when I finally sit down, I'm too tired to get on the computer.



Right now I am directing and acting in the August production "Phantoms of the Melodrama" at the Sixth Street Melodrama theater in Wallace. We practice every night, Sunday through Thursday. Plus I am in charge of the box office and ticket sales for the July show, "Lookout Mullan", and that involves a lot of time as well.



Last weekend PKR's sister Laurie Roberts put on a concert here in Kellogg singing songs from her new CD. I helped a little bit putting that on, plus our family sang in it as well.



And I am actually getting outside to work in the yard this summer, which I absolutely LOVE!!! I love having fresh greens for my salad, and fresh tomatoes and herbs.



Plus, I leave on Saturday for a trip to Washington D.C. I can't believe I get to go again this summer. I have a conference for work. Some of my plans include going to church Sunday at the National Cathedral, going to the Zoo, and going to see "The Imaginary Invalid" performed at the Shakespeare Theater. This is another play by Moliere, who wrote "The Miser", that our whole family performed in last spring. It looks really good.



I'll have my camera again this summer, and post pictures of my trip.Well, better go shower and get ready to meet with a couple ladies from church, then go grocery shopping so the family has food to eat while I am gone.Just wanted you to know I'm still here.
