Thanks, Tricia! Getting ready to start rehearsals for another show. Keeping my fingers crossed I don't do anything dumb. Happy anxiety! Happy New Year! xoxo
Jan, what a wonderful story to share with us all. Sending you wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. As the Beatles said “ Love is all you need.” Sending lots of it your way.
Thanks so much, Barbara!!! Have been working on pre-production tasks for another show I am directing in February. Rehearsals begin next week so I can use all the LOVE you sent. ha ha! Thanks for reading my blog. xoxo
Today I’ll celebrate the glad tears I shed upon reading your description celebrating the life of a woman I loved also, and the incredible circumstances surrounding all the V’s at this performance! Thank you for sharing!
Ever since my two great nephews and one great niece grew up, I have missed those elbows and knees jabbing at me like little machete knives as they climbed all over me. I longed to feel those again. On Christmas day, my great niece said she will deliver me a new life to hold. If God leaves me here, I'll once again have elbows and knees jabbing me as she/he climbs once again!
Thanks for the memories Jan! I’ll always remember this show fondly, most importantly because of the tribute to Vanessa. She was there with us the entire way❤️!
Dearest Jan ! You are a beautiful friend to Vanessa ! Doing something this great in her memory!! Really I feel like you did it for her !! Thanks for sharing this with us!! Love and prayers to you!!❤️🙏
Jan what a wonderful story ❤️I’m sure Vanessa was there applauding 👏your hands
look horrific.How long did they take too heal ? Always love to read your blog. I’m celebrating my sister coming out too join me here on the island tomorrow ,lovely surprise Happy Healthy NewYear 🙏❤️
Thanks, Lynn! I think V was there too! Have a great time with your sister. Happy New Year! xoxo PS It took about 6 weeks for my hands to heal -- then therapy to re-educate some nerve endings.
Tonya -- Stoney & Dean had so much fun working on this together. I have to admit I gave them a huge task building that castle. They rose to the occasion & there's never been another set that grand at the theatre. I'm thrilled knowing you enjoy my posts. Love ya! xoxo
