a Break in the Action

I'm happy to have a few days off from the theatre. I love being there, but I was getting so tired! Our appoximate schedule, from last Tuesday through Saturday was noon (or 1 pm) until 11 pm with an hour and a half off for dinner. Sunday was easier with just a matinee. I actually was able to attend worship twice yesterday! :-)

Today is filled with house cleaning. Not only does it desparately need to be cleaned, but we're on the real estate agents' caravan tomorrow. This is an open house of sorts for the agents to come by and check things out so they can be aware of what's on the market. We had everything in such good order two weeks ago for our Sunday open house. But seeing as how I've been at the theatre nearly every moment since........

Music Man

Well, the play is well underway. We have 3 performances under our belt with 9 to go. It has been SOOO fun! I've made some great new friends and become better friends with some others. There's just something about being at the theatre that gives me energy! Of course that also means that it takes me some time to wind down when I get home at night, so here I am typing at 11:40 pm. I really need to remember to take my camera so I can get some pictures.

Jenna has been making cookies for the cast since she's been feeling a little left out. She went and hung out in the basement tonight. She leaves for Harding's Summer Honor Choir program on Sunday.

Dad's home

Dad arrived home yesterday after being on a 6 week cycling trip. He and 3 other guys, started in Hartford Ill, and basically travelled the Lewis and Clark Trail. The trip was cut short as the riding conditions in Montana were a little scary. They had some close calls with drivers that didn't move over. The shoulder was narrow and they were being sucked onto the highway by the wind currents of the traffic. They had a great time and I believe it has satisfied Dad's drive for adventure for a while. We had a surprise welcome home party for him last night. About 40 people from church came. My kids were especially glad to see him.

Our real estate agent held an open house on Sunday. We had 9 groups come through. Our agent said it's not unusual to only have 2 groups! We are hopeful that at least one of them is truly interested. So we pray for God's will, and wait.
