i still like the little bo-peep...

"You've been to something else with fairy tales?"

 

Nope, and you have a misconception there. That character is actually from a nursery rhyme. However, she appeared in a ballet tonight, along with four of her little lambs. I meant to take a photo but I was busy eating ice cream in the back of the auditorium. Leopold's has Vegan Vanilla, made from coconut milk, and it was quite tasty! Very satisfying, too, even on a chilly evening. I've been craving ice cream.

 

"Let me see if I can figure out where you were. Okay, we have Leopold's and ballet that features Little Bo-Peep... oh, I know! You were at Savannah Arts Academy, weren't you?"

Very good! Yes, I was, for their dance program's 5th annual production of "The Nutcracker". Oddly, there were no printed programs, so I have no idea who the dancers were. However, I do believe the young man playing the magical uncle is the same one who was so impressive when I saw it before.

I think that's true for the two who did another favorite sketch in this ballet. Those would be the very strong snake charmer and his tall snake. I guess that makes them graduating seniors, so new folks will be dancing next year. I do wish a printed program, not a QR code, had been available for this show! At least Savannah Children's Theatre made a weblink available for their programless production.

"Oh, my. You'd think if they wanted you to thank the sponsors, they'd provide that. Especially as the dance instructor tonight made sure to ask folks to do that very thing." 

 

Exactly! Without a program, the sponsors get no recognition. She didn't even say their names when she was introducing the show. Even worse, the picture of the QR code didn't even list the website it referenced. I could understand if this had been a free show, but it wasn't.

 

"Perhaps you need to find out beforehand if there will be printed programs. There's no sense in paying to attend if you're not going to have a souvenir for your 'blessings' wall."

 

Um, that's "walls", plural. Remember? This busy, vibrant woman needs multiples, not just one, to handle her social calendar!

 

"LOL! Yes, dear!"

this is how we do it...

We had another emergency meeting at the Two First Posts site, but this time it wasn't just us chickens.

There were five members from Post 500 of the American Legion, our brothers in this venture, as well as five from Post 36.

We had all lost our physical meeting spaces three years ago. 

Plus, we had a guest, Savannah of the construction folks, sitting in to offer any help.

So, what was the rush for this 5 PM meeting?

The USO wants to rent out the ballroom for a Christmas-themed event for about 100 children and Santa. 

We don't even have a building manager yet or any staff!

That's why we'll be meeting again for the next two weeks to at least fill that managerial position with a temporary person.

I'm glad I was there - right place, right time, as per my odometer!

That mileage of 244111 was when I was home from the meeting.

I don't know just what the pattern means, but I like it!

I'd finished up my AMC A*List just before I went to Montgomery Street.

I'd watched "Predator: Badlands" again on Monday, as I'd wanted a laugh.

I even mentioned that to Paul, when I called him for his birthday58.

He had found that to be an odd choice for me until I explained about the poor lonely pants! 

"Eternity", though, is brand-new one and poses an interesting question.

Set in the hereafter, it asked: do you choose life everlasting with the one that got away or with the one you had for several decades?

I'm talking about husbands, with all parties dead at this point.

She had to make a choice between the first one, who died in the Korean War, and the second one, with whom she had 65 years, children, and grandchildren.

I thought it odd that they were all young, like in their twenties.

Only the first husband would have died at that age.

When I left the cinema, I'd stopped over at the southside AutoZone.

Lots of rain is in the forecast and my passenger-side needed help.

When I'd replaced the windshield wiper on the driver's side a year ago, I'd made the choice to leave the other in place.

Well, it's been shredded - and not in a good way - for several months.

I'm thinking I'll go ahead and replace the driver's side, too, as it's starting to show a bit of wear.

Meanwhile, it's time for "Georgie & Mandy" and dinner!

It's been a drizzly day, overcast and gray, so comfort food, please!

That means Mama's salmon stew, amended to Tina's tuna chowder, served in my Donburi bowl from Okinawa. 

So glad I had the oyster crackers on hand, too!
