Junie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The Sound of Music Live was a lot of fun. I particularly liked the characters of Max and Elsa -- although I never liked them before. Captain VonTrapp was also particularly good. This production was different from the famous movie version -- it was much more like the stage production. My high school put on The Sound of Music my sophomore year and I fell in love with it. (And memorized it! That kind of happens when you spend 10+ hours at rehearsals each week for 10 weeks.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Good Morning! Happy Sunday! I got to sleep at a decentish hour last night (1:30) and I slept pretty well.

Wheres Toto Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Morning. I went to bed at a semi-decent hour and got up super early. I've been up for about an hour and I still have 45 minutes before my alarm goes off. I really feel much better rested when I wake up without the alarm so I should work on doing that more often. Our ring doorbell went off at 3am and there was some funky white flapping thing. Dh thinks it was garbage and we had a bear visit. I'm afraid to look outside but will have to do it soon. Meeting dd to workout and laundry are on today's agenda. Dh is coming home today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Went outside to water the garden and check on the garbage and, it looks like no bear visited because there is no garbage all over the place. Dd's tai kwan do is starting outdoor classes this week. It sounds great but I'm still torn on whether she should do them or not. One, it's summer and hot and we've been having air quality warnings plus late afternoon thunderstorms which is just when she'd be in class. Two, they are doing the classes in the parking lot and grassy area in front of their building. Which is on a highway that sees major traffic during rush hour. Which is the time the classes are scheduled. My main concern with both of these issues is dd has asthma. Mainly exercise induced but does seem to have an allergy component. I feel bad that she's taking such a long break from training but I also don't want to set her up for having to leave class early like she had to do with Zoom. But, on the other hand I don't know if we'll ever get back to actual indoor, in real life classes so this may mean she no longer does TKD. Although, I don't know what they'll do in winter in that case. I think I'd prefer indoor classes with the air conditioning but wearing masks. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 We were supposed to be back at church for the first time today--they split the congregation into three groups and assigned each a different service time so people could be spread out, encouraged mask wearing, planned a shortened service, and recommended anyone in a higher risk group stay home. Then they cancelled the plan to resume services entirely two days ago because of increasing case numbers. So we're doing home church again this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 We are back from the Big City. The restaurant had magicians and a ghost pianist who took requests. The kids had the most fun with this - they would request something ("Thurston, play You'll Be Back from Hamilton") and if he knew the song he's play a couple high notes and then start. If he couldn't play the song, he'd smash a couple low notes. Sometimes he'd play something similar or another song by the same artist. He even played a D scale.

Junie Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 My girls had never had cherry pie because A) I don't make pie and B) most store-bought cherry pie contains Red #40 (which two of the girls are allergic to). Once upon a time, my father-in-law (who was in his mid-80s at the time) decided that cherry pie should not be missed. He went out to his cherry tree, picked cherries, made pie filling (without dye) and made a cherry pie for them. I almost cried. It was such a sweet gift. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
