Day 1057: Seussical Closing Night

Adorable.  Seussical was so sweet, colorful and energetic.  The story had a strong message of harmful bullying, tolerance, and faithfulness.  I hope the kids understood its meaning.  Several performers are so talented,  it's hard to believe they are only in middle school.  The future is very bright.  It's exciting to think what they'll do when they are in the cast of the high school musicals.  Marcus, who played Horton, gave a touching performance.  He'll be the leading man for years to come!  And the girls, wow!

Today, I tackled the food chapter.  It's a bit dull and repetitious, so there's lots to do.  I cut over two hundred words and again did a sweep of "that" and "the".   More work on it tomorrow.

We're very tired because we were startled awake by alarms and phones at 3:30 am.  Steve was called out to a house fire in Silver Creek and was out for a couple hours.  Fortunately, the residents had a smoke alarm that warned them so they were able to get out in time.   The phone was so loud and jarring that my heart leaps into my throat.  I may not go out with him, but I rarely sleep until he's home again.

Taylor, the set designer and Graciela, the choreographer. 

One of the beneficial things about the MS musical is the opportunity it gives high school students to become leaders and gain experience in their chosen fields.

Fabulous eighth graders who have brilliant careers ahead of them!
