Peter Pan

Wednesday Night we were treated as "Senior Citzens" to free turkey dinner and performance of this play at Weber High School. What a great night. Our favorite "Indian" was of course our granddaughter Megan. :o) This scene was particularly impressive as a LOT of practise went into the timing.



This scene also took a lot of coordinating with singing and choreography. There were 30 Indians, 31 Lost "Boys", and 31 Pirates. A LOT of running up and down stairs in the auditorium which these youth took as if they were mountain goats. A lot of energy was expended and a grand time was our experience. What facilities the schools have to work with and what opportunities the youth receive in their educational years. We were really proud of Megan her performance was outstanding. She stayed in character and with having the red on her costume we were able to keep track of her. Granpa said he was able to keep track of her because she was the most beautiful Indian, nevermind Indian, THE most beautiful girl on stage.

Attitude of Gratitude

Tis the season of Thanksgiving and gratitude here is an ongoing list of my gratitudes.


1. Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.


2. My Alan. I figure if I put the Lord first everything else will fall into place, and it does.


3. My Family. From Lesley my first born to Mason the last born, and Jessica our newest family member and Avery whom we are anticipating. You are all included.


48. That number came up real fast.



The rest is not in any order, how do you decide an order?





A warm comfortable home


Good health


Good health of my family and their prosperity


Good friends and neighbors


Sleep. Do you ever think how blessed we are to be able to lay down at night and rest.


Hot water. ahhhhh.


Central heating, being warm all over at the same time. :o)


Sunshine and blue skies


Rain


Being able to read


Being able to drive


Being loved



Being able to serve

As I say it is ongoing

A Moment in Life

I love to read cartoons. Some I don't bother with but "Pickles" is one of my favorites. It is like watching our lives in print. (scary)



I usually check on "Drabble", I think you will agree this is appropiate.
