spring forward
Between losing an hour of sleep, it still being dark out, and the sound of rain on the roof, it was hard to drag my weary bones out of bed this morning. I can’t say I’ve been a ball of fire, but I keep plugging along and things do get crossed of the list. Slowly but surely.
The Fine Linen Drama production of “Oliver!” was superb. FLD is made up of several home schooling (large) families and members of the Rolla community. Every spring they do a big production with lots of kids (which is handy for them).
Opening scene with the orphans singing longly about having enough food to eat. No photography was allowed, so I got this from their home page. 
The redhead in the deep red dress is one of RMS upstanding teachers, playing the part of Nancy. Not “type casting” at all. A community member, Dan Goff, who usually plays humorous and heroic characters, also stepped outside his usual roles, making a very frightening Bill Sikes. We had 13 bean soup, seasoned with polish kielbasa, and cornbread for supper tonight. A little bit of sunshine is peaking through the clouds, just before the sun goes down.
