  • Gearing up for Company

    Having friends over for some Mexican Train tonight.  Which is also good groundwork for upcoming 4th of July. 

    Yesterday was a busy day.  Lots of commitments.  Had to get the license plates on the van renewed.  All the ducks were in a row, just had to drive to Rolla, deal with the DMV, and then put the new stickers on the plates.  Bought some fresh vegetables at Kroger.  I hope to get up early Saturday and check out the St. James farmer's market.  I haven't been yet this year.

    I volunteered at the library from 3-5 PM.  Overall, it wasn't busy, but the people seemed to come in spurts rather than a steady pace. 

    We had supper at Colton's.  I had their grilled shrimp.  I've had it before and it's always been good.  Then we saw "Peter Pan".  Since it was an Ozark Actor's Theatre summer production, they brought in a professional to play the role of Peter Pan.  She was very good; but our local talent was up for the challenge. The actor who played the crocodile was very good...He played the part in a humorous (but still deadly) manner. Peter Pan & Tinkerbell.

    Wendy with "Nana".  The same actor played Nana & the crocodile.  Several other members of the cast had dual roles...one in England and one in Neverland.

    I had a good chat with Hannah last night.  She found (at a thrift store) an old pattern to make "MC HAMMER" type pants.  She was sewing them as we talked.  She sent a photo via cell phone, but I hope she posts better ones on Facebook.  She's convinced these pants will make a come-back and she is just ahead of the curve.  Personally I put these pants right up there with the mullet hairstyle for bad ideas.
