Well, I have been waiting for this day all week--maybe even longer! It is cold and sunny--31 degrees, frost on the grass.

Yesterday was a good day at work for the most part, although I can'r remember what I did for the most part. I came home for lunch, which, although short, seems to invigorate me. Ray slept in a little and dropped me off after lunch and picked me up again after 3.

At home, I made supper and we headed back downtown for the play. It went quite well--I would say our Act I scene went better, but our Act II scene not as well. The people are nice and sometimes I encourage the children and sometimes I hold the dog. In between, I play Scrabble with Amelia on my iPhone or show off my pictures or check my email.

When we got home, we didn't have to go right to bed because it was Friday, so we watched TV and ate ice cream.

Ray is still asleep; the Captain and Vanessa are up...and she is making scrambled eggs. Today is so busy that we are going to miss the cast party from 2-5 in Watkinsville. Pilates, farmers market, grocery shopping, maybe some yard work--I have a few strawberries Nancy H. gave me that I need to plant, and other fall jobs to do. The  house needs to be cleaned and food must be prepared for our Turkish friends who are coming at 5. Vildan is leaving on Tuesday and we didn't realize it would be so soon. This is the only night we can do it. So much for my day of rest. But we get an extra hour today and can sleep late again tomorrow. I don't think they will stay very late any way.
