Bloggers Invade Sight and Sound Theatre

Oh boy, we really did invade.

With white gift bags for the 

water, sugared almonds and 

an 8 oz candle for each person

in our party.  

The concession employees thought

it was great.  

They were all smiles as Warren

and I piled the bags on their counter

and filled them on the spot.

No, really, they were smiling....lol.

We thought the show was wonderful.

I noticed that it was not the lead actor

playing Joseph and was very impressed 

by his understudy.  When the show was

over we found out that this was neither 

the lead nor the understudy, but a third

in line.  Wow!!!  He did an awesome job!

Now, that is depth of talent.  

Attending were:

Mrs. Rabe of Creekside Cottage was able to make it 

at the last moment!  She is having a very busy week

but things worked out for her.

Lindsay of Girl in Nature who is studying the art of 

training horses with the Parelli method, which is what

Sight and Sound uses.  She enjoyed seeing the many 

horses in the show.

Maurie of Gracious Interiors.  This was our first time

to meet.  Maurie is new to blogging.  I do hope you'll

stop by her beautiful blog and say hello.  It was a pleasure

meeting this wonderful and warm lady. 
I look forward
to getting to know her better.

Grandma Georgia who reads my blog very faithfully.

Poor dear, Warren set it as her home page...so 

every time she starts up her computer...there it is!!

Grandma Phyllis who reads Creekside Cottage, 

Girl in Nature

and Hospitality Lane.  

She's Mom and Grandma to 

the Creekside Cottage Folks 

and has become a very dear friend 

of mine over the past three years.  

She is a very worthy opponent 

in the bowling alley as is her husband, 

whom I used to bowl with every week until 

my neck went kersplat!

Ellen, my friend and neighbor

was able to go with us, as well.

She has been such a 

huge encouragement for me and blogging.

A very faithful reader and 

always one to tell me that it is of 

benefit to her. 

I think that readers who 

know you in person are the scariest.  

They keep you honest.  

You met Ellen's boys in 

this post.

So, that was the group! 

Warren and I were so happy to host!!

I wish we could have taken 

every one who reads here.

The show is phenomenal 

both in artistry and in message.

When it was over 

Mrs. Rabe exclaimed that this was her 

favorite of any 

Sight and Sound Production she has seen.

Of course, you already know 

that I agree one hundred percent!!

We posed for a photo before Maurie had to leave us.

  Warren snapped the photos for us and so

wasn't in them.  

It was nice having him along.

We headed to Applebee's for dinner. 

There were paparazzi on the way!

  But we caught them at their own game....

It was good to have Mom join us.  

She had been working the show

and was done for the day. 

Technically she counts because

she is a reader, as well.  

But we would have let her come

anyway.  We're just nice like that.

((wink))

It took a few minutes for her to find us 

so we had some time

to peruse the menus.  

Mom would have found us sooner but 

she was walking around the wrong restaurant with their 

manager looking for us.  

Poor lady.  

We all howled with laughter at her mistake.  

She laughed, as well.  

We offered to just pack up and head 

over there since she had been 

very excited about their salad bar.... but only in jest,

as we had all put in our order.  

Good thing my Mom has an 

awesome sense of humor. 

I love her, so much!!!!

We crammed eight of us into a space designed for six.

Cozy...would be one word for it.

Poor Ellen was crammed in the corner of our booth.

Maybe that explains the silly look on her face.

Or maybe she is just a whole lot of fun!!!

She wasn't sure she was going to be able to stand on 

her feet when she got out after being so squished.  

But she managed. 

I would just like to mention two other ladies who were 

definitely there in spirit....

Yvonne of Stone Gable ended up having to cancel due

to the need for emergency Oral Surgery.  

I felt so badly for her.

She was in so much pain.  

Hop on over to her amazing

blog and wish her well.  

You can tell her I sent you.

I was looking forward to meeting her.  

We've agreed to try to meet up 

once she is feeling better.

Kelly of Cozy Comforts wanted to come, as well, but 

things are progressing in the adoption of their little one 

and they had an important day with that yesterday.

We are so excited to see how things are working 

out for this adoption.  Their little guy is just so sweet!

If you get to Lancaster County while Joseph is playing

please try to get to see it.  You never know, I might even

get free to come and see it with you!  

With a grateful Heart!
