The Next Phase....

This is the week that 

 Jonah opens.

Sight and Sound employees have been 

looking forward to March 2012

for a very long time.

It literally takes years to build

a new show.

From the writing of the story,

to making miniature models of sets,

creating the costume designs,

hiring the actors,

actors learning the script,

building the sets in full size,

recording music, 

making video to insert into the show, 

special effects that dazzle,

choosing special products for concessions

and so much more.....

It is a long, expensive and complicated process.

Sitting on the sidelines as I do with 

three family members who work there

 I hear a lot. 

I am so impressed by the intensity

and attention to detail that is 

consistent from the beginning to the end.

We are nearing the end....of the production

phase....next phase is the 

performance of a finished show.

Warren has declared this a fun, 

fast moving and very entertaining

production 

with a very real and clear message.

He says there will be no spots in the 

show that are dragged out so that sets

can be moved or for other reasons.

This one just plain moves!

Chelsea and Mom are back to work

for another season.  

Chelsea was so excited to go back.

She has missed her friends and 

co-workers.

Being at home for hours on end

is just so boring to her...lol.

I remember those days.

They are no more for me.

I love being at home now.

One day she will likely feel that way 

again but for now there is a whole 

world out there that is very interesting 

to her.  

In the meantime I've spent a lot

of time with my girl the past 

couple of weeks

knowing that soon she will be 

working five days a week and 

then in just a little over a year she will

be headed to Australia,

if the Lord wills it.

Gulp!

So, I have been doing my best

to treasure our time together.
We've gotten coffee, 

shocking I know!,

and played several rounds of 

Scrabble.

She's beaten me more times 

than I care to share.

The other evening while we played 

the animals decided to get in 

on the fun.

They couldn't figure out why 

we shrieked every time they 

tried to cross the floor to 

get on our laps.

We had to keep putting the 

board back together....

Silly animals.
