An Update from the Weekend
First of all, the Red Sox were swept by Tampa Bay this weekend, which was a bummer. Hopefully this is not an indication of how the rest of the season is going to go. This past Friday night I went to see Les Miserables at one of the local high schools. I didn’t know what to expect since it was a high school production. Les Mis is my absolute favorite! I had seen it six times previously and know every word by heart. It’s all I can do to keep from singing along when I see a production. But, let me tell you, these kids did an amazing job! It was really phenomenal. In fact, I would venture to day that the Valjean in the production was one of the best I have ever heard!
Saturday was an adventurous day for me. I locked myself out of my house on Saturday morning as I was leaving to go to the gym. So, I used my neighbor’s phone to call someone to let me in, and in the meantime, walked to the gym to get in my workout. Later in the day, I started to make the cake recipe that I posted on Friday, only to realize I had left off how much sugar to put in the cake! My friend Erika found a similar recipe and I went with that measurement and the cake turned out yummy! Thanks for coming to the rescue, Erika. Saturday night, Erika, my dad and I headed out to Panoply Arts Festival and watched the Fiddlers competition. It was a really nice evening and the weather was perfect – a little chilly even, which I love!
So, now you are updated on the weekend activities. Can you believe that May will be here on Thursday? My, how time flies when you get older! One more note to make mention of. My best friend, Jackie ran a half-marathon in Nashville this past weekend and I am really proud of her. She set a goal and accomplished it, which is more than a lot of people do these days. So, congrats, Jackie!
P.S. Don’t forget American Idol is tonight!

Was Les Mis at Lee? Thanks for including me in your blog. I have to say that the half-marathon was one of the hardest things I have ever done and I am not sure that I will ever do it again but I am happy that I did it. I can check it off my bucket list. I will have to call you later and tell you some of the crazy things I saw people doing during the race. It was insane!!! You should give Jeff an extra key he seems trustworthy. Hope you have a great day!

Les Mis was at Huntsville High. I got another key made. I had given the spare to Bill. So, now I've got another one to stash outside for instances like this.

Okay is the Bill you are speaking of you grand-daddy Bill or is this some Bill I have no knowledge of?
