Larry, Cary (Grant) and Gene (Kelley)

Yesterday, Larry and I went to church, walked 2 miles at Willow Bend Mall because it was raining and then came home to prepare Sunday, dinner and a movie.

The rain yesterday was frightening. I felt overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of it. The street in front of the house was a river and it moved very fast. I cannot imagine driving in it at all.

Larry helped me with Sunday dinner. We had Kaua’i Chicken and Rice Casserole (recipe from Lihue Kauai friend). Salad. Home made rolls. We were to have fruit parfaits for dessert but we had pigged out on dinner and were stuffed…..and are saving them for tonight or tomorrow. We watched TWO movies yesterday. I think that Larry planned it so that between the wine and the movies, I was distracted. (What a GUY!) We watched Bringing Up Baby (Cary Grant!) and An American In Paris.(Gene Kelley!)

While getting things ready for dinner…the rain got even harder, if that was possible. Larry took the photo below.

I was tense. The magnitude of the storm was frightening. But…we ate our dinner and watched our movies.

I did not take a picture of the entire table yesterday. I think that the weather creeped me out. But the table looked sweet. While Larry and I enjoyed our meal and we prayed that the storms would not hurt anyone or damage any property.

Yesterdays dinner and movie, was somehow different to me. Not just because of the weather but something else. So much is happening in our world, being unsettled is quite normal now, isn’t it?

Love you beyond the moon.

Larry and I sat in the second row….holding hands.

Kristin complimented us on being in love like her parents are.

Little did she know how much being there on Saturday meant to us

or that she sang “our song”

or that our 7 year old Granddaughter Matilda

had told me before the concert that she was jealous because

we were getting to see Glinda in person.

{Kristin was the original Glinda in the Broadway play WICKED…..

one of my favorite of all time plays. {along with Camelot}}

Below: Personal Message

Dear Kristin,

Oh, how we enjoyed your performance on Saturday night with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.  Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us…and noticing how you touched us in the audience.

Our granddaughter was about 4 years old and learned the word LOATHING because her favorite song in WICKED is, What Is This Feeling?…now she pantomimes the song to perfection.

Larry and I thank you for the kind words,

we wish you only amazing moments,

and

thank you for sharing the joy of ART with

young ARTists in the area.

You are wonderful.

Merci Kristin d’avoir apporte tant de joie.

Love you.

Me.
