Dinner and a Show

 

Hello! How are you all doing? I'm doing pretty good. There was a peek of sunshine earlier this week and I rushed out of the house to walk. The birds are singing away and early signs of spring evident. 

Mid-week, my husband and I met our daughter-in-law's parents downtown at a restaurant. We had so much fun talking about the kids and grandkids and then not talking about them and talking about everything else. After dinner we walked over to the theater to see My Fair Lady.

I snapped a few photos before the photoing was banned. The production was fun and they did a few things through-out the show to modernize a dated story line, and yet stayed true to the musical. I love seeing the creativity of set designs, mannerisms and costumes. Also the way they changed the set between scenes was very clever.

By the way, the photo of Miss Holly is one I took early in the morning. I never know where she will be sleeping so when she is there on the couch when I come downstairs to make the coffee, seeing her makes me happy and I am grateful she graced me with her presence.

Have a lovely weekend!

    I've heard the birds singing here, too, a couple of mornings but not every day. It encourages my heart though because it means spring IS coming! Miss Holly looks so adorable and comfy there on the couch. I'm glad that you enjoyed the time with your daughter-in-law's parents and the production of My Fair Lady.

    Dinner and a show sounds very nice, especially when it's with your DiL's parents. Here's hoping you have an equally nice weekend!

    I lucked out with a sunny walk today here, too. That sounds like a very fun show; I love the music from it. Glad you had a nice time out.

    Sweet, sweet picture of Holly. No sun here - another grey, damp day...I've lost count!

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
