mom and i went to see KINKY BOOTS last night at the fox theater in st. louis, and i love that show! i’m going to go out and buy myself a pair of tall red boots!
or maybe, a pair of tall red pumps, even better!
they had these funny cardboard standups around for photo opportunities. i think it’s funny that i makes me look like a midget!
what a fun show! plus, cyndi lauper did the music, and she won a tony, the firs tsolo woman to win a tony for writing the music! the music was great, but once again i felt like i surely must be going deaf, because it was so hard to hear things sometimes. but then everybody else around me was complaining of the same thing, so maybe it’s the problem with the fox theater? turn up the sound! but sometimes the instruments were really loud and overpowering, and i really don’t know the problem, but i’m going to go get the CD at the library so i can listen.
soooo good! and fun. plus, i only did a limited amount of coughing, so i think maybe i’ll actually be better someday.
meanwhile, kevin has gotten sick, too, but he’s getting better, and amy is sick, so sickness everywhere. whenever i’ve talked to people, it seems that pretty much everyone is sick.
here’s kevin and sweet lester, pre-sickness.
you can just barely see gus the goose out there eating…we haven’t seen any geese at all for about a week now; they must have decided there are better places, now that the ice and snow is finally gone.
mid-march, a very very chilly day to be out fishing. but a fisherman’s gotta do what a fisherman’s gotta do.
…which is also true for our sweet kitties. see lester stretching out soooo long…..
and here’s PROOF that sometimes, but only sometimes, kevin will actually LEAVE THE HOUSE! with me! we went to a performance of an irish folk group called “dervish,” and we got seats in the second row, and it was really, really entertaining and fun. yaaaaay, getting out of the house!
but this is more kevin’s speed – here, he’s practicing hitting targets in the garage using an air rifle.
chester, who looks so fierce when he’s yawning!
my aunt sandy and her friend robin came to visit, and we visited the farm! i bought many things even though i’d told myself i WOULD NOT BUY MUCH. i just can’t ever help it, because she has so very many fabulous finds. plus the chickens.
les paul, intent upon leaping from one counter to the other.
and then, being an angel.
jim sent me this photo, because he thought that calvin coolidge looked a lot like dad. i see it.
and that’s about it for this sunday morning, and hopefully we’ve seen ALL OF THE TEMPS BELOW FREEZING for the year!
ok ok ok then,
mrs. g.h.
