A NIGHT OUT...............................



Last night, my wonderful soul mate and I joined friends to see the opening night of "Wicked"...I had read Gregory Maguire's novel several years ago and had mostly forgotten the main parts of the book.  

But what I did remember was the main character...Elphaba...and that it did happen in the most wonderful place of all....OZ.
It has loose ties to the original Wizard of OZ....but the story line is so original that anyone will be throughly entertained.

If it comes to a theater anywhere near you....I believe it is a must see for anyone who loves live theatre.  

I know in these trying times supporting the arts may seem a little frivolous...but the arts are especially necessary for one's soul during stressful times.

"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual."
Beethoven

Have a beautiful day....

Hugs,

Jo

    Oh Jo Sweetie...
    Does that ever sound like fun. I would love to go and see a live theatre. I haven't ventured yet, but we do have wonderful theatres here in the valley. It is on my bucket list, and once we go, maybe it will be come one of my favs.

    It is so nice to have quiet time and quality time with our better halves.

    Have a gorgeous day sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    My goodness, here I live in the heart of theater country, and I cannot tell you how many years it has been for me since I went to see a show. That's pretty sad.

    I am interested to read the book, and live theater sounds like fun, and not at all frivolous.

    Good for you! Glad you had a fun night out. And you are right about supporting the arts--that is never frivolous.

    Oh, I've been meaning to see this one for a long time! Thanks for the reminder...

    You're so right about the arts nurturing the soul, and it is especially important during stressful times. Even if you can't afford theatre tickets, a stroll through a museum costs little or nothing! Even gazing at a beautiful flower is art appreciation.

    The last live theater presentation I saw was "Menopause". My face hurt for two days because I laughed so hard! I did enter a contest to win tickets to see "Wicked"! Perhaps I will! I love the arts. A good show or a great art show are some of my favorite things to do! Thanks for sharing.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
