Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain

Is this cool or what? Tuesday, I went with Mrs. Shirley's English classes (someone dropped out) to the Lutcher Theater in Orange, TX (a wonderful facility I'd never been to) and got to see Hal Holbrook's famous Mark Twain one man show. He will be 85 next week and he's been playing Mark Twain since he was in his thirties.



This is the set, three Persian rugs a chair, table, and a lecturn. Stage lights really make a terrific picture.


These are my Valentine flowers from Ted delivered three days early so that I could have them at school.



I'm trying to do a Rosalia here and take a self-portrait. At least Igot most of me in the picture.

Cool! That guy really looks like Mark Twain and it was probably a really cool show :) Also, GO DAD for delivering those Roses early so your students can see what you got from him for Valentines day!!

Love you,
Jessica
