Little Evelyn's Blessing

We were surprised and delighted to find that as soon as we arrived in NYC baby Evie was blessed. We got to meet David and Jana's friends and that was a rare opportunity since our visit did not include Sunday.

Mother and daughter

The two Evelyns!

Virginia, we finally made it!

Eric and Cindy have a great location and a cute little house. The whole neighborhood is nice and spacious.

Here is a view out a window in their living room that looks out the side. You can tell that Cindy is getting closer. Only a month away until Dec. 22nd!

In this scene from Twelfth Night Olivia (right) declares her love for Cesario/Viola (left). We rented the backdrop and it made a world of difference.

My birthday and the cast of Twelfth Night

Here is the cast of Twelfth Night. We worked hard of two months on this production. It was in a thirties style (except our military uniforms)

Flowers for my birthday. Can't say that I feel different, but I am noticing new wrinkles!

Homecoming, etc.

Here I am outside the gym at the Homecoming dance. It took us over 12 hours to decorate!

Here is the dragon that we used for a background and some of my students dressed for Rock 'n Roll dress up day.

This is our first place door. We had a fog machine behind the door with "smoke" coming out from underneath the door and we played Moussoursky's Night on Bald Mountain, too. Your dad said the judges really liked the drama!

Here is Mrs. Shirley's room with her quote. This is for Kimberly.

This is New Orleans on Canal where I went for a Differentiation Seminar. I posed with Flat Stanley!

The Butchart Gardens in Canada

Entrance to the gardens which are 100 years old.

Part of the Italian Gardens.

The sunken gardens that were once a quarry and the inspiration for the gardens.

Sunken Gardens

Riding on the ferry from Tawassen to Schwartz Bay on Vancouver Island through the Gulf Islands which have nothing to do with a gulf.

Butchart Gardens

The hanging gardens.

Part of the rose garden. This does not do it justice. There are over 6,000 rose bushes.
This is one huge hanging basket!

VHA Seattle trip

Here we are on the Argosy Cruise from Union Lake to the sound through the locks. It was loads of fun.

The Seattle skyline. We are coming into pier 55.

This is as close as I got to the 5th Avenue theater. I took this for Bethany.

In the flower market at Pike's. Can you believe that bouquet is only five dollars? The hotel gave me a vase so that I could have it in our room. I left mine, but Becky Dobbins took hers all the way home to Louisiana on the plane!
