So much to do, so little time...

Thought I had a few minutes, thought wrong, but I'll be back!

9:00 P.M.
I have returned. I do a little accounting work from home, assisting a C.P.A.. It's tax time and the work is coming in by the bushel! Believe me when I say I'm not complaining. The only issue for me right now is learning to budget my time well enough to excel in all the facets of my life. In a couple of weeks, I'm sure they will all become a very comfortable routine, but in the meantime, yikes!

As a college coed, it won't surprise you to hear that I have three grandchildren. (Pun intended) One of them, my older grandson, Scott , is starring in a junior high school production of Guys and Dolls this weekend. He has the part Frank Sinatra played in the movie. Last year, he surprised me by appearing in his first stage production, Oklahoma. I went to see the show with the same trepidation I go to all my grandchildren's concerts and/or recitals. These are never things you walk out of saying, "My God, that was great! I wish they were booked for another six months so I could see it again and again!! Once is really quite, if not more than, enough. Every once in a while , though, you find a jewel. Scott played the father of Ado Annie and had a major song and dance part. Wow! He looked, acted, sang and danced as though he were born to the stage. I was popping my Grandma buttons! (Of course, the fact that the only other member of his family that has performed in local theater is writing this piece has nothing to do with the popping buttons...) Sincerely, though, he was terrific. So I'm really looking forward, actually looking forward to this Friday night when he opens as Nathan Detroit. I'm sure he'll be great and I'll wish they were booked for another six months so I could go see it again and again!!
