A long time...

I haven't been on here for quite some time as I've been pretty busy in my fairly new job of six months. I am currently working for a small regional theater as their Director of Education. I just completed three weeks of Summer Kids Camp where we rehearsed and eventually performed Seussical Jr. with twenty-two amazingly talented young performers! I had an amazing team of people to make this happen and can't wait to work with them again.

So, life lately....hmmm, where do I begin. It's been a whirlwind of job, mother, children, dogs and cats and wedding. Erin is getting married next month and the festivities have already begun! We went to Brooklyn mid-July to assist Megan in throwing a fabulous shower for Erin at her apartment. It was a lovely day and she received many wonderful gifts. It was a quick trip but enjoyable. Now we are preparing for a shower here in Chicago. Another crazy, wacky weekend of family and friends. I'm a lucky woman.

Last week we had a very sad thing happen to our family. My grand-dog Hudson went to visit my Dad in heaven. It happened on the same day that my father passed away which made it even harder. Megan and Chris left the city and the state to grieve and get away from the house where Hudson ruled. I will miss our boy very much, but we all know that he'll have more fun with Snickers and Chloe and Patches and Taffy and Grandpa in heaven. Even typing this I'm having a hard time keeping it together.

Well, I best end for now - I have to attempt to draw a turtle for a meeting tomorrow!
