Dickens A Christmas Story...

 the cast...

 More cast...

The lady in the Christmas Sweater was a real trip...she had ordered tickets on line and somehow her seats were messed up...Barry and I just showed up and waited to see if we could get tickets or not...amazing one of the tickets was a seat beside her...we sang Chirstmas Carols before it began...she sang every song about Jesus with a real flat voice...I wonodered if she really loved Jesus as much as she sang BC boy O boy did she chew out the lady at th ticket counter and the girls leading the sing along...when I sat down she jabbed me very  hard bc I bumped her inthe little theatre seats...I got up and took my coat off...she glared at me...I took a picute of the little gal introducing the play that said no pictures until after the play and she huffed at me...how would I know the rules???  I wonder if the REAL spirit of Christmas was in her heart after the play???

Look at the spread...We had Lacey, Cliff and Joan Stuart..I am sure you are wondering who Joan is???  On Wednesday night a lady asked me where a local restaurant was and how to get there...I asked her if she was here working due to her accent...she told me her story she was suppose to work over the Holiday and then it got called off...I walked to my Jeep and dropped off my groceries then I looked up and ran to her vehicle waving...all I had was a label for a pie I wrote my name and numbers down told her she could enjoy Thanksgiving with my family...I said I am sure you won't come but...please come as I love to share my home an food with others and I knew she was alone there was nothing open in the area for eating...she called Thanksgiving morning ans said if the invitation was still open she was up to coming...she turned out to be the sweetest lady ever...we were so comfortable with her and she loved Lacey's dog even with her jumping etc!!
