A Performance of “Guys and Dolls”, and One of the “Dolls” was Our Granddaughter!

 

  Well, FINALLY, out weather is acting as it should be…warm and 72 degrees today.  Den and I got lots done outside.  I washed windows upstairs and down, got out our birdbath.  Den cleaned out the gutters with the hose and then he rototilled out garden…I planted lettuce,spinach and radishes…so far.  We still have Yukon Gold and Red potatoes to plant, plus some tomato plants and pepper plants.  I also got our cactus out of the basement and hung up the hummer feeders (they had better be  here soon!!) ….But guess who just showed up at our feeders…

I feel like my attitude is much improved with the improved temperatures…Last week, I was dressed like Nanook of the North for our morning walks..Ninja

   Our basement is now dry, and so it Jr. and Jeanette’s.  (This , too, will improve one’s bad attitude!)…Sooooo, all is now well in Casa la Cave ( for the time being).

Yesterday, the Harter Middle School put on a performance of “Guys and Dolls”…Some of you more mature adults might remember the movie, (done in 1955Surprised smile)…starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Vivian Blaine and Frank Sinatra.  Who can forget the classic songs, “Luck Be A Lady Tonight”, Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat, I Love You, A Bushel And A Peck”…and many others…Our granddaughter, Taylor, had a roll as one of the Hot Box Girls, which allowed  her to do some dancing and singing…Did I take pictures? ….Do birds fly??? YOU KNOW I DID!!!

  7. Life is just about perfect for the Cave clan! Taylor did well, looked good, and the whole cast sounded fabulous. We hear that Guys and Dolls is going to be remade soon. Maybe they should come out to listen to Taylor's group so they know how it ought to be done!
