In response to a few of you e-mailing me to find out how the dramas went...they went very well. I ended up having to try my hand at writing on some of them. Last minute scheduling changes with certain actors caused 2 re-writes, and our writer was in the hospital. So between the Pastor and myself, we tweaked them. Funny...I was only supposed to direct, but ended up having to be in 3 of the 4! Sigh, guess church drama is like any other church ministry...folks just don't seem to be really committed to it. Hopefully that will change.
The performance space is awesome. The church just finished building on a new "sanctuary" that is really a theater. Huge stage with a full catwalk and fly system, theatrical lighting and inclined audience seating. It was designed like that on purpose, so I hope that means there is a bright future for all kinds of theater there! I'd love to stage some community theater and see what happens!
The school year is off with a bang! I have 2 tutees and 1-1/2 homeschool consulting families (I'm sharing one family with another consultant). I'm also still doing stuff at the Science Museum and I am teaching science 2x per month at a homeschool coop. Whew! Already busy and it's just now October! I'm hoping some of these things will translate into clock hours for my license renewal in 2008...
I will have some more pictures of recent events posted later. I've been so busy adjusting to my suddenly busy life, I haven't been on the blog. Now things are starting to gel so I should be able to go back to posting a few times per month.
The fall is beautiful here! It simply doesn't last long enough. The smells, the trees, the cool, crisp air...AHHH. Today we got outside and enjoyed the sunshine by doing some yard work in preparation for winter. Ethan found a spider. We sat and watched it catch a small gnat. Ethan got so excited he suggested we find more bugs for it to eat. So we went on a safari for isopods. After a few attempts, we got one on the web and the spider responded quickly. It was a show well worth our money and time! Funny how it doesn't bother him at all to see a spider devour another creature, but he seems rather disturbed that T-Rex would eat other dinosaurs, or that animals such as owls eat other animals. Guess it's all in your perspective.
Incidently...all you family and friends who've been "promising" me for years to come and visit... Fall is the PERFECT time! So mark your calendars for Sept-Oct. Of course, summer isn't bad but we can get some hot, sticky days in July and Aug. For those of you looking for a true Minnesota adventure - come in January or February. I promise you will not be bored and you will have a story to tell your grandkids ("I remember when I had to walk through 10 foot of snow uphill both ways...)
