Pete's show!
















I finally got a chance to see Pete's show Faith Healer last week before I went back out on the road. It was wonderful! A little long, but very very good. These are some pictures of Pete's props, he did a wonderful job.

In the upper Left hand corner - a full set picture. Upper right is a banner that he made.

Above Left is Graces room, chair, table etc. Pete created the label on the whiskey bottle.

Left Center - is one of seven chairs that Pete stripped and re-finished. They are beautiful and were a big hit with the cast.

Lower left is a cabinet that Pete bought pre-fab, put it together, stripped and re-finished it to match the rest of the furniture. You can't really see it, but Pete built the table right of the arm chair.

Winter Fun

I think Patty in particular will like this post - After our 11.5 inches of snow last week, we're supposed to get up to another foot this week. At least someone loves it - these puppies LOVE to bound around in the snow, no matter how deep it is.




















Do you love Puja's new sweater? She's such a princess and so cute in it! Mojo is very handsome in his too.









I didn't throw them in the snow, they chased each other there. Jay said they look like snow sharks and I think he's right. I love that after Puja headed back to the porch Mojo just sat there covered in snow and watched the flakes fall on his face. Speaking of flakes!! Now they're sitting here in the living room looking longingly out the window. I suspect much as I don't want to, I'm going to have to suit up and take them for another romp.

interesting things - organically!

This is my Horoscope for today:

Libra (9/23-10/22)
Sometimes, it's easier to have fun when you are not trying so hard to have fun. In other words: Relax! If you're bored, don't put too much effort into planning something that will entertain you. Instead, why not just go outside and walk around for a while? Engage with the world, and soon enough, interesting things will come your way, organically. You don't have to plan everything -- you just have to put yourself in situations where something special is likely to occur.

Madison is 63 miles from Milwaukee, Ladysmith is 302 miles. Ladysmith was our goal today, but Milwaukee got 11.5 inches of snow and Madison, more than 13 inches. So we are currently stranded in Madison after driving for 2 1/2 hours to get here!

I don't think going outside and walking around for a while will help.

I'm not sure how much more organic interest I can take!

Check my tour blog for pictures of what I found on my walk! www.mrtguysontour.blogspot.com

We're calling this the Car comb over!

Pete's show!

Pete's play opened Friday night at Next Act theater. This is a play where he designed the props, he did this play in addition to his full time purchasing job at the Rep. I saw the props in tech and he did a beautiful job. Both of us are going to see the play next week when I have a night off from the tour when there is a performance of Faith Healer. It looks to be a great show!!
