Summer Work

So Pete and the puppies and I are packing Stan the Van to head west this summer. I will be returning to the Utah Shakespearean Festival where I last worked in 1995. It's a great summer job, I'll be stage managing Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, a show I haven't done yet. Pete will have plenty to photograph and there's a lot of nature for the pups to play in! So we're off! I'll be there from Mid May until the End of August and Pete & the Pups will be with me from late May until he has to go back to work at the Rep in July. So... you'll know where to find us if you find yourselves our west!

In the mean time, I have one more week on tour then we're off to Spring Training. Pete is working on the props for Barney and Bee which opens just after St. Patrick's Day as well as still plugging along at the Rep.

Our superbowl party was again a big hit - we had almost 20 people here enjoying Chili, Queso, Chicken dip, Melissa's veggie pizza, Beatrice's Garlic bread, Jenny's humus and a ton of other snacks.

The commercials in the superbowl were pretty lame, but it was a good game.

The poor puppies were relegated to the bedroom. They eventually came out to play, but Mojo, as usual, was bannished back to the bedroom for taking an unexplained dislike to Alan's partner. Goofy mutt.

The 3-D glasses didn't help much with the commercials, but they made a pretty funny fashion statement!

At the end of the day, a successful, fun night reduced to discarded 3-D glasses and empty beer bottles. Not to mention the quart of chili, chips and cocktail wienies!




























Some catch up from Pete's camera... Here's our exciting new years eve celebration, we played Pete's new Baseball trivia game, Scene it, and paused long enough to count down to the new year with Dick Clark. silly, but we were safely in bed by 1a. I know it was only the second tour stop, but I was glad that Pete and the pups came to join me in Sheboygan. We had a nice time relaxing in the hot tub, the puppies got a rawhide treat and some extra attention from my assistant Cheryl who got back to the hotel too late for the hot tub, but never too late to play with the puppies! The last is just a great picture of Mojo enjoying one of his Christmas presents from Nana and Papa - He's super cute... when he's asleep.
