I have not blogged for a long time. Currently, I am busy with a show and we open April 9. As for all the stuff going on with the government, it really sucks. However, I do feel something needs to be done regarding health care but also education, social security and so on. President Obama is doing what he feels is best. I was never asked if I wanted this health care form. I do not know all the details of it and I feel the president has not really explained it thoroughly so that all Americans can understand it. Personally, there is a higher government that I rely on more and more. Not even the president or any other leader can mess this one up. AMERICA!!!! WAKE UP!!!! Do you not realize what all this stuff is leading to????!!!!!

Last night we went to see RIGHTO GEEVES at Bread and Circus Theatre. Some friends of ours were in it and another friend directed. They did a great job and it was funny. Bob and I are now working on INHERIT THE WIND at LTOB. Also, the director from last nights show asked me to be on stand by for 2 shows-MAJOR BARBARA and BELINDA. I will get the official word soon and I hope I truly get both. Have a great day and remember GOD LOVES YOU!

Harvey closed this past Saurday night at Emerald City Players. Bob and I are now into a week of rehearsal foor Inherit The Wind at Little Theatre Off Broadway. Yes, I did get the role I wanted. Willie is getting bigger and cute as a button. He just needs to catch on to sleeping in.

HARVEY opened last night at Emerald City Players. It is directed by my husband Bob. One of the actresses got sick and I filled in for her. Yes, I had fun doing it but yet I hope she gets better. She got sick while she was at work (she is a teacher). As for tonight, we will see. I did enjoy doing it being sick. Have a great day and remember GOD LOVES YOU!! HE TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING AND SAY YOUR PRAYERS!!

Willie is here! He is adorable but a handful and yes-spoiled rotten already. We had a good night last night as he did not wake up until I got up and then of course he wanted to play. So I got him outside and then we came back in played and fell back asleep on the couch. It is like having a child in the house but we love him and he is ours! Bob had his auditions for HARVEY and he has a great cast. Take care and we will see you soon!

I am so excited!!! Last night LTOB held their annual awards banquet! My husband won an outstanding award for directing "Blithe Spirit" and I won the audience choice award for the show I was in-"The Shirt Off His Back". We are both very thankful and appreciative of receiving these awards. I also won various other awards along with many other people in the theatre. My dear friend Mony also won an audience choice award for "Blithe Spirit". We pick up the new addition to the family next week. I will blog again soon!

We finally found the right puppy for us. He is an adorable red long haired dachshund and will be 100 percent spoiled rotten His name is Willie and will be with us by the end of the month. We are very excited and look forward to having him in our family. Pray for a friend of mine who is having heart trouble. Have a great day-say your prayers and be thankful and appreciative of what you have.

Well, it has been along time since I last blogged. I finished up "The Shirt Off His Back" at Little Theatre Off Broadway. It was a great run and experience with the cast and director. I will be auditioning for "Harvey" at Emerald City Players for the part of "Mrs. Chumley" or "Miss Johnson". A very dear friend of mine passed away of cancer-Stacie Kelts-Here's to Staci-we love and miss you. Have a great 4th of July and remember-God loves us and Peace and Freedom!

Exciting news!!! I got cast in two shows and very thankful!!! I am in the production of "The Shirt Off His Back". I received the part 0f Ethel Henderson. Bread and Circus Theatre had auditions for their whole season. I was planning to go Wednesday April 29th but did not make it to the auditions because I got behind schedule and it just took me for a loop. I called Mony and Howard Carpenter to let them know. Mony said she would give my info to the directors and if they could not fill all the roles in the shows, they may call me. Well, yesterday I recieved a call from one of the directorsand she offered me the role of Clara in the show "Hay Fever". She made my day! I asked if she needed to meet with me and she said it was not necessary. She had talked to Mony and Howard and also, she knows my husband Bob. Needless to say, this was very exciting for me and I do truly thankful to God for this! Have a great day!!

I hope everyone had a good Easter and celebrated it for the true reason for the season. I have auditions coming up and look forward to it. My husband has 2 shows coming up that he will be directing. "Harvey" and "Inherit The Wind". Two great shows! We went to a very dear friends house for dinner and had a great time and great food. It was such a pleasant day and the weather could not have been more ideal. Well, our puppy may not be. It turns out she may not be pregnant after all. The timing was off but the breeder is going to try it again in a couple of weeks and hopefully it will happen this time. She will keep us informed. Well, that's about it for now. Take care and see you soon!

Well, another show is over and more on the way. We had great audiences and the sh0w was fun t0 d0. Oh, I guess it w0uld be good to say the name of the show-"Dearly Departed". It is truly a hilarious show. Auditions are coming up next month so please be thinking of me. A new addition to the family will be here in our home in June. We are getting a new four legged child and will be born toward the end of April. We are getting a male red smooth daschund and his name will be Willie. I will make the announcement as soon as we get the official word. Well, that is it for now. Take care and keep the faith.

Well-the Oscars have come and gone. I thought Hugh Jackman did a great job as host. Congraqts to all the winners! Viola Davis looked lovely along with Heidi Klum, Reese Witherspoon, Amy Adams to name just a few. I like Sarah Jessica Parker but I did not like her gown. Hugh Jackman looked handsom in his tux as well as Daniel Craig among many others. Queen Latifa looked beautiful and I enjoyed the song she sang when they showed pictures of the ones who have passed on. I was glad to see Jerry Lewis receive his award-I have always enjoyed his work and I appreciate what he is doing with MD (Jerry's Kids), I wish him well. Kate Winslet-looked lovely and has a terrific year in store for her. Sean Penn-Congrats! "Slum Dog Millionaire"-Congrats! More movies to come-and yes, I would love to do a movie and stand up there and receive an Oscar. Until next year-have a great day!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

2009-02-22T16:21:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! Welcome to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"! This is one of my favorite songs and I am a fan of Judy Garland. I love movies, theatre and television. I have many favorites and it is like eating Lays potato chips-you can't eat just one. My all time favorite movie is "Casablanca" and I could list a few more. My favorite actors are Harrison Ford, Paul Newman and Humphrey Bogart. Would you believe that I watch WWE and I am related to Jack Bunny? For me to know and you to find out (ha-ha). Have a great day everyone and look forward to hearing from you.
