BK and I have apparently been watching some of the same Netflix movies lately. I recently viewed MY BEST ENEMY. Excellent. A different sort of WWII drama.

Happy Sunday, all!

BK, I went to see opening night of Damn Yankees, and didn't realize that our own little Kritzer-starlet, Chelsea Emma Franko was playing Gloria the nosey news girl. She was wonderful, as was Cynthia Ferrer. They had a great Joe Hardy and Lola, and lots of talent with great voices. The orchestra sounded wonderful too.

Chelsea said you have to come and see her. (there, I've done her bidding

).

Of course, I still had issue with that one piece of casting. For me, it was the one thing that didn't work. If you're gonna make cast a kid, he better have some gravitas and the ability to scare, and not just being a pest, having tantrums, and lots of schmancy costumes up his sleeve. But hey, that's just me.

Thanks, DRs Jane and Jeanne! Jane, I created my outfit around 2 pieces of Grandma Palmer's jewelry that I wanted to wear to Lauren's wedding - the gold coin around my neck and the opal ring on my right hand. I've had that skirt for more than 10 years and, yes, I also wear it with a green jacket or with a yellow sweater. My wrist "corsage" is ribbon flowers on a beige enamel bracelet that matched perfectly.

Hi Jeanne. Sorry I left before responding.

Back from a going-away par-tay for a woman who has been a revered and indispensable member of the local theater community for at least the couple of decades that I've been around it. Fortunately, she's not going too far away -- she'll be living in the Poconos region of northeastern Pennsylvania -- but we'll miss her frequent participation and always expert assistance.

Jeanne had actually asked about your outfit, which was the only reason I didn't. Your new shoes looked nice with the outfit. I've also worn family jewelry to special family events. You did great coordinating your outfit, but then you seem to have a talent for that.

Will you visit her in the Poconos? On our first trip there I was 8 months pregnant with Craig and we went rafting for the first time. Keith was very nervous about taking me in that condition along with Bryan who was 2 1/2. Fortunately the rapids we went down were nothing.

Oh sure, any number of us will. Driving distance is two hours or less, so not a big deal distance-wise. And she'll be popping back up here for all of our opening nights.

Thank you, all, for the birthday wishes for Mom. I'll pass them along. I spoke with her earlier. Her phone has been ringing off the hook.

Went to see Chef this afternoon. Surprisingly better than I had thought. There's some fun social commentary in there as well as some great supporting performances. Bobby Canavale, Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansen and Robert Downey Jr. were all really effective, even if there parts were tiny.

Sunday afternoon greetings! Oh, dear, it appears that I didn't log off yesterday when we left for the wedding. I may have looked like I was sitting here like so much fish, but I actually was having a grand time. Here we are, well into the reception after almost 8 hours. We look a little wilted because we were tired and it was pretty warm inside the reception venue.

That's a great picture, Ginny!

In addition to walking Bride Lauren down the aisle, Richard was also tapped for the father-daughter dance.

That's a lovely dress!

Skip's (and Ellen's and Tom's) show HERRINGBONE in Philly got a terrific review from Toby Zinman, the critic for the Inquirer, which seems to be the main paper for theater there.

Review: HERRINGBONE
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillystage/266924652.html

POSTED: SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2014, 9:32 AM
By Toby Zinman
For the Inquirer
Flashpoint Theatre does it again: the second show of their summer
season (following their opener, Miz Martha) is a knockout, with Ben
Dibble giving a performance of stunning virtuosity. Herringbone is a
strange and compelling musical by anybody's standards.

Congrats to Skip and Company!

DR GEORGE that restaurant link was very informative and ON THE MONEY.

I know! I printed it out and will leave a copy for my sister and niece...who especially needs it.

Oops, sorry, DR Jeanne - guess I'm more tired than I realized!

DR Jane, I only wore my new shoes, which have a somewhat high wedge heel, for the ceremony and official photos. On the way to the reception I changed into my flat ECCO sandals and wore them the rest of the evening.

I think we HAD a month to month lease DR JANE. I don't now for sure....but it doesn't matter....he won't accept any more rent from my sister, and we are out on the 15th. She doesn't plan to reopen the store anyplace else.

We will all move on.

I'd been meaning to ask, DR Jrand63, and apologies if I should know this, but what kind of a store was it? A wholly independent one selling new books? A franchise? Secondhand books? Other?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #148 on:** July 13, 2014, 03:58:25 PM »

DR Ginny, I love the photos from the wedding. I agree that you and Richard both look great and your outfit looks wonderful. I think it's fabulous you got to help Lauren with her dress. It's very clear that you all are very close and that she thinks the world of you and Richard. So glad you had a wonderful time.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #149 on:** July 13, 2014, 04:05:30 PM »

JRand sorry about World of Wisdom. I just talked to a candy store owner here who is closing this month for similar reasons. It's sad to see independent businesses have to close.
