Thank you DR JOHN G.....if folks like sets they will like the show....if they are looking for dancing or acting (from everyone) they prolly should have stood in bed.

I saw Danny La Rue do HELLO, DOLLY! in London with Lionel Jeffries as Horace.

Concerto.   Braunfels, or Pfitzner?

DR ELMORE when Brian the photographer from Thursday posts his photos, I'll add some.

Here's our set all lit up.



I'm impressed!

Starting to watch The Return of the Musketeers, Richard Lester's attempt to film 20 Years Later and with the same brio he brought to his Three Musketeers films. The start is good, but too many actors are dubbed, and not well.

The reviews for In the Heights are across the board, but even the critics who found holes in the plot still found it fun and an eyeful.

Thanks everyone!  If only some of the rest of the show was up to it....I shall say no more.

My responsibility does not include the things I am not happy with.

We welcome our new minister tomorrow. I will be baking several things for the celebration coffee hour from my new cookbook. Procrastibaking: 100 Recipes for Getting Nothing Done in the Most Delicious Way Possible.

It sounds like a fun cookbook.

If I am looking out my rear window, I see a house that is on the market for $199,900.

Out my front window is a house - the moved out yesterday - selling for $119,000.  After they left, I saw White Kitty wandering around, but I haven't seen her today.  I am hoping they came back for her last night.

And they are very similar houses.

Oh no.  I hope they returned for her.

At the gym today I hesitantly took off my mask.  It is very warm up on top floor where the treadmills are.  It wasn't too crowded.

Had a Gelson's chicken Caesar for food - very good - a bit smaller than usual, which is fine.

Listening to Gounod's Faust, which I'm really enjoying - a great recording with a great cast in great 1958 stereo. I haven't listened to an opera recording in over six weeks, so it's fun to hear one again and I want to hear some more of Gounod's operas.

At one point in time, I was supposed to have seen Giorgio Tozzi in a production of that. It was playing in Cincinnati. But the trip never came to be.

Making my second soup of the day: Butternut Squash and Gremolata. I won't really eat it until tomorrow. I need to figure out something as a low-carb crouton substitute.

Earlier, I made Savoy Cabbage and Chestnut, which was quite good and will be better tomorrow.

That leaves 10 recipes left in the book. One is a fruit soup that I might make tomorrow. It's the only sweet or dessert soup recipe in the book. I'll make it with raspberries, blueberries and strawberries because I can never find fresh red and black currants, which it calls for.

Saturday evening greetings!  I was up early today to deliver several boxes of odds and ends to the site of AAUW’s June garage sale.

I'm taking a tray of Kahlua brownies, which are just finishing up in the oven. The house smells heavenly.

That sounds delicious!

TOD - I signed up to work 2 shifts at the AAUW garage sale next month.  They had a couple of fundraising events last fall but I elected not to participate in person.

Well, White Kitty has been abandoned - again.  She lived with the former owners who moved away years ago....but the people who bought the house kept her.

Jennifer who lives next to the house fed her and gave her water today.  She said that she has several folks who are ready to give White Kitty a new loving home.....so it will be okay.
