And now, I must shower and get dressed so that I may usher then work concessions at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

Be back later!

It's later and I'm back!

Well, the first part of the volunteering was boring (as expected).

The Washington Center was open as an art gallery for Olympia's spring Arts Walk event.

My part was just being a presence and making sure no one went into the theater, and answering any questions that patrons might have.

The concessions part of the evening (the FROZEN II preshow) wasn't as boring, but there wasn't a lot of concessions sales where I was stationed.

I'm sure that the main concessions bar did a lot more business, which is fine...it's all one pot o' money.

For the movie preshow event, my friend Lauren was the announcer (she was in costume) and was very engaging to all the kids in the audience.

But Lauren had anyone who was in costume come onstage and show off their costumes.

It was announced that this would be part of the evening, and a lot of kids did come down...and almost as many parents (mostly moms...also in costume).

They all got to show off their costumes and take pictures, then they were all sent back to their seats to get ready for the main event, the FROZEN II Sing-Along!

There were lyrics on the screen for all the songs (of course), and there was a lot of "singing" ::) from the audience, which was fine.

There was no intermission, so when the movie ended, I drove Margo to her home and now I'm at my home. :)

Tomorrow, I'm ushering again, but for the silent movie, Robin Hood, with live organ music accompaniment.

She was constantly staying near the fish market and watching people come to buy fish. She took a leaf that fell from the tree and came to the owner. On the first day, surprised, he took her "money" and gave her a fish. From that day on, every morning she comes with a leaf to "buy" fish.



That is so sweet!

This is "The Little Church around the Corner" at 29th Street between Fifth & Madison Avenue. I attended something there in the 1980s, maybe a rehearsal. It's so beautiful.



That really is!

My downstairs neighbor, Zen, has died. He was about 80, a feisty, independent Filipino man, with whom I was friends. Many years ago I fell on the stairs and not only sprained my ankle, but bruised my left leg all the way to my knee. I couldn’t get up or down the stairs for two months. It was Zen who brought me my mail every day and even did my laundry for two months. (He refused to fold it; he left that to me.) He didn’t drive, so I would do little errands for him at times and, as he grew frail I’d try to keep an eye on him.

My condolences Jeanne.
