Michael, waking up every morning to the smells of apple cider and mill donuts was heavenly.  Even after I could not eat one more of those delicious, yet greasy, donuts I would indulged in baked goods at home.

 

[Freddie]

I had 10 1/2 hours of sleep last night.  They were much needed after yesterday's exhausting pace of spring cleaning.  Miles to go, too. 

I cleaned out kitchen cabinets (a couple) that had many things long expired.  Stuff my mom bought. Some from before I retired.  One item expired in 2004.  It was in the back of a cabinet, and I'm sure my mom forgot it was there.

It's not the throwing away that bothers me.  It's the hauling things out to the trash that exhaust me.

When we've done that, having cleared the extra space feels good long after the exhaustion of throwing the stuff out. 

[Jane]

Feel better vibes for Richard, and stay well vibes for DR Ginny!

When Craig was living with us in Ashland he went through all of our cabinets and dumped stuff we must have moved from Michigan to California, and then to Oregon.  He reduced our liquer cabinet to a quater of the original size.  We had a lot of liquer from when we entertained from Keith's work that we never drank and was too old since it had been opened.

[Jane]

DR MichaelG which suburbs did you live in?  We lived in Bloomfield Township twice, the first time behind the Franklin Cider Mill, returning after a year in Conneticut to live off of Lone Pine between Lahser & Telegraph.

Who knew there were all these Detroit folks here? DR Jane, we lived in Southfield when I was born and moved to Huntington Woods when I was 4. Always loved the Franklin Cider Mill!

We lived - in Detroit - just west of the Southfield Freeway, between Joy Road and West Chicago.  We also loved the Franklin Cider Mill, but after my parents moved to Northville when I was in college, we discovered Parmenter’s.

Even though you weren't that far away from where we were, I don't think I ever went to Northville or the cider mill.  I can't be sure as I took many day trips with friends and don't remember the names of everywhere we went.

[Ginny]

DR Jane, I had a love/hate relationship with Northville.  It was my parents’ home for 15 years, but I only lived there during college summers when I would rather have been in Ann Arbor.  And after 4 years I left SE Michigan for SW Ohio - almost 51 years ago.

I can't recall ever going to Northville, though we would drive nearby sometimes on 275.

A San Antonio film commission event for VIVA MAX! was six years ago today, which was about the movie but we were honored to have the demo of our musical version included there that day.

We were thrilled that John G was there that evening, and had even posted about it.  John G's post from April 7  2018 was the Facebook memory that came up today.

This is what I posted on Facebook.  I hope this link works.

I remember seeing a special.production in NYC, at the Actors Theatre , if I remember rightly.

It was a wonderful show with a beautiful score!

So you're a U of M alum? My sister and stepmother both went there.

[vixmom]

Spent the night in Vancouver after we saw Hairspray. Took Edna Turnblad out to dinner before the show and I met him afterwards and he dished on the production. The kids enjoyed their major theatre experience. A fun time for all.

That sounds like a wonderfully fun way to spend the Day! Im.glad the little 'uns enjoyed it as well!

We have lived in ten homes, eight states.  Our boys think of Michigan as home since they spent most of their school years there.

I've lived in 5 homes...in 2 hamlets with the same township

[vixmom]

In fact I live 11 miles from where I was born

[vixmom]

I should get out more

Oh, my, 275 wasn’t completed until after I moved away.  I feel old.

That is a very clever touch DR GEORGE.

Thanks, Jrand.

It was a wonderful show with a beautiful score!

That night in San Antonio was COLD!!!! And to sit outside and watch a movie was a challenge. Alcohol afterwards helped.

Yes, that was in Jan. 2018, a 90-minute version of the show through Theater Resources Unlimited at the Actors Temple, which was directed by Evan Pappas.

And you also came to Skip's concert at 54 Below Feb. 2018, which included songs from VIVA MAX. 

Many many thanks for your support, vixmom!

The first half of 2018 had quite a few wonderful memories relating to HHW.  A few months later in June 2018, George, Jane and Keith, and TCB came to the Redmond, Washington production of THE LAST STARFIGHTER, and we had a Pacific Northwest gathering.   

[Freddie]

Jane and Keith were also wonderful enough to drive me to the Seattle airport.

[Freddie]

And George (with TCB) drove me from the hotel to the theater and back again after the show.
