Here we are again, at the beginning of another Christmas period and I feel compelled to look back over the year that has been…. To me, there is just something about the Christmas period that signifies the ‘close’ of an era.
I’m humbled by all that my wonderful children have achieved this year – both academically and personally, and I’m enriched by the friends in my life who have helped us through the past year.
To my Kids – I love to brag about you! [Read more…]
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
I have reached my 40th Birthday. After many years of joking that I had been undergoing 40’s counselling, the big day came….. and went! Surprise, surprise, it was just like any other day and I don’t feel any different today!
Of course, the ‘big party’ is this weekend, so maybe I’ll feel a little different next Sunday!
What was really nice was all the wonderful Birthday wishes I received – thank you to everyone who sent me a Birthday wish or thought. My Facebook Wall has never been so busy!
My parents and hubbie took me out for Dinner and a Show. There’s a running joke in our house, that Dinner and a Show means takeway and a drive-in movie (for those of us who are old enough to remember what a drive-in is). The joke comes from my Dad asking Mum out, when they were ‘courting’, to a dinner and show – he bought her fish and chips and went to a movie!
However, Dinner and a Show this time really was Dinner and a Show – The Patsy Cline Review show starring Barbara Thompson. Barbara is a very talented lady and her voice totally floored me. Her partner, Mark Day, is equally as a talented and did a memorable job of Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers (among others). The costumes Barbara wore were stunning as well. Altogether, it was a well put together show and highly entertaining. I really enjoyed it.
Of course, at the end of the show, Mark and Barbara met the Patrons – very down to earth and amusing couple! If you get the chance to see these two live, it’s worthwhile – visit Barabara Thompon’s and Mark Day’s website to see where they will be.
