Hmm. Well, there's just too much to try to break it all down and blog it. Been far too long. I've posted some pictures but I'm not going to take the time to put them all in order by date and event so they're just all scrambled up lol. Basically, in a nutshell, this is what has happened:
Late May I was contacted by a local theatre director to do a "little piano work" over the summer for a couple of musicals. I said yes. And haven't stopped YET. I'm on my third musical with them now, but this is absolutely the LAST one. Until next May. I've gotta do my own musical in March - "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Get ready to join in on my obsession with that one. lol.
So. Other than theatre, we had a huge tree fall on our house. Actually it was a limb from a huge tree but the limb itself was as big as an average size tree. Landed on the house and on both vehicles. This happened July 29. The house JUST got finished last week. Insurance companies and mortgage companies have been a PAIN to deal with. My car was totalled but we bought it back and Donnie just brought it back to us from fixing it yesterday. Good as new almost. I think from here I'll just "narrate" along with the photos. Even though they are out of order.
Tyler graduated! Yay Tyler! He is going to the local branch of Hinds Community College to get some core classes out of the way. He's doing really well there and studying his butt off. Once our car situation gets fixed he is going to find a part time job!
This musical was called "Always Patsy Cline" and was in July. I'm quite positive that everyone of you reading this would have loved this one, and some of you did come see it. It was the life story of Patsy Cline told through her music. We are doing it again next fall some time.
This is a current musical that we are performing right now. Rusty wasn't happy just playing guitar this time, he wanted to try his hand at acting! So he got the part of "Riff Raff" in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. He's doing a terrific job, and totally loving being an actor. We may have created a monster. hahaha
This is my car as it looks now, just got it back yesterday. Now we just have to get the title "untotalled" so we can drive it legally. Great body work Donnie!
This is a cast photo from "Chicago", a musical we did in August. Rusty and I are in there somewhere. Not one of my favorite musicals, and not easy to play. Was glad when this one was finished lol. But it went well.
I've been car shopping and THIS is what I want. I'm going to get it around January I think. It's a Nissan Altima with a sunroof.
Another Chicago picture.
Photo from Chicago, me in the background playing the piano that the girl is sitting on lol.
Rusty's truck got a lot of damage up front, but it was fixed. And pretty fast too.
Another Chicago pic.
This is where the tree hit!
Trying to patch up some holes while waiting on insurance money.
This is the tree, and you can see where the limb separated and how big it is.
Damage from the inside.
My car, under the tree. haha
My totalled out Corolla :(
Howdy, pardner! Rusty dressed up to play in the Patsy Cline musical. Perhaps the only time we will ever see him in a cowboy hat!!!
My poor house.
Right before the tree fell, we put up an above ground pool and it was so nice. Til the tree fell and all of our time went into handling that and going back to work. The pool fell by the wayside.
