I added some pictures from "Broadway Night" in the "Photo" section of the page.  Jessica sang "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar as her solo number.   She tap danced with a group to "Sing, Sing, Sing".  She is in the orange and black up front.  Her jazz group also did a number from "Grease".  She is a "Pink Lady" and is the second from the right when you are looking at the picture. 

 

Another beautiful day here in Alexandria. 

 

 

 

For once, we don't have a thing scheduled for today.   After being so busy with Broadway Night, it's a treat to have some "down time".  The show was a huge success, raising almost $5000 for the choral programs at Hayfield High School.  The kids were great and the show was entertaining.  However, it's nice to have it behind us.

 

Jessica is playing "Nancy" in Hayfield's Spring Musical, "The Boyfriend".  She is off painting signs to publicize the event.  The show is May 10-12.

 

Today, Tom and I are working in the yard.  It's time to get it "tidied up" for spring and summer, now that spring seems to have finally arrived.  We bought some plants and mulch.  It should brighten up the house and yard some.

 

I hope to get some knitting done, but that's still up in the air.  I really want to finish this sweater.  However, the yard needs to be dealt with.  First things first.

 

Tonight feels like a "glass of wine on the deck" night.  We have so few really nice days that you just have to take advantage of them.  Maybe we'll listen to the O's or Nats on the radio. 

 

Not much else to add.

Wow.  It's been over a month since I added to my blog.  A lot has happened.  I won the basketball pool to the tune of $500!  That will either buy some wool or summer shoes!! 

 

I finished the Iro Sweater.  Pictures are included on this blog.  I love it but now it's too warm to wear it!

 

I put the Mavis Sweater "on hold".  I've finished the back and half of the front, but I wanted to work on spring/summer weight projects so I can wear them now!  I was too sick to knit for 3 weeks with a horrible cold like thing so that put a crimp on finishing the Mavis.  I'll get back to it.  It's beautiful!

 

I started making a top out of Manos del Uruguay Cotton Stria.  I want to finish it this weekend so I can wear it.  I have no real plans so I can get some serious knitting done.

 

Last week, Kim, one of my knitting pals, showed me some Rowan Bamboo tape, which I immediately fell in love with.  I'm going to make the Sakura Pattern (see photo below).  I want to make myself finish the cottom stria top before I start the bamboo tape sweater but.......

 

We shall see!
