Post from Saturday, October 28th
"We're home from taking Sharon to the airport. She must be 'in the air' as we speak. What a wonderful week! It's hard to imagine that we had never met before, and only talked on the telephone once before she got here. From the moment we arrived at the airport and I shouted "There's my Sharon!" until we said goodbye at the airport for her flight home, we didn't stop talking ~ except to eat or sleep. lol.
It's hard to believe the week is over. The sad news is that today is absolutely beautiful. It was overcast, or (as you know) snowing while Sharon was here, and now that she is leaving the sun is shining and the mountains are sparkling. I remember that from my childhood ~ when I would visit my Grandma, Aunt and Uncle here, it was always so lovely on the day I left for Minnesota that I almost cried leaving. Ah well. Even with the imperfections. I think we all enjoyed our time together a whole bunch. Sharon is a delight.
I wish I could tell you ~ really tell you ~ about the Lion King last night. It's been here twice and the reviews have been 'rave', so I expected it to be wonderful, but I just wasn't prepared for HOW wonderful it was. We sat in the second row, center, and from time to time 'birds' flew over our heads or long necked creatures reached from the stage and almost touched us. Cast members and fantastic animals came down the aisles on either side of us or performed from the balconies. You've all heard the music, so you know it is beautiful ~ but the costumes, sets and puppets are beyond description, or at least beyond my ability to describe. I know I just sat there with my mouth open and a wide child-like smile on my face for at least half the performance. Awesome. Enchanting.
Sharon, thank you again and again!
A few last pictures, and then Sharon was on her way."
My bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
Saying goodbye to Miss Chrystie.
Time to say goodbye ~ for a while.
