My beautiful flowers from mom and dad!

"Spitfire Grill" opened this weekend-- successfully! We have had a great time rehearsing the show, and our hard work payed off (or at least the audience seemed like it). After opening show, we went out to a Japanese steak house to celebrate which was a blast. This has been one of the best times I have had in the last year and a half, and it is all because of my cast. They are great and a joy to be around. Mary Grace (see above pic) is a really neat girl. I had met her here when I was here doing the Christmas show in 2006. She has really grown up, but is still just as sweet. The flowers are from mom and dad for opening night. Mom, I know you're not a flower person, but you have no clue how many times a day I smell them. I guess that is the Barb in me -- I just like flowers :) Mike and Becky are the two in the "saintly picture". They work at a church down here, and we have all connected. We are kind of like the three amigos. We are always chatting and joking. Becky is great. My mom met her and said she is very "warm". I think she is, and we have hit it off. Wendy plays "Hannah" in the show. She is great, and I enjoy her on and offstage. Her hair is actually as brown as mine. Ah, what a difference makeup makes!

I am staying in Georgia this week. Computers and cell phones make work easy from about anywhere. Although, I often hold a disdain for technology, I must say I am thankful for email and attachments this week :) Hope everyone is doing well, and I would love to see you at the show. Until then, I am going to head out for a run in my shorts and t-shirt! I love this weather!
