And so the story goes...

As you know, Sarah stayed over night last night to prepare for our big day at the theater. She gave a wonderful report on my last post and promised to let you know how she liked Shrek The Musical! We took some pictures before the show...
Sarah always loves a fancy dress with some sparkly shoes!
And a pretty hairdo~
Does she like posing over and over again because Meme can't take a good picture? NO! But she does it for me!

We did change shoes a couple of times until she decided the hot pink would be PERFECT with her light pink dress!
So sweet~
Then she danced about until it was time to leave for the theater!

In Sarah's words...

"Shrek The Musical was so good. I really think kids who are 3, 4 or 5 would like this show. My favorite part was the fart song. (Surprise, surprise!!) I also liked the little Fiona girl who was only about 5 years old in the show. She was a good singer. At the end, it is fun how they shoot the papers out at the people (confetti), but I didn't get any. You should go see it. Thanks Meme!"

In Meme's words...

"Shrek The Musical was so good! I loved looking over at Sarah and seeing her mouth the words to songs! My favorite part was the little Fiona's singing from their tower~ one about 5 years old, one about 13 years old then the grown Fiona! The costumes were incredible and this play was so enjoyable! Taking Sarah to the theater is always such a treat for me. She is so very attentive, clapping so hard for the performers and then getting teary eyed at the end when we give them a standing ovation. I usually have her in my arms and get to see the look on her face as they take their bows~ PRICELESS! Thanks Rosie for being my special date at the theater! I love that you share my passion for music and plays! I love you!

Note to self...

Never wake up at 4 am and check your blog....

Once I read THIS, and the comment left on this~

Well, let's just say "there were tears on my pillow"

SHREK, The Musical

My little theater date, Sarah, will get a kick out of this little number on Sunday!



This month, it's all about the GREEN! I can hardly wait!

My very own Maria want to be~ Miss Mya Brynn!

I feel pretty Oh so pretty

I feel pretty and witty and gay

And I pity

Any girl who isn't me today

I feel charming
Oh so charming

It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty

That I hardly can believe I'm real

Enough already~ you know it, I know it....

I am Pretty

Good Clean Fun...

Once I’m in my bubble bath

I like to stir up more.

Half the suds go in my eyes

And half go on the floor.

The fun is in the bubbles ‘cause
They giggle on my skin,

And when I stick them on my face

They dangle from my chin.

When I splash them hard enough
They pop and disappear,

Then my bath time’s over ‘cause
I’ve made the water clear!

but it could have been written by Sarah and Molly!

Happy March Little Leprechauns!

May your pockets be heavy

and your heart be light,

May good luck persue you

each day and night!

So many THANK YOU's!

I sent Sarah and Molly a card from Florida. When Sarah got to my house on Saturday night, she made this for me...

The girls showed up wearing their matching little dance outfits and tights! Too cute~
Little Molly is just too precious!

I got the girls little Mister necklaces in Florida. Little keepsakes to remember their little dog, Mister who, sadly, has not been found. Sarah thinks he is in heaven with GG~ isn't that a nice thought!
Molly was just tickled...

Sarah got busy writing her thank you again. This girl is just so smart and thoughtful! I love her kind heart!

Today I was surprised to find a package at my front door! It was from my friend Sheila... my blogging friend who signs all her posts and comments with "Toodles"!!

I was the lucky winner of a little contest on her blog! She sent me some delicious chocolate popcorn, which lasted in this box about 5 minutes before I ate it all!
Sheila also made me this great rice bag... you simply heat it in the microwave for any aches you might have...

THANK YOU~ Sheila! Your package was so very thoughtful! My friends often laugh at me as I talk about my "friends" from my blog because I do talk like I know you personally!! Thanks for always leaving me great comments~ it's so nice to have blogging friends! It's like the old days of Pen Pals, isn't it? I am glad your one of mine!

Wishbone Day~

Bridget wrote a wonderful post about Cayden that I want to share! We are excited to be about to celebrate a BREAK~FREE YEAR! So awesome!

SCARY...

Flight 394 on USA 3000 was a bit SCARY this morning! I left Fort Myers Florida this morning at 6 am bound for Cleveland. The lady in line behind me, dropping off her elderly mother says to me... "My husband is a pilot and he says United has canceled all flights out of Cleveland this morning." She was wondering how USA 3000 was going to fly right into Cleveland. Well, we didn't exactly fly right into Cleveland. We spent about 40 minutes in some very turbulent air. People were getting sick, kids were screaming, with every dip and drop! The pilot says to us... " We may head to Columbus or Cincinnati. Cleveland has one runway shut down with a disabled plane and the other we could use is down while plows clear the snow. We will slow down and see if it gets re opened in the next 15 minutes! GREAT! Cleveland cleared that runway and we did finally land~ a very, very, scary landing! One followed with clapping from all the relieved passengers!

Last Thursday as I sat at the Cleveland airport, my flight on USA 3000 was late. It arrived and had some switch problems. We sat and waited and waited some more. The 7:40 pm flight was delayed. People got angry. The attendant made a pa announcement calling her airline "A Discount Airline" ~ suggesting we should all just be quiet and accept the fact there was nothing at all we or they could do for us. They did fly a jet in from St Louis, empty, for us to get to Fort Myers. We left Cleveland at 4 am and got to Florida at 7 am~ What a crazy night!! I did have a blast with new friends~ Joan, Kathy, MaryBeth, Gina and Angelina!! Thanks for making the hours fly by with lots of laughter! I may NEVER fly USA 3000 again!

This morning, I left this behind...

and came home to this...

But that's ok... He is here too!!
