Anne of Green Gables
The Forest Theater is a great setting for this musical play that was written about a little orphan girl who is sent to an aging brother and sister's farm on Prince Edward Island in Canada. They needed a boy to help on the farm but a red-headed girl was sent instead. This is an outdoor theater set in the woods off of Seabeck Highway. You hike down the trail to the amphitheater. The seating is of concrete piling packed with dirt. You can bring a blanket, picnic and snacks and maybe an umbrella. The entire amphitheater is shaded by magnificent tall pine trees.
I had a good time! Kanoe had gotten the tickets and while I was at halau in the morning, the gals went to get a manicure or pedicure and then on to the play. I'm wondering what will play on the weekends of May and June next year.
When the kids were little I read all the Anne books. Sometime along the way the story played on tv in a series and we all watched. When the girls got a little older they read the books too, so going to the play was a reminiscense.
Wes was "home" with a day to himself. He went and test drove the new Toyota Landcruiser (out of curiosity) and found it too small and not fuel efficient. He picked up my chair. When we ordered the couch we decided on a small recliner to fit my back and body (apparently, I'm littler that what they build most recliners for). We will see if this improves my aches and pains a little. It has to be better than sinking down into that couch and needing help to get out of it or just rolling to the floor from a lying down position! Anyway, I couldn't remember if I chose the upholstery in all beige, or with a little gold running through it. So when I arrived at home after the play, the large sectional was moved a little to make room for my little chair. It is quite comfy and when he has those long snoring nights I envision myself to be quite comfortable sleeping in the livingroom on this chair!
I asked for a ride on the bike to dinner (if I mention the bike, I don't have to stay at home and cook!) and I had some oysters, he had a seafood type of soup. Restaurants are so crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings but we ate at the "bar" in our biker clothes and just took our time getting served. The place is in Poulsbo in an old garage and on nice days they roll the doors up and have tables out on the patio. It is close to the harbor. The asparagus that came with the oysters were good. At J&J's to sit at the bar means you are watching the cooks scramble around. I think it's fun to watch people cook! By the time we got home it was 9. It was another day filled with activity and I was BEAT! I'm hoping to relax today!
And I have to mention that there was a blanket on the floor next to MY chair, so I know he has been trying it out, it fact, there he reclines right now, complaining that it's too small, but not making an effort to go to another place! Well, I don't have time to chase him off and recline, he's watching the races. I'm going to move a couple of plants since the weather is still cool enough not to scorch and kill them! Then I'm off to church to lead the kids in singing to their dads today!
2.5 more days of report cards and moving the stuff in the classroom for next year and I'll be done until after E Hula Mau Hula Competition in Long Beach, California!
