Started the weekend late last night by giving directions over the phone to two young ladies misplaced in downtown Birmingham after attending the Taylor Swift concert. Bless their hearts, it was confusing to them, they couldn't make the GPS work, and really, downtown B'ham--especially north of the Civic Center--ain't a place for a 20-year old and 17-year old to be spending much time after 11 pm, is it?
Woke up this a.m. and drove Sarah and Andrew to the ACT. Once again, we (meaning "I") failed to register them early enough to get the Spain Park location near our house, so they were transported to Shades Valley, maybe a dozen or so miles from our abode. No worries, we hit Chik-Fil-A for biscuits and it gave them a chance to wake up a little before heading in to what will likely be their last ACT ever!
Collin has a soccer game at 12:00 noon, and the schedule-makers were not kind to us, as Rachel's volleyball match is at 12:00 noon as well. Split crew, and I draw volleyball since I am the coach.
No rest for the weary, as after the games today (and thanks to Caitlin for being home this weekend to pick up Sarah and Andrew), we'll be replacing an attic door and ladder. We'll need that so that we--or a critter control type person--can come in and figure out how to remove the squirrels--we think--that have taken up an unpaid residency in the top portion of our home. Didn't hear any noise this morning, but we have heard it, and believe we have squirrels. We hope.
Tomorrow I will need to meet with another lawyer on three matters we have ongoing and get some work done prior to the week starting bright and early Monday a.m. Tomorrow I will also be attending the Thespian Induction ceremony at OLV. Rachel will be recognized as an "apprentice," since she's a 5th grader, and it begins with 6th grade. In other Thespian news, Rachel was also cast as "Mary Lennox" in OLV's upcoming Fall production of "The Secret Garden." It is the non-musical version of the play, but we are all excited for her. It will be her first big "starring" role.
The Secret Garden musical has always been one of my favorite plays, mainly because some of my favorite actors here locally were in it, and did a fabulous job. I recall years ago CenterStage performed the show at the Badham Theatre at Indian Springs School, and it was just terrific. Brent Jones and Frank Thompson did a duet, "Lily's Eyes," that just poured out to you. Mike Bridges was terrific as Ben, the Gardener, and Sarah James, and really, the entire cast, were special in that performance. Caitlin has a DVD of the show that I need to borrow to watch again in my spare time.
Which brings me to the conclusion of this blog post today, of course. There is no weekend rest, and other than these brief few minutes, my spare time this weekend is, of course, non-existent. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
