Farewell, Grandpa

My Grandpa(dads-dad) past away on Monday February 26, 2007. He was laid to rest today at 1:00pm EST with an honorary veterans ceremony today(served in Korean War). I will miss the smell of his pipe, the low mumbles of complaints and great hugs. Most of all, my memories will always remain of The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. May you finally have rest. You will be greatly missed.

Central City Opera

O.K., I know August is still seven months away but I am sooo excited to go to the Opera again. I recently purchased our tickets for the La Traviata and Cinderella shows in August.


LA TRAVIATA - (by Giuseppe Verdi), the popular Italian opera about a consumptive courtesan and her turbulent love affair with a nobleman in Paris. Performed in Italian with English supertitles.
CINDERELLA - (by Jules Massenet), the classic rags-to-riches tale of Cinderella, from her sad existence with an evil stepmother and stepsisters to her night at the ball and living happily ever after with Prince Charming. Performed in French with English supertitles.

Now it's on to finding the outfits. I love to dress up once in a while.
