This morning we headed to Oklahoma to see the Gungans. Ms. Donna, my best buddy, my partner in crime for the last twelve years, was directing the play for their new homeschool group. Donna has been teaching drama at the co-op academy, and today was the big day they put on Long Tall Lester.
It's the story of the notorious outlaw Billy Black returning to Dodgeball City, leaving the current sheriff heading for the hills. The townspeople decide to appoint the next person who walks through the door of the saloon (where only sarsaparilla is served) as the new sheriff. Unfortunately, that person turns out to be Lester McChester, encyclopedia salesman.
The play was witty and the kids did a great job on their production. My buddy did a great job preparing the kids with everything from projection, blocking to covering up when things don't go exactly as planned. And true to her nature Donna was very humble about her role in it all which of course generated the desire of the kids and parents to shower accolades on her. Everyone of the kids presented her with roses and love.
Donna invited our other 'Drama Momma' Ms. Kathy and Hannah to this evenings play. It was fun to reminiscence about all the plays we've worked on together through PEACH. So many great memories. After the play the kids headed to the 10pm showing of Rogue One. Besides the three Duncans, three Kirkwoods, and Hannah we added to the group Richard's girlfriend Melissa and her sister Hannah. We didn't scare his girlfriend off and she got our definite approval.
We love our sweet friends and miss them dearly but are thankful to share these moments together.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
I Thessalonians 5:11
