Working a bit, playing a bit.... My little drama group is growing and developing. We should be ready for working on an actual skit/play in two weeks! I am glad that I am doing this, as this will help them be prepared for what it is like to be part of a high school play. Hopefully it will save me some headaches in the Spring! The talent show is scheduled for November 2nd. FINALLY we were able to pick a date. That was so hard, that planning everything else will be a breeze! I have a lot of help as we are sharing the evening with several groups. This weekend I am also working on choreography notes for the Spring show and writing a grant for new microphones.
Aidan and I went to the football game yesterday to see Alannah's half-time show. She did really well! She was the only color guard girl to not drop her flag. I was proud of her. The band's show is coming together. They didn't get the plans for the show until pretty late, so it is a work in progress. They have extra practices this week as they have a competition next Saturday. The football team is getting started with one loss last week, one win yesterday. Poor Enfield--Gilbert-Northwest had them creamed at 24-0 before the end of the first quarter! At least Enfield came back a little toward the end of the game with a final score of 36-20. Aidan and I left in the 3rd quarter, so didn't see the big comeback. (Enfield only had 7 points by then....) I like watching high school football when the score is that huge. The coaches start putting all kinds of kids in to play and they start running all of these exotic plays. It is a good way for me to appreciate the art of the game. Sometimes things move too fast and slick at the professional level.
Other fun things: Scott's mom retired this year so she has been cleaning out closets. She sent a huge box yesterday that was a treasure trove of fun. There were treats for everyone, including the dog. Very special was a handmade bedspread made out of yo-yos that was made by her mother. It is amazing--there must be a thousand tiny little circles of fabric stitched together. I will take a picture of it soon. It makes my yo-yo project look rather pitiful, but I will keep plugging along faithfully. What an inspiration.
Last, but not least:
Scott and I actually went out on a DATE last night! We went out to The Tributary restaurant.

It is a nice place--kind of the "fancy" place to eat in town--the waiters even have cloths over their arms, and when you get a peek into the kitchen the chefs have the big hats and everything. If anyone from Owego remembers "Surf and Turf"--this is very similar, with a big salad bar, traditional menu and a dessert tray. We love Marios, but it is nice to break away from the big Italian theme once in awhile. Sometimes they have a live piano player. Thankfully not last night, as we were sitting practically on top of the piano! (We got there at prime time without reservations...oh well....) I had the Duck a L' Orange with wild rice and a very nice apple/walnut stuffing and sauce. This is how fancy it was: my plate was garnished with a fresh orchid. Scott had the prime rib which was absolutely gorgeous and at least 2 1/2 inches thick. (oh yum!) It was even served with a giant popover. (Dad would appreciate this--they were amazing) We were there for probably 3 hours just taking our time, laughing and having a great time. I think everyone else there were jealous of us.... hee hee as they all kept looking over and smiling at us sitting up there all cozy in the corner. Yeah.... we needed that!
