Sister Ruth

Ruth got the part of Friar Laurence in her schools production of Romeo and Juliet. It is set in a post-apocoliptic world, where traditional society has broken down, and Mother Superior Laurence has risen as the head religious figure in the town of Verona.  And why the heck not!?  She's already practicing her speeches, and we've been pondering: what does a futuristic dystopian mother nun wear exactly?

Happenings

Last Sunday Jared was the narrator for our church's annual children's program.  Jared did a good job, saying his lines and singing the songs, but Chuck and I were a little sad to think that this is our last year to have a child in the children's program.

On Thursday we met Kaitlin (it's about halfway) to see my nephew Benji in his high school production of Pirates of Penzance.  He played the first mate and did a great job.  We had such a fun time watching him and also visiting with Kaitlin.  We've gone to his shows for years now and are sad that he will be graduating.

I had a chance to go to a book party this week with my friends Amy and Lisa to support another friend, Becky, who has published her third book.  I enjoyed getting a chance to pick her brain about her writing process.
