Last Full Week of June

This has been a week full of theater for Dan and Margie, and summertime relaxation for John and Lyn (as if they need it).

Monday was the Annual Meeting at LTA, and Margie was reelected as the Governor of Membership for another two years. She was unopposed, so the election results were not exciting, but she claims this is her last year in that position. Time will tell.

On Wednesday, we had tech night for the one-act competition. We got to lug the set (couch, 2 chairs, 2 tables) to the rec center, wait while the sound and lights were ironed out, then lug everything back to our garage that same night.

Margie and the kids went to Pirate's Cove on Thursday. It had been a while since they went swimming, so they enjoyed the cool water.

Saturday night was the performance for "Hero Worship" at the one-act festival. Everything went well, and the judges had mostly kind things to say about the show.

Then on Sunday, we all attended the awards ceremony for the one-act festival. Liz Owens was one of the presenters. (She won Best Director last year for "Solitaire".) "Hero Worship" got only one nomination, but it was a winner! Gary Cramer won the Best Lead Actor award. Congrats Gary!

Our 21 day detox continues, and we are excited to be over the hump--today was Day 11! Lyn and John say that it's not all bad. There are a few things they've found they really like--like raw brownies (dates, walnuts, and cocoa powder), dark chocolate, detox spaghetti (raw shredded zucchini topped with tomato sauce), detox mac & cheese (spelt noodles with raw (unpasteurized) goat cheese, and detox pancakes (made with spelt flour). Lyn and Margie also really like the free form dancing in the morning. Margie used to do that all the time as a kid and had forgotten how fun it is!

Still, we'll be glad when it's over. So far we have not seen any improvement in John's skin. He will also be getting some allergy/intolerance testing done in the next couple of weeks--we're anxious to see what that reveals. For all we know, spelt macaroni and goat cheese might be the worst things to give him!

Well, that's it for now. Margie and the kids spent today planning some fun things for the summer. Stay tuned!
