Last Week at the Remmers

As usual, we've had a busy week, though it hasn't been too crazy.

Lyn had piano and ballet. (John is excited that chess club starts next week!)

Dan and Margie met with Lyn's teacher and are still THRILLED with his approach to education. We continue to believe that he is the perfect teacher for her.

Saturday was a bit crazy. Margie met with her friend and pianist, Susan, to go over the music for Plaid Tidings, which they will be working on together. Meanwhile, Dan had a meeting at the theatre for Art of Murder. He took the kids with him--with rehearsals and set building going on at the same time, they're practically going to live there for the month of October!

Margie and Susan then headed to the theatre (we missed Dan and the kids) for auditions! Unfortunately, we only had THREE people show up! We chalked it up to the warm weather Saturday afternoon and figured that people would come on Sunday night instead.

After auditions, we headed over to a friend's house for a surprise 40th birthday party for our friend Jennifer Lyman (who had been Dan's Maid of Honor at our wedding). She was COMPLETELY surprised, and it was very fun.

As a gift (Jennifer is a self-proclaimed "cake snob"), Margie had stopped by Occasionally Cake for some gourmet cupcakes made by Susan's daughter, Sabrina Campbell. She got Red Velvet, Pomegranate Orange, Pink Champagne, Oreo Cookie, Toasted Coconut, and Tiramisu. Jennifer was so impressed that she showed them off to everybody (but just for show--she left the tasting for herself!).

On Sunday, Dan headed back to the theatre for the strike of Foreigner. Since he is bulding the next set, he wanted to make sure they save the things that he needs to use, but mostly it was for inventory and the handoff of the keys.

In the evening, Margie went to the theatre for the next round of auditions. Again, we only had THREE people! That's a total of SIX! Ack! So much for the warm weather theory.

So...if anyone knows some great male singers who want to star in a Christmas show (with only four actors--all of them are the star!), please encourage them to come audition. We are holding another round on Wednesday at 7pm.

John wants you to know that he has 120 stars now and has unlocked all three characters in his Mario game. "Just in case you forget, because we did."
