To Julie with great thanks
Well, Lola's back!
It's been a while, but here's what is going on in my life. Grandmother came through surgery but has been battling small (?) things like sinus infections and the such. She's supposed to be discharged today to a skilled nursing facility for rehab. This is the type of work that I do myself. My step-dad had a left knee replacement. He's finding out just how painful these can be, but in the long run it'll be one of the best things he's ever done. He's being dischaged today, to a rehab facility. One in Texas and one in North Carolina. It's been stressful, but things are going well.
Went with friends to see the Broadway South tour of THE LION KING. I've never seen it before and have been wanting to do so, well ... forever it seems like. Mary and Beep have both seen it previously in NY. I loved the first act, while the second dragged for me a bit. Loved Rifiki and Zuzu, a lot! My friends (and I told them I was going to rag on them in this blog), didn't like it nearly as much as the NY performances. Mary was more forgiving though, of the show.
All I can say is: JULIE TAYMOR ROCKS! Love, love, love the costumes. Knew I would like them and was a bit worried that my high expectations would let me down. NOPE. In the opening scene when the giraffes came out on stage, I teared up. Yep. Gorgeous, all of 'em. Can't quite say enough about it, so I'll stop now.
Okay. TREY turned ONE! Pictures of course follow:
Here he is with my gift, I figure at this age something small is fine with a gift check to go into his educational fund. He loved it, but really wanted to play with the box ....
Or play in my suitcase! He made a beeline for my suitcase and would crawl back in as soon as you took him out. He even figured out how to open it ... guess this means he wants to come for a visit. Fine with me!
He was a little unsure of the cake ...
But that didn't last long!
But Vickie gave the best (or worst?) gift, ALL the kids wanted to play with it. Trey's cousin Maddie Grace was the most persistant ...
Fun was had by all, Lola included.
God Bless

What a cutie!!! I agree, small gifts for small people. They can only handle so many large gifts - that's what grandparents are for! : )
Glad Grandmother and Dad are both improving. R's Grammie just had surgery too. Always sumthin'!
