to the theater i went

It has been a long time since I went to a Broadway play.

A good friend of mine asked me months ago if I would like to go down to Jacksonville to see the play Wicked. "Of course", I said, "I would love to do that."

It was wonderful.....I can't get the tunes out of my head. Wicked is another perspective on The Wizard of Oz. It tells the story of the wicked witch Elphaba and the good witch Glinda and, of course, the Wizard himself.

I laughed alot, got totally caught up in the wild antics of the players, the scenery, and most of all the beautiful music. If you can, listen to For Good. Oh my goodness, it is so beautiful.

My friend and I and eleven other women were there. We stayed at the Embassey Suites hotel and we feasted at the Omaha Steakhouse. There was lots of laughter and girl talk, and on Saturday, a day of shopping. How fun and relaxing and just good to get away like that.

I returned to the beach at 7:00pm last evening boned tired, but full of excitement and good will.

Thank you all for asking me to go. The blessing of life come from all directions.

friends forever, cathy
