HONK!!

As you all know, I just returned from a trip to Washington to see this amazing young lady perform in her school's Spring Musical, HONK.  Holly, you are such an amazing young lady and I love you to the moon and back again a trillion, million times.

 

This is the headshot that the photographer does of all the cast.  Isn't she beautiful?

 My two favorite granddaughters!!!!!

 In the play, there were several ducks, chickens, geese, Honk the ugly swan and a couple of cats.  This young man has been in other productions with Holly (I always forget his name) but he is great.  He played a tomcat to perfection.  I just had to get a picture of him with our Lady Katie.

 Oh by the way, Aunt Amy, did you know that Katie is no longer a princess?  She is now called Lady Katie and her mother is the Countess.

 Here's my two girls with a very special lady, Auntie Grace.

 By the end of the play, the house looked like a greenhouse - there were two more bouquets downstairs. 

I talked with several people at the play and they would ask who I came to see and I was so proud to say, Holly Hiemstra.  Lots of people knew her and told me how good she is on stage - of course, I agreed!!  It was an unusual play but a fun one BUT then I say that every year.

By the way:  now to brag about my grandson, Chase.  His 6th grade band was asked to play in the Twin Cities today for a teacher's conference.  Unfortunately we had to miss his band concert which was earlier this week.  We made it for his vocal concert in December but was happy to hear that his Grandpa Ken and Grandma Mary were there.  We're so proud of you, Chase.  Hope you enjoyed your visit to the Twin Cities with your band group.

It is 4:00 on Valentine's Day - the temp is 64 with beautiful sunshine.  Lots of people are out and about with their shorts and t-shirts on. 

Girls, your father outdid himself for Valentine's Day this year.  When I got up this morning, there was a single red rose with baby's breath and greenery sitting on the table along with candy and a Valentine cookie.  He would have taken me to breakfast but it was coffee and donut day.  However, he is taking me to a nice restaurant for dinner with Uncle Rich & Aunt Henrietta and some friends.

Well, that's it for today.  Tomorrow I'll try posting some additional pictures of Washington to show you all the work DeAnn had me doing.  No rest for mothers!!!

Love to you all,
Gramma and MOM
