I Promise I Am Still Here..
I am missing blogging and being a knit fanatic!!!!
Being "famous" is hard. I have rehearsal from 7-9 pm and sometimes 10pm. I then have to practice & stretch these old muscles I haven't used in decades...I actually fell asleep on the sofa
about 8:30 the other night (that's different for me) and woke when the Westie was standing on my chest....
I have been having fun and this is definitely a learning (relearning) process for me.
That old saying "If you don't use it you WILL lose it", is appropriate here for sure.
Knees are now wrapped as tap dancing and slamming the ball and heel of your foot does hurt your knees afterwards. But as usual I am hanging in..I love it..and hope the other Community Plays will be something I can do...
I am loud enough that I don't need a microphone, as you that know me will attest to.
I am Sister Mary Merlot and cannot wait for the 5 shows.
Love and Peace to all,
Darla
I can't wait to tell you more & have pics for you...

I've Got To Go!!!!!
After tapping all week end and now in extreme distress (I do have a disability, which I try to ignore) after bending my knees & tap dacing, pounding my toes then heels & then both
I can't do it all..
I don't remember feeling every muscle in my body for a very long time. They have been retired for quite a while.
I am not giving up but warming up more. I will not give in to the discomfort because I am having too much fun!!!
Voice is deeper but they need me with all those sopranos...dancing and keeping time well someone has to show the 16 yr. olds of the world that 60 is okay and it certainly isn't what 60 was for my Mom....
Keep smiling and "The Show Must Go ON!!!!!! Oh don't forget the Grammy's...,.
Peace and lots of Freeze It..

Very Busy ..Still Knitting
Alright, I now am starting to take some photos for my blog.
Tonite is the beginning of rehearsal hell.....every day except Wednesday. My muscles hurt in places I had forgotten about at least 15 yrs. ago.
I am still working on the shawl. Now I see why it takes so long to knit one...lots of yardage and
little stitches. So I am cheating..,SURPRISE!!! I began with size 0 then size 2....again to 3.5 and then 5us and now I am on 7 circulars (didn't like that one as my needles were too slippery. So I have put the stitches back on to a size 8 straight needle...
I know I will eventually have to go back to circulars ( unless I am knitting for my dog), because of the number of stitches involved (and boy are they!).
So have a great Thursday and will try to post in the next few days....

Packages mailed
So yesterday was "Pack up gifts" to be mailed to Kansas. It is complete and lots of knitting projects which (I hope) they will enjoy.
I volunteered on Thursday at Good Sam Nursing home and watched the fifth gragers make gingerbread houses. Wow are they creative!! I never would have thought of a swing set made
made of pretzels and gumdrops. Icing for the glue of course. The boys can be proud as they helped a few of the residents make houses of their own (actually the kids did the work).
We had one lady who would spread frosting on her graham crackers THEN eat it. Not just one but many. So it was fun.
Then Thursday eve I went to audition for our local Community Theatre Group. I made it!!!! Don't know what part as yet but it's going to be loads of fun. Oh, did I tell you it's a musical!!!!
"Nunscance"....very appropriate for a Catholic High School graduate!!! It's so funny and it will be in the beginning of March. Finally found my calling......A NUN???
I'll keep you informed.
Peace,
Darla
I guess singing & dancing and learning lines & songs will be quite the task after so many years.
