Seussical

Seussical - a musical that I am directing for our theater company. I absolutely love the music in this show. There are so many great songs. This is one that for some reason has been stuck in my head all day.

Notice Me Horton

I was just a no one only yesterday.
You showed up and showed me something more.
Now I've become a someone who has someone to believe in and to be there for.
I will not give up hope.
I was hooked from the start when I noticed your kind and your powerful heart.
So notice me Horton.
Notice me Horton . . . the way I notice you.

There are many great messages in this production. The music just makes me happy.

Lots of things happening over here in our neck of the woods.

In no particular order:
Katie is coming home for Thanksgiving vacation in one week
Katie has started working on her mission papers:)
