Nutcracker

A week or so ago, Rhonda, Suzy, Jeff and I all had the opportunity to see Ballet West's Nutcracker. After waiting for Suz and Jeff to get to our house (they were late, of course), we were off. While walking out of our apartment building, we smelled smoke. Notably worried, I asked Ro to knock on our neighbor's door. The boy that answered assured me that if anything happened, he'd call the fire dept.

After being escorted to the wrong seats, we were corrected by another matron. Just a row or two back - easy remedy. The seats were in the mezanine - up high but pretty good ones.

The ballet was amazing. The athletic talent of each dancer is baffling. We enjoyed every part. I knew when Ro had found her favorite part. After the Russian dancers, she sat higher in her seat and clapped with more enthusiasm than the rest. She loved the Russian dancers!

After the ballet, we stopped at Faustina's for a late night dinner. The food, company and many many laughs were fabulous! We laughed so hard we cried, snorted and maybe...well...um-no. All of our tummies hurt from laughing. We had such a great time.

I am glad we were able to go and take our sister Suz and our friend Jeff. We have such great times with both of them. Guaranteed: tons of laughter!!
