Joseph and me. Part 2.

So we were discussing Joseph and his life in my last post.  He was living in Egypt, second only to Pharoah.  His brothers came to ask for food during a famine, not realizing that they are talking to the brother they sold into slavery.  They bowed before him, just as his dream had predicted many [...]

Joseph and me.

I’ve been absent from this space lately.  Burning the candle at all points possible.
That’s because I’m in rehearsals.

My church is presenting Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat soon. 
 
Sat & Sun Sept 26-27 and Sat and Sun Oct 3-4.
I am an Egyptian dancing lady. That in itself is worth the price of admission.  [...]

Friday Faves. Yes, I’m still hearting Carnival Spirit Alaska.

Today’s Topic:

 
I don’t know what was best…

 Having a different menu every night……

 Being able to order one or five appetizers…

  Having attentive, happy servers…..(sorry, no pics of the servers, too busy eating and watching glaciers out the dining room window)

 Leaving the tablesetting and dishwashing to someone else……

 Eating all the dessert I wanted…..

 
 All this was great.
But the best part [...]
