Aaaarrrrrgh! Me Maties

27th Street Theatre Production of "Treasure Island"

Dec 7-15, 2012

...just a taste of the magic...

Sliver of blue

thoughts reflecting back in moody pools

slashed with amber street and dashboard blue

awash in too much to say and not enough time

hands 

and hearts 

touching

longing

wondering...what tomorrow will bring

Honestly...

Enticing half truths, and life stories
Edited for a captured audience,
Lures...lulls...lifts...
Stirs the sleeping dragon.

How dare you to look so deep
To kiss so sweet
To touch so warm
And whisper promises.

Another...
Should have
Would have
Could have

Another crack in my
Armour of glass.

On days 23-26 of summer...

My true love, kids and me (I)
decided to "prune" the Norwegian Maples in the yard....this proved to be a HUGE job,
and it keeps going...and going...and going...

On days 17-22 of summer...

My true love and my boy stayed at home (and no, they're not the same person - but close!),
while my girls and I headed off to Drama Camp!

"Camp is for the Birds" was the title of the creation and we had a wonderful time learning the local birds, trees and vegetation in order to tell their story!  The children transformed into the birds and trees and guided the unwitting audience right into the centre of their story!

We braved a torrential storm and a power outage on the second to last day of camp (final rehearsal day) but things managed to come together in the end.  It does always seem to do that.

Power outage...means no dinner!

(except the camp cook is VERY resourceful and cooked her prepared

ham and scalloped potatoes over an open fire!!!)

On the 16th day of summer...

The girls are ready for camp!!

Days 17-22 we'll be attending Drama/Art camp at MacKenzie Camp,

while the boys get up to no good at home!!
