Betsy came to get her suitcase last night and brought the program from "Sisters, In the Name of Love," put on Thursday the 18th at St. Philip's. It was conceived by James and David and based loosely on Puccini's Sister Angelica, with selections from Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, Sister Act, The Sound of Music, & A Little Bit of Nunsense. For this they had a full audience, and, she claimed, it was hysterically funny. I hope someone taped it, or they plan to do it again. I'd love to see it.

Benji is back from Paris and loved it. Can't wait to read all about it. Hope he took lots of pictures. Tara wrote me a sweet note after reading the blog and was complimentary of Benji's photography. Ricky and Benji both have the "artist's eye" and have made some extraordinary pictures. It's been a while since I felt inspired enough to do anything with my own artistic talent, but while out walking the dogs yesterday, I wished several times for my camera to capture the beauty of all the flowers blooming around here. This is my favorite time of the year to enjoy the gifts of nature, blue jays and mockingbirds being the recent exception.

My neck and shoulders are back to normal, and I have more energy than I've had in days. Just wish I didn't have to spend most of it on housework.
