High School Musical

Yesterday was Mama's birthday. It is very strange and sad not to be able to be at home during events like this. They went to Cock of the Walk on Sunday night for her birthday supper...Just thinking about it makes my mouth water - greens, onion rings, fried dill pickles, cole slaw, cornbread, pickled onions, mmmmmmmmmmmm. Oh well. We'll have to go next time we're in Jackson - unfortunately not sure yet when that will be....

Well, the theater in South Africa is putting on High School Musical. They are kind of doing an "Idols" thing where people tried out and each week 1 boy and 1 girl are voted off. Well one of the 12th graders, Carmen Pretorius, has decided to put school on hold for now and has made it to the top 4! It's quite cool. She was the lead in "Hello Dolly" this year at school. She had light brown/blondish hair, but has dyed it dark dark brown since if she wins, she'll play the role of Gabriella. She's going to come to school tomorrow with a tv crew and sing for the student body and sign autographs and stuff. It'll be fun...plus we get to miss part of school :-)


Not much else is going on. Mark got a new client yesterday which we are very excited about. It is a company that he has done some work for in the past which has a really nice owner. Okay, gotta go to an assembly about tomorrow. Love to everyone reading my blog!!
