Cult-chure



It's been a week of 'cult-chure' (imagine a genteel southern-lady type accent, with one pinkie properly extended)... last night we went to Sarah's art show at the high school, all art by my ap kids, lovely snacks by Sarah. Chocolate covered strawberries, cheese, Hawaiian cookies (little sand-tarts with a pineapple coconut filling- yummmy) strawberry blossoms (strawberries cut like flowers, filled with a cream-cheese whippy goodness and dark chocolate leaves) and this delightful punch that involved coffee and vanilla ice cream... the art was good to!

Last night on our way back from Wal-mart we stopped at the first outdoor 'third Thursday' concert of the year at the outside theater behind the women's club. We had seen the sign before, but had not realised it was so soon... we pulled the blanket out of the car and joined the crowd. The Country Roads were the performers, country/Western with a bit of beach music thrown in. Such fun! Between Wal-mart and the concert, I swear this man knows everyone in the county... honestly, every aisle in the store there was a conversation, and all the fellows at the concert kept waving. (one kept poking Charles and saying 'you know, they have weddings here. Did you know they have weddings here? They do have weddings here...and other things...and weddings!)

Tonight it is off to Topsail for the spring production: Wizard of Oz. It is the first production in the new auditorium, and knowing Rochelle, it will be an extravaganza. I miss being in her plays- I really do like acting. To my credit, I have been the figurehead on a ship, Hecate from Macbeth and Queen Titania in Midsummer's Night's Dream. (Oddly enough, Charles played 'Bottom' the donkey-headed character) Match made in heaven.
