Kiss & Tell

I love going to the Plays and I am so glad that Barbie and her girls take me with them.  We go to the Hale Theater in Orem.  Barbie and her girls have been going for years and they love this theater...I do too.  It's small and cozy and always have good performances.  The drive goes by quickly with all our chatter which is also part of the fun.

Tonight the play was so fun.  Maybe it was a bit better because I was sitting by 15 year old Carleigh who was loving it too.  She was into the little romances going on and anticipated the "kisses".   The actors were all so good.  I do not know how they can keep a straight face when funny things are happening and being said.  I guess that's why I'm not in the plays...I couldn't do it.

I have enjoyed getting to know Barbie and her girls better.  I have known them for many years but haven't spent a lot of time with them until the last few years.  It's funny how friendships develop when they are most needed and appreciated.  Such fun times!

Oh the places you can go.....

We had Book Club today and it was fun.  I actually read a few books this month that I was able to share and report on.  I read the story of Elizabeth Smart.  I liked how open she was with sharing her story.  I admired her faith in the Lord and her strong spirit.  I am so glad that she survived and was blessed with a strong spirit that wouldn't allow her abductors one more day of her life.  I also read A Walk of Faith by Richard Paul Evans.  It's a story that has been continued from previous books and has another one following.  I don't like reading books that need to be continued especially if the book isn't published yet....the suspense kills me.  I look forward to reading the next book and can't wait until May when it is released.  I read a good book by Kim Krey (a gal I use to teach in Church) It's called Jade's Cowboy Crush.  It's a well written romance with a bit of suspense.  Jade witnessed a murder and is put in the Witness Protection Program to keep her and her son safe. Jade falls for the darling cowboy that is protecting her.  It's fun reading books when you know the author.  I am so proud of Kim.
There are a few books I want to read this month that Suzie talked about. They are by Immacule Ilibagiza  that wrote Left  to Tell. I really enjoy reading and love the things that I have learned over the years. I like reading a variety of books. The mind is a wonderful thing and our imaginations are a gift. Books enhance both!
