Starlight Theater - Neil Diamond - A Beautiful Noise

I haven't been to Starlight Theater in years. My best friend from high school invited me to go and see the Neil Diamond musical "A Beautiful Noise". It's the story of Neil Diamond's life. I didn't realize he started out by writing music for other artists. When the cast started singing "I'm a Believer" I turned to Jamie and said "wasn't that the Monkeys song?" Turns out it was written by Neil Diamond.

While the temperature was extremely hot, it's nice to have friends with season tickets next to the stage where you can feel the air conditioning. It made for a "Beautiful" night!

4th of July

It's not really 4th of July yet but Trish asked me to help her with her car so we took advantage of the day and went to breakfast and then shopping.

We finished off what should have been half a day but turned into the whole day with ice cream from Andy's. Now that's a 4th of July bang!

Milestone Anniversary

Melissa and Jamie celebrated a milestone anniversary - 20 years.

I offered to help Violet babysit so they could go out to dinner. There was a lot of pool time which made me very nervous. I kept counting heads to make sure no one was lost.

Add to that, Pearl wanted me to keep filling her water table so the water would rain down. Not a hard job but when she gave me the cup with holes in it, it was much harder to keep filling the upper trough.

We then went inside where I had 5 kids demanding my attention - reading books, playing with babies. Just goes to prove why we have kids when we're young. Happy Anniversary Melissa and Jamie. May you survive another 20!
