Well, we completed our first Holiday Shows of the season. We performed at Visani Dinner Theater in Port Charlotte, FL last Tuesday night, and again on Wednesday afternoon for a matinee.
It was great to see friends Barbara and Frank Kelleher, (I forgot to take their picture....darn it!)owners of Turtles Restaurant on Little Sarasota Bay, where we entertained for 15 years! They also were the best man and matron of honor at our wedding in 1994. (Or as Frank, likes to say, "We were the 'best people' at their wedding.") They came to the Tuesday night show, along with many other friends and supporters.
Wednesday afternoon we had two motor coaches and several other groups represented, including the Park Hill Red Hats, Advantage Seniors, H2U (which means "health & happines to you"), Blake Hospital, and the Telephone Retirees. (I loved doing Ernestine the telephone operator for them.) And our very special guests, Nick and his mom Dee (with me in the photo above) who are our neighbors.
A great time was had by all, and I especially enjoyed singing a few holiday songs, like "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (Buddy has some special props for that one....) and "White Christmas". I think the biggest hit of the show was "Nana's Twelve Meals of Christmas" (think 'twelve days of Christmas') especially when we came around to "FIVE BIG MEATBALLS!" . Ah the holiday season has begun.
Next up, we will perform Sunday for the folks at Jamaica Bay community in Fort Myers. We look forward to seeing them again. Then on December 11, 12, and 13 we will perform our show at Lemon Bay Playhouse in Englewood. This is our fourth time at the Playhouse and we hope there will be many many more. We love those people!
So, keep your blood pressure low this holiday season, and by all means remember to have a little fun every day.
