Donny and Marie, Gift Certificate



I just pointed my camera up into the sky the other day, the sun coming through the clouds was too bright to look at directly. Then I wondered if this would damage the lens of the camera, but it seems to be ok! I'm happy with the results. From what I can google, point and shoot cameras should be ok but I think I'll avoid doing this as a habit.

Julie Prichard had a giveaway on a lovely post about 'style' and I was the lucky winner of a Dick Blick gift certificate! It was a lovely surprise, my thanks to Julie.

I went to the Donny and Marie show on the weekend with some friends and enjoyed it very much. It was very nostalgic. Unfortunately Marie had lost her voice, but did make an appearance. Donny is such a role model. A lady sitting near us said she actually converted to the Mormon faith, being inspired by the Osmond family. That was a little over the top, but she seemed pretty normal, and a big fan although she said she wasn't a groupie. Oh, Donny and Marie came through the audience and we even got a 'high five' from Donny!

Before the show, the 4 of us went to an Italian restaurant near to the theatre and participated in their Summerlicious fixed price menu special. I was happy with my choices of mussels, cannelloni, and a refreshing sorbet for dessert. The tuna pasta dish looked good too. They seemed to have a lot of vegetarian choices on the menu, a healthy trend, perhaps.

K started his formal driving lessons, the instructor is having an easy time because he's pretty much driving already. He'll just have to go through the finer points. He has already had his in-class sessions.

Any Dream Will Do

Donny and Marie are bringing their live show to Toronto in July and a girlfriend called and asked if I'd be interested in tickets. I said yes, because I'd like to see them. It's her sister's birthday so I'll be going with her sister, because my friend already saw them in Las Vegas and the tickets aren't cheap. There are two other ladies going with us, I think it will be fun, both the show and the company.

I like Donny Osmond, I was able to see him at Casino Rama a few years ago. I also saw him in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat awhile back. Remember the song 'Any Dream Will Do?'...I loved it.

Marie is about my age, and I've always liked her as well.
