There are a number of play houses here in Prescott where we can go to view live performances. I love the movie "Steel Magnolias" with Dolly Parton as Truvie, the beautician. There was a performance of this stage play here in Prescott and the lady who played Dolly Parton's part of Truvie was wonderful.....although I think that her waistline was perhaps 4 times that of Dolly Parton. I was wondering just how they would portray many things in the movie, but they did it with one set - that of the beauty parlor....and our minds made up the rest of the story. The actress who took the part played by Sally Fields, even looked a lot like Sally Fields and her speech about the loss of her daughter to diabetes had me in tears. I could really feel the depth of grief she had for the loss.
Friday 10th April was a really crazy day. Bill wanted to attend the temple in North Phoenix before going the dentist for his checkup but he did not get ready in time so we had to settle for other ordinances. We literally blew into the temple and blew out and he remarked that "If I had gotten up earlier it would not have been such a rush job. You really cannot rush the temple experience. He went to the dentist and after it we looked for a Mayo clinic that I could attend. The last blood test I had showed that there needed to be an adjustment to my meds and I wanted a second opinion. We found the North Scottsdale Mayo clinic but they were only General Practitioners and not an avenue to follow to get to see the specialists at Mayo. We found a 'fast food' joint to eat lunch and then high tailed it back to Prescott to try to be there before David arrived. We make reservations for him but the people who care for him never obey the reservation time - they just take him any old time they want - sometimes up to 2 hours before the appointed time. They drop him off and he occupies his time filling up on junk food and large soda's and comes home minus money to pay for his needs. So we hurried home and got here 30 minutes before he arrived - which was an hour earlier than we planned. Good thing we are aware of the practices of his providers.
The high school drama department put on the play "Grease" - them movie introduced Olivia Newton John to American audiences. I have not seen the movie and the play was well done but not family viewing fare because of the language and innuendo's. We took David to see it, but the 50's theme was not understood by him at all.
My mission training is going along but I do not think I will be ready to participate in the big push for arbitration. There are millions of records that need arbitration before they can be released and not enough people to do the task, so I guess they will have to do it without me.
This past weekend there was a wonderful artist activity in the bank parking lot. They call it Chalk It Up and invited artists, along with local people draw pictures on the parking lot for all to come and enjoy. This year was the first year I could go and see the activities and it was marvelous.
At quilt guild this month they honored those of us who had been presidents by asking us to bring our President's quilt and show it off. there are not so many of us left in Prescott, but it was wonderful to see what was on display. The pictures are on the MountainTop Quilters website under "Past Presidents Quilts".
