19802. arkymalarky - 7/24/2006 4:05:21 PM Which parts of Europe were having a heatwave? I just saw a headline. Now California is having one too? Things finally moderated here, thank goodness. I can handle the lower 90s. 19803. judithathome - 7/24/2006 4:19:05 PM Yes, I'm hoping for this type weather for the weekend...remember last year when it got chilly out after dark? That was great! 19804. judithathome - 7/24/2006 4:22:06 PM WC seems to be down...again. 19805. arkymalarky - 7/24/2006 4:40:19 PM Hey, that's right! I'd forgotten about that. 19806. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/25/2006 4:25:49 AM For the Cap'n . . .
 19807. Ms. No - 7/25/2006 4:38:13 AM It's been cooler here in Flower Mound than in Burbank. It was 103 in Burbank yesterday but only 96 in Flower Mound. You know you're in trouble when California is hotter than Texas. Sheesh.
We've been running around like crazy here but we closed the show today --- I'm really proud of it. This is the children's play that my mother and I wrote. Robin Hackett and Tom Cole did the songs for it and now that I've seen it up on its feet I'm thrilled with what we accomplished. I've also got a bunch of notes about how to refine it before we submit it for publication.
Hopefully we'll be able to do one of these every summer -- an original show --- but maybe next time we won't be so under the gun. I think we wrote it in under ten days and then there were two weeks of rehearsal to put up two shows a day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and today and we struck this afternoon. The kids did a great job, but I'm glad my mother was the one to direct. I wouldn't have had the patience for it. ;->
I'm helping build and paint sets tomorrow for their next production which opens this coming weekend, but mostly I'm just gearing up for the par-tay.
Judith, I haven't forgotten that I promised you and Keoni sausage bread Thursday morning! 19808. wonkers2 - 7/25/2006 1:03:24 PM The Cap'n sez, "Great shot!" 19809. Macnas - 7/25/2006 1:53:46 PM Last week came and went pretty quickly, managed to meet up with the Conner band of gypsies, pounding headache from drinking too much of the home-made calvados he kindly brought me, hope they come back again sometime. 19810. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 2:56:49 PM MsNo, that sounds so great! Congrats to you and your mother! 19811. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 2:57:46 PM How cool that you got to meet the Connor Clan, Mac! 19812. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 3:02:39 PM I'm trying--and not succeeding very well--not to be mad at Bob.
We're in a drought here. It hasn't rained at all on our place since early June. Surrounding areas have had rain, but we haven't.
We're on well water. I do not want to go to city water because 1) it's outrageously expensive and 2) it smells and feels like a public swimming pool.
Bob's friend Jim kept up our place while we were gone and fed our dogs. He also left the water on and ran our well down. He got it going right before we got home.
Last night Bob watered his banana trees and elephant ears, and this morning I had no water. He forgot to turn it off.
He's working on getting the well going as I type. I'm resisting the urge to push him into it as I watch him bending over into the well from my window. 19813. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/25/2006 3:06:39 PM Sounds dire, ark–so sorry to hear of your plight. I'll do an industrial-strength rain dance, in my dreams, for you tonight. 19814. Ms. No - 7/25/2006 3:51:01 PM Paging Juditha --- I was in the shower when you called and nobody told me and then I had the wrong number when I tried to call you back.
I just sent you an email but didn't know if you might see this first. Are you free for a musical tonight? We've got an extra ticket to the Dallas music hall -- they're putting on something called Brooklyn which I know nothing about. 19815. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 4:13:53 PM Thanks Wiz! Luckily for us, even in the dryest weather our well has water. The well will fill back up today and Bob will have to re-prime the pump, then we'll have to run some water through to clean it up. It's a pain, but fortunately it's a fixable problem.
We definitely need the rain dance, though. My azalea bushes are dead. Not almost dead--completely dead. I guess I'll just plant some more this spring.
And I promise we'll have plenty of water all weekend, Judith and MsNo!! 19816. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 4:26:25 PM And the good news today is that court was cancelled. This was supposed to be my first day of jury duty. 19817. Jenerator - 7/25/2006 4:53:11 PM Ms.No,
I hope you and your folks are safe from the fire in Flower Mound! 19818. Ms. No - 7/25/2006 5:29:07 PM There's a fire? Wow, we didn't even know. Thanks! 19819. Jenerator - 7/25/2006 5:40:31 PM Ha!
It was all over the news last night about a brush fire in Flower Mound that was very close to a development. Thankfully, the winds were pushing it *away* from the houses!
A good friend of mine lives on Vista St. which is virtually in Flower Mound. 19820. Jenerator - 7/25/2006 5:41:12 PM Arky,
Hope your bash goes well. That is aggrivating about the well. 19821. arkymalarky - 7/25/2006 5:45:53 PM Thanks Jen! We always enjoy it, and it's a good "last hoorah" before school every summer.
The aggravating thing about the well is that it would be just fine if the water isn't left on all night.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.
