Driving back to Pittsburgh after a lovely week in New York. Renee gave Steve a birthday party, taking all of us to see Guys and Dolls. It was a great treat. I enjoy being with Charna at a performance; she always get so involved. She performed in the play several years ago and remembered all of the lines. I find that I enjoy these revivals of old musicals much more than the new ones. I loved South Pacific when we saw it last year. Guys and Dolls is right up there. In a real way these are our operas. I don't see why they don't bring back all of those old musicals. We need a New York Musicalia along with the Metropolitan Opera and New York City Opera.
Pennsylvania is a very large state. Sometimes it feels like we're driving forever. It's sunny today with a very cold wind, bitter when we got out of the car in Allentown. Trees are just beginning to get buds, but the grass is green. There were forsythia and magnolia blossoms in NJ but I haven't seen any here.
We made the trip in record time--not much traffic today. I'm back home with laundry to do and mail to sort.
Glad you had a great visit....

Oh, that sounds like fun. I have several of the old musicals I'd love to see again. The Princess and the Pea. What fun. Musicals, what fun. Welcome home. :)

Hummm, I like Guys & Dolls too. I'm wondering which part Charna played? Adelaide perhaps? I love all the music from that play.
