I think Spring is finally here! Most of the snow has melted. It rained most of last week, but today the sun is shining. :)
SCHOOL
It really was a tough road getting through this past semester. Grades were officially posted last Friday. I am thrilled to announce I got A's in my classes!
Woo Hoo!!
The new semester starts next week, which means I need to read the first couple of chapters in the textbook. Here I go again!
STITCHY STUFF
I'm still plugging away at LK's ABC Lessons. Here's my progress:
THE DEVINERS
The "new guy" and I went to a play being put on by the college's theater department. At first, neither of us thought it would be very good. Most plays are put on "representational style" which means actors interact with each other and the audience becomes a passive viewer of the experience. This play was presented in "presentational style". You can read more about it HERE.
The play itself was set in a small farm community during the depression. Water and faith are in short supply. A charismatic but back-sliding preacher drifts into town and meets a gentle but misunderstood boy with the gift of divining or water-witching. The two outcasts find a common bond and help each other divine for truth, faith and hope. The townspeople try to get the preacher return to a way of life he no longer believes in and it drives both to a crisis of trust. It's an earthy, funny, poignant and profoundly tragic play has echoes of John Steinbeck’s classic depression era work. The characters are simple but good people searching for hope and something to believe in.As it turned out, the play was very good once you got used to the presentational style.
ST PATRICK'S DAY
At work today, we had a potluck to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We celebrated 2 days early because several people would've been out of the office on St. Patrick's Day. I made fruit salad from a recipe Debra shared on her blog. She was right when she said the recipe makes a LOT. I ended up freezing 2/3 of the salad. It was really tasty, but next time I think I'll leave out the blueberries as they turned everything blue, lol.

I keep seeing that you are working on the Japanese Garden. Now I finally take the time to see what it will look like. No wonder it's taken you this long. It's really intricate. It will be so lovely hanging up! Beautiful piece.
Good for you on grades. Hang in there! It's for the better.

That is strange. When I read your blog this morning it didn't have the play or the salad on it. Glad you like the recipe.
Sounds like you had a nice time. Your fruit salad looks great.

I had no doubt you'd get A's in your classes...great going!
Didn't think you would get less than an A, well B's are good too! We've been enjoying sun and warm temps too! Just seems to be rainy and cold on the weekends. It's ok, because you can't do anything outside right now anyway. The LK piece looks nice, just wondering when JG is gonna see the light of day........
Had faith that you would do good in your exams.
