Tonight is the opening night of the play 7 brides for 7 brothers at TVCC. My daughter is the "set maker"- I know she has a "title" but i don't know right now what it is. I am here baby-sitting Bi, he is very sleepy, but it is only 6:30, so I will let him stay up longer. so as he is staying up, I help clean up the babies room pick up toys, help put away some clean clothes, run the dishwasher, run another load of laundry, boy time goes by fast, it now 5 to 8p. good, time to put Bi down, now he is sleepy and he wants to go to sleep, but he doesn't want to go to bed, but down he goes with crying for a few minutes and then, sleep comes.
oh yes back to the opening night... Chrisy took the Ai & Ei. Ei told me that she "had" to go with mom to the college and they would go in the red car. Ei is happy to be "going" I hope she can set still for the play, can't wait to hear how it went. Oh, Big papa,oma, Lisa and her boyfriend will meet them there.
I have seen this play at TVCC once before, long ago... anyway.
This story is very dear to Chrisy and I. when Chrisy was around 7 years old, I rented this move, took it back rented something different, the next weekend we had to rent 7 brides for 7 brothers again. Now this went on for quite a few weeks, got me to thinking, I could have bought this move by now! So to the store we go and buy the move, we watch it to this day. Lisa when she was younger, around seven too, she always wanted to watch the "dancing move" all the time. We have gotten our moneys worth I should say!
One year after being at a family reunion in Laural MT. oma, Chrisy, around 12yrs old, and I coming home, oma could not stay awake driving, but we did not want to stay at a motel, so we started reciting lines from the move, we started at the beginning and went all the way to the end singing and all, that was some fun times! oh ya we made it home safe and sound too.
Now 20+ years later Chrisy is putting this play set together. who would have thought?
