It’s wonderful to be bathed in music from the moment we awaken until going asleep. As we walk towards the kitchen we pass several practice cabins, which contain a electronic piano and here the singers practice on there own and sometimes with a teacher, although the majority of coaching is done in the 6 large practice rooms. The walk is wonderful as different people are singing different songs or warming up the vocal throat.

Concealed Hand Gun Class

We both attended the class on Saturday, 8th March 2008. It was held in El Campo, Texas and was most informative. the instructor (Dickie) kept the class of 11 amused and very attentive, on what could have been a boring aspect. as it was it was most informative, enjoyable and of interest. After the classroom aspect we all fired off 50 rounds a piece at targets varying in distance. The score needed was over 175 out of 250 and Cassandra scored 242 and Robert 236, once again proving that beauty over brawns wins. No we don’t have any firearms, although now we can carry a gun concealed if we choose to and want to, legally and with safety and security in mind.
Since writing this we have now both purchased side arms and both the same except Robert’s is Black and Cassandra’s is NATO Green, they are Smith and Wesson 9mm semi automatic.


Community Theatre Victoria Texas

We both have been involved with the theatre in Victoria and really enjoy our time there. For a community theatre it truly is outstanding, it’s equally as large and as grandeur as any theatre in Broadway, it’s awesome. The lighting, the sound box, backstage is huge and state of the art. The auditorium is so warm and comfortable, with purple seating, our favourite colour, I feel very much at home and so comfortable here, I can’t wait until I get an opportunity to be on stage. The green room is fantastic, for none theatre people the green room is the actors and actress change room’s and relax area.
Currently we are showing “I Love You, You Are Perfect, Now Change” a musical comedy. We both are working and I use that word loosely as Ushers, plus we see the show as well.
All the people we have met at the theatre are so warm and great, Scott the resident Director is so full of energy and his qualifications are enormous, I wonder why he is in Victoria. Grace the overall person in charge is also wonderful, along with everyone else, I love being involved. Whenever we leave Victoria it’ll be very sad to leave behind the theatre and a great bunch of sincere, loving people.
