Tommy Tune Benefit Show and Valentines cupcakes


Allan and I attended this Benefit show for the Summer Theater of New Canaan. It is the theater company we worked for last summer. Tommy Tune is a Broadway legend and has won 9 Tony awards. He was amazing at almost 70 years old he sings and dances like a dream. So great! We had a fabulous time and enjoyed a party before and after the show. After the show Tommy himself came out and chatted with all of us. Tommy remember Allan and me and said that my dancing was fantastic. That was nice to hear. He is such a sweet man and I was pleased to meet such a legend. Allan looked snappy in his suit and I got to finally pull out this jacket I got years ago and paired it with a blue silk dress. We had a fabulous night out on the town.

This is inside the party. The center piece was pretty dramatic.

Tommy with Allan. Tommy is so tall. That is part of what he is famous for.

That is Melody (director of Music Man) and Doug (choreographer of Music Man)

We all just hung out and chatted. I also got to catch up with all the Music Man peeps.

We had a relaxing V-day. We just did whatever came to mind. We even had a fabulous V-day lunch instead of dinner to beat the crowds and had a wonderful conversation. Later that night we made red velvet and cream cheese frosting cup cakes (with strawberries). Yummy!

During our Christmas visit to CA, we went to Baker's beach to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Welcome...

Yes, yes, we realize we're jumping on a bandwagon....but come on, it's just so much fun! How else can you turn yourself or your family into instant celebrities?! Or make everyone else think you have a perfect life...

Anyway, welcome to our newest addition! It doesn't cry or need attention. And no diaper changing. Whatever we tell it to do, it does (until the computer crashes). And we can sleep in on Saturday.

Well, life is good. We live in Connnecticut. You know, the place about which Glenn Close's character in the Stepford Wives said, "Where in America could a whole town of robots go unnoticed? Connecticut!"

Allan is working as a Landscape Designer and Corinne is working as a Singer/Dancer/Actress! We have the greatest church ward this side of the Mississippi - lots of big active families and our chapel is only 2 miles away. Allan serves as the 11 year old primary teacher and Blazer leader, and Corinne is the YW Personal Progress Leader. There are hundreds of young people in our ward, so it's busy!

Browse our recently added pictures, slideshows, and posts. We'll do our best to keep it updated.

There is a big balloon parade put on by UBS, and they set everything up just outside our balcony -- cool!
