My Fair Lady and Paco

Had the most loverly of loverly days yesterday.  For Christmas I had bought my daughter, Katie, and myself tickets to see "My Fair Lady" at the Arizona Broadway Theater.  My daughter and I enjoy seeing musicals together (since the Redneck won't go with me) but this is the first time we had been to a dinner theater.  It was so nice.  They didn't allow cameras in but here are some shots from the website:

We first had a wonderful meal.  Kate had the vegetarian which was risotto with Parmesan, portabellos and asparagus and I had the NY strip with shrimp.  The meal was amazing and the service impeccable.  After dinner we ordered a chocolate cheesecake that was served during intermission. 

Neither one of us had seen the play before so it was a lot of fun to see it together.

On to Paco:

Last week a friend brought over a huge supply of sewing/craft things that her mother had had for years.  They had been clearing out some of the old things in her home and were going to take everything to Goodwill.  I was the recipient of the craft/sewing things!  I called my sweet friend Connie and she and I went through everything and sorted out who gets what.  I'm happy to tell you, no blood was shed and hair was not pulled.  We're mature like that.

I got most of the sewing supplies including some wonderful vintage hand embroidered pillow cases and Connie took the yarn.  There was some lovely aqua colored yarn and I pointed out that I thought I needed an octopus in that color.  I have no idea why I needed an octopus, I just wanted one at that moment.  Sweet Connie met up with me on Friday night with a crocheted octopus.  I just love him and I can't believe she did it so quickly!

His name is Paco and I love him so very much.  He makes me deliriously happy.  Thank you again Connie, you know I love you!
