Back in Boise

I went to work in Boise for 3 weeks. It was a whirlwind.

One week of writing, one week of rehearsing, one week of performances.

Also, a movie-within-the play to shoot in the middle of all that!

Me on location. I kept the dress.

So lucky to work with some of my favorite people.

Leah and Kristy.

Matt.

Dwayne.

Trudie.

I was supposed to hang out at the bottom of the river.

But I couldn't stay down there. I'm just too buoyant!

I was there for Rafferty's first day of kindergarten. It's only fitting, since the last time I was there was for his birth! Next time college?

I hope I don't have to wait that long. I have to hang out with Mathilde one more time!!

Anna's Wedding

We were invited to 4 weddings this summer. But we went to two each, separately.

Jason went to Mike and Jes's and Matt and Natalie's.

I went to Anna and Dieter's in August.

So sweet, so simple.

Ceremony in the park across the street from their house, reception in their backyard.

Her brother roasted an entire pig in the garage!

North East Minneapolis.

A little California

I went to Berkeley for 10 days in August. Always good to go home.

For the first time though, it felt silly to travel without Jason.

He's coming with me next time.

One of the highlights was the Alameda Flea Market.

I got a Bakelite bracelet and David got... an eagle. Of course.

We also went to a really cool art thing in Oakland. We were almost cool enough to be there, but not quite...

Milly & Tillie Chapter

Last Milly & Tillie show today...

and THEN.

As soon as I got back on American soil, I got swept away to Duluth, MN for the 4th of July weekend! I had never been before, and I was being a big snob thinking "how is a lake going to amaze me?" So i packed too many red, white and blue dresses and shoes, and we got on the road.

And then, I was amazed.

Lake Superior, in all its sunset glory.

The view is made even more beautiful with crazy-good malts.

I got banana-vanilla, and Jason got marshmallow-fudge. Whaat?

And yes, those are cherries. And wafers.

Happy 4th.

Home

After Prague, I had 4 days in Paris.

Not long, but enough to see family, and take a couple of walks.

Best part was, I stayed with Maroussia.

We had yummy petit-dejeuners, and painted our nails in her bed while looking at videos on her iPad.

CZ

Back from Europe! Been a few weeks already.

I read other people's blogs, but I don't update my own!

We performed Why We Laugh in Terezin, and Prague.

It was incredible. Met Elly and Felix's 3 children, and Pavel Stransky, who co-wrote the cabaret. He bowed with us, and I cried. It was hot, and amazing.

Walked around in Prague. It's like a little Paris. A little, colorful Paris.
