Earlier in our stay we saw the local presentation of "Always, Patsy Cline", featuring Julie Rothschild, a gal I've known from the community chorus. She did a great job, and we thoroughly enjoyed the latest Arts Center improvement, a new room with permanent stage and elevated theatre type seating (replacing the old arena where folding metal chairs were the seating choice!). The new area was a part of an adjacent restaurant/bar which has now become folded into the Arts Center renovation, a 3-yr. project. The new theater room has recently been improved even more by elevating the stage to a level where there's not a bad seat in the house!
On Aug. 15 we were a part of the enthusiastic audience for the last performance of "Hear Us Dance," the combined clogging & bellydancing show. We were delighted to again see Mary Nettleton, the only blind clogger, and little Zoe Worthen, who at 10 yrs. is a real bellydance pro. This year Zoe danced solo (last year her Mom did a duo with her) and held the audience spellbound with her exotic costume & dance routine. She is breathtakingly beautiful, and at this young age, already has the ability to use her eyes as well as her movement to enchant her viewers.
We've enjoyed several fish frys in the canopied area behind the clubhouse, traditionally a potluck event, sometimes with homemade ice cream dessert, but always with lots and lots of good food and good company.
One day before some of the folks had to go back in time for Texas school opening in August, two carloads of the ladies went to Freemons Ranch for lunch. Freemons is known for their great hamburgers, onion rings, and ice cream; their reputation is well deserved. Needless to say, we made a dent in their inventory! That's me standing at the back, in red.
