On May 12th we headed to Stratford ,Ontario where we booked into the Arden Hotel for a night. After an excellent repas of all freshly prepared food, we set off to experience the live performance of GUYS and DOLLS at the Festival Theatre. It was very uplifting. We topped the eve off with dessert in the hotel pub. I selected cherry pie because it has been years since I dared have a piece. I was most delighted.
The following morning we slept in a bit and then had a nice brunch in our room, made up of goodies hubby brought from nearby. We packed up out overnight stuff , checked out and headed over to the Festival Theatre for the matinee of Twelfth Night. It was a stellar performance. Buddy always amazes me with his insights and observations.The trip home came too fast. We shall go again soon to see more.
While at the Festival Theatre both Buddy and hubby bought some great DVD's of other performances that included The Tempest, King Lear, Hamlet along with Anthony and Cleopatre. We watched those over time. They just make us love the Festival productions even more.
On May 27th we were at the symphony in the lovely glass hall to hear Beethoven's 7th symphony. It was a concert that led us into the city by subway and Buddy loves that mode of travel as a change. Of course the performance was outstanding.
Check out my other blog to learn what we did in June.
In July we hope to travel to N.Y to see family. It is a month of many birthdays for us both at home and away.
I am so happy for Buddy that he gets to see and enjoy all these plays and songs . sounds like a wonderful time was had by all... the perfect family outing.. while I read all the shows you saw I was thinking of what Bob and I were watching yesterday on TV and wondering if Buddy would like what we did. I put all three of the Bruce Willis Die Hard movies on the DVR trying to keep bob settled down. does buddy like those kinds of movies?
ReplyDeleteYou are keeping busy having fun!!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful that you have such a variety of great venues to enjoy. I too am glad to now that Buddy is enjoying them, too. Thank you for your many thoughtful comments on my posts; it means a lot to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteDear Heidrun, It's wonderful that you and your husband and Buddy go to so many concerts and plays and are enjoying your life together. Like DJan, I want to thank you for visiting my blog so regularly and leaving comments. I appreciate them greatly. You have a hard-won wisdom because I think of all the physical problems you've dealt with and I so admire your attitude toward life. Peace be to you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! And I love your variety of words to express how wonderful, exciting, amazing the performances were. I'll keep some of yours (stellar, uplifting, spectacular, etc.) to use rather than the old, boring ones I usually use. LOL. Hope you don't mind....
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you all out and about. Our winters are so cold and long that once the nice sunny and warm weather comes along we really need to "go out to play."
Will check out your other blog. I don't think I knew you had another one.
Hugs
This sounds like a lot of fun! You are busy in such a wonderful way! And I agree with Dee's comment. Your attitude toward life is inspiring. Love and hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely time. Perfect for this time of year. Nice to 'see' you are keeping busy!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful time in May and June. My idea of a great time. I didn't realize Louis Riel's story has now been set to an opera. I saw the very moving play set in Batoche so many years ago. It was a spectacular 3D event. It sounds like you've got a very busy July lined up with loved ones. Enjoy every bit. Hugs. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi, Sorry I haven't done a good job keeping up with you lately.... Just so you know, we had a real tragedy in our family recently... You'll have to read my blog post from Last Monday and from today.. Prayers are needed for my son....
ReplyDeleteLove,
