Anniversary Adventure

First time camping and hurricane Irene just HAD to invite herself. Well thanks to the cleverness of the Campbells (or the sheer terror of the Campbells) we completely out ran her to get to Prince Edward Island. Along the way even though I would like to say purposely, we accidentally stopped at the beautiful little town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire where Jason and I performed with the "In the Mood" national tour at the beautifully restored Music Box Theater. (Restored by my friend Quentin who I went to Ithaca with! Such a small theater world!)

The pictures do not do justice to these beautiful little New England towns that look little Dickens Christmas Villages under the tree. Even in the summer. That was then, this is now:


We ate at The District, and Jason had the tastiest meal. Fried chicken and blueberry waffles. This taste sensation was astounding.

Taking Mama Mo Backstage

The show must go on even without a voice (what you can't see I didn't have in these pictures) and Mama Mo wanted to see the show going on backstage too. The shows are challenging onstage, but it's what happens behind the scenes that takes it to a whole new level. Here we are with the Kents after their full of crazy quick changes guest entertainer program.

Mama Barbie

I have no idea what we are laughing at here, but I swear I'm not trying to claw anyone.

The massive boots I wear under this massive skirt:

So onstage I look like this:

Yesterday Mama Mo and I rode the up to the Mount Roberts Nature Center and had a spectacular view of the harbor and surrounding mountains. Fresh air, evergreens, and eagles, oh my.

A Favorite Birthday

Ummmm...so my birthday was one of the best!!! I don't want to brag but I have to. Somehow my sadness of not being with the hubs on my birthday was countered with the most memorable family and friends day of my life!!!
Starting with high tea on my favorite porch deck in the world:

Baba's painting made it to Victoria! Her presence was present all day.

Thank you to the Porpiglia ladies for creating more Baba "MOments" for me!!!
