Chesapeake Shakespeare is doing weekend performances of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a park in historic Ellicott City during the month of June. Every Sunday performance is a "family performance." They have face painting and a "show before the show." You can bring your own chairs or blanket or use their chairs.
On Father's Day, they are admitting all fathers for free with a child of any age. I would love to do this, and I have emailed Tracy to see if they are interested. If I actually get tickets for us, then I will get the book and Cliff Notes from the library. They also have a version for kids. I will get that too.

Snubbed Again
The owners of the new house next door subbed us again yesterday.
Missy was playing in the backyard with the mini-football. It happened to roll across their new driveway into their front yard.
She ran over to get it.
They came driving (slowly) up the driveway. She waved to them, they drove slowly past, and then she ran back over to our yard.
When the lady got out of their vehicle, I called out, "Sorry about that!"
I don't recall if she even looked up, but she did respond, "That's okay."
I continued to stand there, hoping for a bit more discussion or something. Nope. She got her dog and walked straight into their house.
Oh well. I guess Blucky is right: It's easier this way. We don't have to try to be nice to them.
But it's my nature to be nice.
The other neighbor lady was out with the dog for a few minutes. We waved to each other and said hi. She appears to be pregnant. Probably their first.

Palm Trees
I brought in 3 palm trees this morning and hung them on my wall. All we need now is some sand, and this office will be a beach!

Not Interested
If the all trees are as tall as I am throughout the neighborhood and I can read my neighbor's newspaper while standing in my own house, we aren't interested.
Belief
It is interesting to see how showing belief in a person can dramatically change the tone of the conversation.

He beat her to it
Bucko beat her to it. He wants a separation from Zody and he wants the kids. This is after he has signed the affidavit to allow her to take the kids to Sitarland at the end of this month, but it says this is allowed only if there is no dispute.
Zody got her two PI proposals and the one she CoI-ed. That's three. And money beyond August.
Now what?
Yikes.

Bedside Tables
I'm going to order the matching bedside tables TODAY! I'm so excited.
Mom offered to pay for them for my birthday and our anniversary gifts. Wonderful. Now the Master Carpenter doesn't have to make them. And I can get them in the old color that matches the rest of the set. Yippee!
I called my most local EA and Mary was very helpful. I will call her back today and order 2 bedside tables. Fantastic!
This will "complete" our bedroom set. There are other pieces, but we don't currently have room for them. If I get the bedside tables, I will be thrilled. I wasn't sure I would ever get the set completed, especially after they announced the discontinuation of the color.
Next, a house with a master bedroom I can decorate. Burgundy and light gold? Maybe. Paint the walls something other than white. I hope. New bedding and matching window treatments? I double hope!
