I think we'll have to shut them in a room during the performance.

Tripods, light kits, etc. All over. I tried to carve out a place that looks normal but even the dog is impacted. Her fave sunny spot currently has a green screen by it which she does not like. No sun really anyway with this smoke layer. Ugh. So done with it. <br /><br />Hope your daughter's performance goes well. I know you had mixed feelings about some of it being performed in person but you guys made the right choice. Safety first.

But hurricane winds blew through and whisked it away and a lot of our trees, unfortunately. We were lucky that our area didn't lose power. So many are still without. That cake looks yummy! I enjoyed Hoffman's Practical Magic and have been wanting to read this one for awhile now. I hope you like it.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder. Flu shots. Gotta get those this week for all of us!

I am grateful the studio gave us the option to perform virtually also. I wish they would have opened it up that way to everyone earlier--they might not have had so many cast members drop out when the show was originally postponed. But then, I suppose the studio didn't realize they would be performing this way. Back then, they were still hoping they could perform in front of an audience. What's done is done and all we can do is move forward. <br /><br />You and your family are often in my thoughts! Praying for you all.

The cake tasted good as well. :-) I was a little surprised my daughter was willing to participate virtually while most of her dance friends were in studio, and it was rough that first rehearsal--she felt really left out--but she says wants to do this and so we will. I wish she could be in studio with them. I really do. But both my husband and I were not comfortable with it given our county's COVID-19 status. And honestly, seeing on the computer the kids in the studio without masks and not social distancing . . . Well, I feel more confident about our choice. It's just hard seeing the impact this has on my daughter. My friend (and the mom of the other girl performing virtually) says this is a good lesson for our girls. That sometimes we have to make the hard choices for the sake of our family and health, even if it means going against the crowd--and what our friends are doing.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week too!
