Wow! What a weekend!

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days....They really keep us busy. That is a great thing because it keeps me from missing my friends and family too much!

Saturday was great. We had a break in the morning, rehearsals in the afternoon and then dinner with Mike Dominguez, the General Manager of the resort. This has been one of my favorite activities yet. They served us a delicious 5 course meal including a chocolate dessert that was the best thing I have tasted in days!...Don't they know we have a bathing suit to get into next week! As part of the festivities we all presented him with gifts representing our states! As luck would have it, mine were still on a UPS truck somewhere in Tucson....They finally arrived yesterday!

Sunday, we started the day with the Mayor of Tucson, Bob Walkup. He is a dear man with such a glow. Tucson has welcomed us with such hospitality....If they could just turn down the heater a little! I am not sure I could ever adapt to this weather!

The afternoon was rehearsal with Frit and Frat (I have been calling them Frick and Frack...Oops!). They keep adding more to the dance... heeeeelllllpppp!!!! I just wish I had gotten a little more of my sister's rhythm......Diane keeps telling me not to worry and she has really been working with me! Thanks, roomie!

Later that evening, we went to a AAA baseball game for the Sidewinder's. It was fun, even though I am not a huge baseball fan. The highlight of the night was singing the National Anthem in front of everyone at the game. That is something I never dreamed I would get to do because I can't sing at all. We got home a bit early tonight because Monday was a day full of activities!





Monday started early with a trip to the Old Tucson Studios. It is actually a working movie studio! We watched cowboys do a show with stunts, one of them is from Utah! After a train ride around the park, that is me with the conductor, we were treated to a saloon type of show where 8 of the contestants had volunteered to learn the "Can Can".....Not me! They performed for us and did a great job!

Next our tour took us to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum where we got to see all of the wildlife of Arizona. It was extremely hot outside today! I did alright because of the advice of my wonderful director, Diane Ritter who said "drink a lot of water!" She is right!~ It was much easier to tolerated the heat. Now we are off the dinner and a 3 hour rehearsal.

Tuesday, I will participate in the golf challenge and then we have rehearsal and a relaxing BBQ tonight! More later! I love you all...Drennan
