Today is Thursday
A day of rest in readiness for our drive to CA, bright and early on Saturday morning.
On Friday, Steven and Ravi will be with us to help Papa load the car. I’ve not seen Ravi for a month as she and Celina and Nani Lupe we’re up north at our cabin where Ravi enjoyed her first adventure with acting camp. The children rehearsed a musical comedy at The little Community Theater, five days a week for a month before entertaining their audiences with four performances, last weekend. I loved knowing how eager Ravi was to attend this performance camp where, every day, her happy spirit engaged with children, who became her friends.
Steven, who enjoyed long weekends up north with his family, recorded several moments of Ravi on stage. Once you enlarge the video and locate Ravi (nearest to the sign posts, stage left, back row), keep your eyes on her, and you’ll see her shield her eyes from the stage lights while seeking her daddy and Uncle Scott in the audience. Upon finding them, she’ll wave happily, not once but twice before resuming the routine, which had occupied the attention of her young thespians, and with a final wave, Ravi’s smile will acknowledge her happiness at having devoted family cheering her on.
As for me, though I missed my precious granddaughter while she was up north and had really wanted to watch her perform, my energy level was so low as to suggest it best to place my disappointment aside so as to feel solely restive during those weeks that Ravi’s spirit had interacted so happily with a group of high spirited children, whose cabins are near to our own.
Today, Will and I are one day away from our great CA adventure (no one’s taking our annual family vacation for granted, this year, that’s for sure!) Tomorrow, Will and Steven pack the car. And Saturday—we’re off!
