12-18-21 Luke I am your Nana
I had told the board of the theatre that I would ask my grandsons to shovel snow from the walkways and sidewalks. Since there was a winter snow warning I realized I had better make a plan. I will be away the next two days so it was even more imperative to make a plan. I talked to Rae first and she agreed Lukas would be the perfect one to take it on. I texted him and made a plan for when he would be back from sledding and I would be there at the end of the show run through I was invited to. He is such a good boy!
I shoveled my way out to go to the show. I am impressed with the work the guys have put in and they are only half way there. It was great to see Thom meeting with the director and set designer in anticipation of building the set. After rehearsal Duncan met with the costumer. Things are on the move forward. A producer’s dream
Lukas showed up as soon as I texted him and I supervised him doing the first snow cleaning and we negotiated a reasonable flat rate. While we were out there a guy stopped to talk to us and offer his services as he really wants to get involved with the theatre. He told me some of his skill set and I suggested he get a membership online and then I will have his information and will reach out to him for set building. What a great way to recruit, lol.
I got home from the theatre to shovel for the second time today. I dropped off the things I had purchased and then headed to the Hockey game.
It is Lukas’s 12th birthday on Monday so I brought him his gift to the game. His other grandparents also conspired and went to get them to announce his birthday during the game. He was so very happy. It was the teddy bear toss game so when the first goal from our side was scored everyone started tossing. It is so much fun to watch and take part in. The game had some crazy penalties and injuries and we just barely won in the last period. The next game is also against the Trail Smoke Eaters on New Years Eve so that promises to be a lot of fun.
I returned home to shovel once again, about he same amount as each of the previous times. It seems to have tapered off a bit. I feel better about heading out tomorrow. I do have a 3.5 hour drive that includes going over Kootenay Pass which I am not going to did you, has scared me in the past. I once did it in a fog bank, on my motorcycle, that was so thick I could only see two dotted lines at a time. I had hypothermia by the time I got to Cranbrook. This will not be the same. I have my list of safety gear to take, just in case and am looking forward to seeing my friends from long ago and my client who has become a friend.
One of the things I discovered I appreciate about Arby’s, besides their chicken nuggets, is the roof over the order spot so snow doesn’t come in!
