These Pictures Took Over 30 Years To Get

I have been trying to get my Prom Pictures from my High School for years now.  Finally I found a woman who would help me.  I'm so happy.  At some point the school said that I was never a student there.  I graduated from School in Germany and so I did not have the school mail me the correct year books.  I did not know the lay out when they were designing the year books.  Did  not think to ask the school.  I was only a kid and too excited to become an adult to think about things like this.  Or to think that they would even matter in life. 

But as you age these....things.....become very important. 

Post Birthday

A few things have happened since I last wrote.

Opened and Closed a show.  "Our Town". 

It turned out to be glorious.  A big success for Portland Center Stage.  I was very impressed.  A few life altering events happened to and for me during this show.  I have really needed to look within.  Deeply.  These events really hurt my feelings but I think, in the long run, they were all for very special reasons.  I guess I am grateful. 

I have been having a really lovely Birthday Month.  Closing night was a, sort of, private - in my own head Birthday party.  A beautiful Birthday gift from Julio.  One of his magnificent necklaces.  Just what I wanted.  Went to the movies and treated myself to a double scoop of Ice Cream.   Peanut Butter Crunch and Mint Chocolate with a bit of Whipped Cream.  Yummy.  In the dark watching a great movie.  Just like I use to do with my family when I was a kid in San Francisco.  Today I visit my Brother and some of his family for a Birthday celebration.  His first born - Grace.  It's her Birthday today.  I know so many Libra's.  Facebook is loaded with Birthday's in October. 

The leaves are changing but the weather is Summer.  Very strange. 

Getting ready to do Holiday Bazaar's to sell my knits.  Need to start studying for a reading I will be doing. 

Went to church yesterday with Carrie and Gordan and their daughter Laurie.  Had some very important revelations.  Very important.  Loved the newly started choir.  I don't know.  Should I be going to this particular church?  Anyway,  it was a very special day for me personally. 

Thinking about my future.  I feel at peace and looking forward to whatever shape I make of it.  Glad I am not acting at this point.  I place too much on what people think of me.  If I am not an actor I am nothing.  That is what I think.  I have always thought that.  Always.  If I am not an actor what do I have to offer people?
