Finishing Up the Holidays...Spamalot...

Well, all good things must end as the saying goes. We drove Katelyn home Friday, January 2. We had dinner with Nissa and Todd and looked at all the great improvements they have made to their home. Saturday we drove to Chelsea and had lunch with Jake. He knew of a new Mexican restaurant in Chelsea so we tried that and it was great. Then we walked to the chocolate shop newby and got a little dessert for the road. Then my hubby endulged my need to go to the Teddy Bear Factory. They make the Gund teddy bears here. The monkey you see named Wah Wah that Bailey holds while enjoying her thumb and the cow named Sally you see with Hayden sometimes both came from here. I purchase 2 stuffed animals for my collection: an elephant and a turtle. I know the grandmonsters will enjoy these additions to the Gramma toys when they visit. Then Claude and I hurried on home before the storm came.
Claude and I finished our holiday season with a trip to the theater. We went to Cincinnati this time to the Aronoff Center to see SPAMalot. It was a total delight. We had seats 4 rows from the stage in the center. The play is based on the Holy Grail with Monty Python humor and sketch things added throughout. They even threw in a few one-liners from current events. Several of the actors were from the Broadway run. You could tell they were all having a good time. And that close up you could see them exchange grins with each other over things that happened. It was a great play, a little baudy in places but we really had a great time.
