It Was a Good Day--I Went To a Party!!

     I attended a great party yesterday evening given by my pottery class instructor. I think this was a lovely thing for him (and his wife) to do. Both are artists and their place is filled with their work. Everyone had a great time--I know I did. We all ended up sitting in their flower-filled fragrant garden (very like My Secret Garden). Some of us even ate out there.  It was nice to get a chance to really talk to the folks who took the class. To think I almost missed this :-(  I'm thankful to my friend for calling me and giving me the nudge I needed. Hugs, J! 

I had just come from NYC where I saw The Constant Wife with Lynn Redgrave (yah!) and Kate Burton, who was just fantastic. The play is wonderful. The Constant Wife was written by Somerset Maugham(sp?) and the action takes place in the early 1920's and is about adultry. I continue to be surprised that books and movies from the 20's are still relevent and often so on target. I won't give any of the plot away in case someone is planning to see it. It is funny, sexy and well worth the theater cost.  While watching the play I remembered how much I used to enjoy reading Somerset Maugham. I had to read him in high school, later I read him because I loved his writing. 

This drawing room comedy also made me think of my old theater group, there were four of us and my guess is that two of us would have loved this show :-) while the other two would not have totally hated it  :-(   they surely may have wanted to know "where's the hoofing?". These are good memories and were good times. They bring a smile to my face.

It really was a good day.
