The Perfect Gift...

When it comes to gift giving I think I have mastered the art.  Six months ago at Christmastime I was trying to decide what to give Jonathan for Christmas.  I hate "stuff" and we have quite a collection of it so I decided to give him "fun" instead.  The perfect part of my gift giving... I gave him two tickets for "fun" instead of just one.  So, darn it, I had to go along.




And I did, six months later.




It was WELL worth the wait.  With my sister Wendy's help in executing the conniving I got us tickets to the musical Wicked in Sacramento.  She watched the boys overnight and Jonathan and I celebrated Christmas in June.  Might I just say that I absolutely loved the musical.  I was enthralled by it the entire time.  It is amazing how a story I have known my entire life was twisted and turned and became so entertaining. What a walloping fun time.  It was almost as perfect as GGGGGGGG-Linda the good witch ;-)


And how do we make our little stay in Sacramento even better than just a musical?  We throw in a trip to the Sacramento temple and dinner at the firehouse restaurant.  The temple was beautiful.  It was the first time we have visited there.  The entire temple grounds and little "compound" if you will atop the bluff is beautiful.

Dinner was to die for.  I ate many a things I can't pronounce nor can I identify.  But they were really good.  See, aren't I a fabulous gift giver?  I think Jonathan enjoyed his Christmas present almost as much as I did.  If he's lucky we might see a repeat performance next Christmas.

Cool! I love musicals! One that I can't resist seeing when it comes to town is Les Miserables--wow, what a show.
