A delightful weekend excursion

 

 

  

 

Six friends once again gathered for dinner and games.  Though parted by distance, the bond remains tight as evidenced by smiles and laughter throughout the evening.  This gathering was the catalyst for a delightful weekend excursion.

Debbie was the "grand champion" as she won both Greed and also Five Crowns.

The number 3 was the curse of the evening, while doubles were really hard to come by for everyone.

 
 

At our rest stop in Fillmore, Mike bought some potato wedges.  I think this is his favorite stop on I-15. 

One sad note is that Bev's favorite rest stop, the creamery in Beaver, was closed.  Now, I don't want to lead anyone astray, as we were all disappointed.     

We stayed at this place in Cedar City.  We were happy with the buffet breakfast - definitely a reason to consider coming back.  We also enjoyed the roominess of facility. 




As always, the Green Show, is a highlight of the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City.  FYI, it is called thusly because the patrons sit on grass in the midst of large cedar trees.  Bev and I were fortunate to find a little bench to sit on, which we turned around to face the little stage.   

Performers dance around the maypole, as the little girl steadies it.  Notice the evergreens in the background. 

The dancers presented a 'tour of Italy' for us, and we were delighted with their energetic performance.  Now,for a few photos of the Green Show performance:

An excellent violist, for sure.



Happy dancers.

An appreciative audience.

 



FYI - the little girl never gets wound up with the stringers.

At the end of the Green Show, the student performers gather on the ramp of the Adams theater, a horn is sounded and the crowd begins to enter the main arena.  In my next posting, I will offer my perspective as to the coming demolition of this delightful outdoor theater.  I promise my review will be positive, so be sure to check back in a few days.
