Marie and I had a good time going to the play in Cannon County yesterday afternoon. Tonight's photo shows that we even saw a few barns on the way there and our return trip. The play was very well done and stuck very closely to the Agatha Christie short story that I had read prior to going. The story that I had read was titled, Three Blind Mice. When it became a play the name was changed to Mousetrap, as there was conflict with another play being named Three Blind Mice. I enjoyed seeing it and knowing "who done it" because that way I could concentrate on other details and not have to figure out the plot, etc., too. We both thought that it was well done. It was full of red herrings...so lots of twists and turns to confuse one as to who exactly was the murderer! This play holds a record in England of runnning continuallly since 1952 except for Covid stopping it...it picked right back up as soon as allowed after Covid. In England the audience is asked to not reveal the outcome to others after they have seen it, in order to keep the ending a surprise. We were not asked ot keep the ending a secret. Anyway...good play...if you like a good mystery...a classic by the queen of mysteries...Agatha Christie. I have stayed around the house today doing one thing or another. I gathered all the Christmas ornaments together and have them on my cutting board awaiting the next step which will take them to the ironing board. There are a total of 25 ornaments for me to finish. I started working on this coming Sunday's Sunday school lesson as I am going to teach. I put away the straglers that I'm not going to use of the Fall decorations. I also found a place for my new suitcase...which means that I am finally totally unpacked and back to pretrip conditions around the house...no signs now of having taken a trip recently. I have to get going on my part in a party towards the end of the month. Marie's children are throwing her a birthday at our church and I am one of the go-betweens since they don't live here in town. A few of us need to get to working on a few more details since October is in plain sight now! Days are flying by! When I sat down this afternoon I did a little more stitching just to relax. I guess I relaxed too much as I took a couple of naps that weren't intended, but did get a little more done on the sampler that I am working on. I am still working on the same one...haven't picked up the other one that I have underway, also. This one is so easy and relaxing since it is done all in one color and the fact that after a short time working on a border, I have it memorized so not much looking at the chart. But it is big and it will be a loooooong time till I finish it so I need to move to another one that has a better chance of getting finished sooner than later! This evening I went to prayer meeting so now it is time to settle in for a relaxing evening. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
