Star Wars in Concert

Earlier this month John and I attend Star Wars in Concert at Nationwide Arena. It is a concert where a live orchestra and chorus perform music (composed by John Williams) from the six Star War films while a HUGE LED screen is displaying clips of the films. The show was hosted by Anthony Daniels, who was C-3PO in the films. He did quote on of his own lines in C-3PO's voice while showing his gold vest (his character was a gold-colored android). It was a fabulous concert! There were props from the films at different locations around the arena too. Those who attend our wedding reception know we entered to the theme of Star Wars (yes, we are geeks!).

A blurry view of how the films scenes were playing above the large orchestra and chorus.



A frozen Hans Solo prop from the films. I was so crushed as a teenager when the "2nd" film ended with Hans in this condition. He was my favorite character (ok, I had a crush on him). I still have the bubble gum trading card of Hans Solo.


Me in a perilous situation (with a smile on my face).

A Sneak Peek at the House

Since I have finally downloaded photos from the camera to the computer, I am going to post some views of our house. I realized I have not taken very many and not any "Before" photos. Oh well. We have started moving over boxes and small furniture. We are pricing moving companies to move the large furniture next month.

This is the view through the master bedroom window...obviously, taken before all the leaves fell off the trees.
The dining room after we finished painting it. The photo was taken from the kitchen doorway and there is a door to the left that goes into the entryway.

Here is our kitchen which became our main place for everything - tools, papers, etc. Through the doorway (where the black stepladder is) is my studio which is the smallest room in the house. But is it mine with a door to keep out two curious cats.

This is the view of our backyard and beyond from our deck.
