Hey everybody out there in blog land! Boy howdy, have I been super busy lately! We open Dorothy in Wonderland this Friday at Milam Community Theater as our summer youth production. I’m the technical director and designer on that, and man it has been a blast!
Sue Ann has come with me and gotten pictures of us trying to figure out where to put the set. We have some great kids in the cast and helping me on tech and a great team of volunteers to tie the ends! Plus there’s my day job, which has really picked up the pace, but it has been a whole lot easier to keep up with since the installation of our new planning and scheduling system. With anything new, it takes some time to get used to it, and to learn about it, but as the days go on I see that I am more and more thankful for it! It is so much easier to keep up with what’s going on when I can look at it in an online planner rather than calling Lee, Sue Ann, or someone else 30 times to get reminders on what we were working on and my role in it.
Which Brings us to Siding!

Check out that big lift! It’s a very tall house! The lift I use at the theater is only about half that size. Kudos to them going up in that thing! I sure wouldn’t do it!
Siding repairs are having to be done out there at my little piece of Texas, The Lady Rattlesnake. We had a bad storm that came through several months ago and it really did a number on the siding. When the adjuster came out, we found out that the siding had not been secured properly around the windows, so the wind just grabbed it and ripped it almost completely off. One side of the house’s siding would just flap in the breeze. Thanks to our insurance agent, Cody, and his Choice Builders crew, my Lady Rattlesnake is getting a much needed face-lift!
And Oh! Ain’t she lovely! Once the old siding was pulled off, Cody found a lot of rotten wood from where the siding had been loose enough around the windows to let rain in. That made us really sad, but that is getting fixed as well. I am very happy with the progress and this side will be finished today or tomorrow. They are sure working hard on getting it done. I really appreciate that!
