April

By April the girls were well into tech rehearsals for Fiddler on the Roof. Ana was astonished and honored that she was chosen to be on headsets as "deck lead" on stage right! Joyce joined her there, and they kept the sets and props moving with two other folks (most of the time) throughout the show. At the end of the run of the show, they took a ton of pictures at the cast party.

They saw another show, The Scarlet Pimpernel, this time at Joyce's school, with two more fellow thespians, one of Joyce's schoolmates, and Dorothy from their days in Wizard of Oz!  Small world, that we get to see her again after three-plus years!

Passover week stretched from Monday to Sunday (Easter Sunday this year). Nana had her first-night seder (the seder table at right), and then Ana sang with the musical worship team at the congregation's seder.

During Joyce's Spring break from school, the gals went to Disney country. They flew out right after the congregational seder, right after Joyce put away the last prop for the Fiddler performance, and they spent three days at The Land, The Adventure, and The Mall! (see the pictures)

May

May was a busy month. At Temple we were busy organizing the Western Region conference of all our sister congregations in Sacramento. It ended Sunday of 
Mothers Day weekend, so we had a nice brunch to celebrate the end of our 
labors. 

Ana  interviewed for a new position at work, and was selected above 
all the other candidates. For the first time in 8 years she is going to 
be working in a totally different department! And that of course 
means .... another move (oh no!!)

At the end of the month, they celebrated with 40 or 50 of their best friends from
the theatre with a party for three young men, turning 21, 22 and 30! They had a
wonderful time staying up all night, watching movies, and ended Sunday afternoon
by watching Shrek II on opening weekend. 

June

June is the end of school, and the beginning of summer activities. Ana & Joyce spent half a Friday with the HP Choir's final performance for the season, and then went to see the Art Deco exhibit in San Francisco at the Legion of Honor.

After that was a fun dinner at the Beach Chalet restaurant, and a walk thru one of the gardens in Golden Gate Park.

What a Lovely California Day!!
