A few of my Favorite Things

Ok. A little off track from Project 365 but I will be back on that soon. Here is a picture from an event that Paul took Lindsay to a few weeks ago. It was "An Evening with Julie Andrews". A benefit dinner and silent auction where the proceeds went to the Boys and Girls Club of KC. Paul had two tickets. I would have loved to have gone but I offered the chance to Lindsay. She was thrilled to meet the Queen from "The Princess Diaries". She has also seen "Mary Poppins" and The Sound of Music" many times. She called me after dinner to tell me how things were going. She was disappointed that the guest of honor had yet to arrive. She was even a bit more crushed that there would be "no pictures or meeting her. We just get to see her on stage." After I finished with Lindsay I spoke with Paul. He informed me that obviously Lindsay was unaware but that they would be part of an exlusive meet and greet after the show. He told me when they got home that the people who went backstage were lined up and went through one room to wait in another for their turn to meet Julie Andrews. Everyone in line was mostly our age or older. Some younger but all adults. (Keep in mind that tickets to this event sold for $300 each and the meet and greet was not available at all to the public. It was invite only.) Lindsay was the only child in line. When the entered the room where Julie Andrews was, Paul said that she zeroed in on Lindsay. They chatted for a few minutes before lining up for the photo. You can see Lindsay's smile. She was thrilled. While I am sorry I didn't get to go myself, I am so glad that Lindsay had the opportunity. It is something she will never forget.
