A Wonderful Life in Roanoke

The past couple of days have included a lot of friends, family, and eating! Becca came to town. We all walked arm in arm to the restaurant and home, sheilding the wind and cold. We had a wonderful dinner and conversation...I could have talked for hours more.

Friends came to town the next day. We were all gathering to drive down to Roanoke to see our friend perform in A Wonderful Life. The drive was beautiful, we were guided by the mountain range. We were constantly laughing...the kind of hard laughter that is silent and makes you cry... the laughter that only comes from years of knowing someone and feeling comfortable. It was so nice to be around close friends. A warm feeling, a constant warm hug, one that makes you smile.

A Wonderful Life was well, wonderful. The music and singing were difficult yet the actors and actresses all played their parts extremely well. Some of us got teary eyed at the end. It is such a wonderful story with a meaningful and important message.

We walked around the streets of Roanoke. They were decked in holiday color, lights, and decoration. It was a great way to ring in the Holidays.
