The place was filled. We had good orchestra seats, of which I was most thankful for. The cast preformed magnificently. I could feel my heart pounding loudly within my chest at the riveting sound of their voices and the moving sensations of the musicians below the stage. I’ve been a fan of the Phantom of the Opera for a long time now. The original Broadway cast recording is a permanent on my MP3 player—but it does not even compare to the experience of hearing it live. Harold Prince does an outstanding job of directing this show, of which is now the longest running show on Broadway. The lead roles of the Phantom and Christine were played by Ramin Karimloo and Gina Beck—both of which offered moving performances. The entire cast, in fact, I found very effective.

As we arrived after 5:00, I was a little worried we would not find a place to pick, but after driving around we arrived at Huckaba’s, 8022 E. Greenbluff, honked the horn as the sign said and before we knew someone came out and said they were open until 6:30.

I talked a few friends into taking the class with us, so the four of us head weekly to the YMCA after nap.

Fall Foliage Train Tour in Beautiful Ione
Fall is my favorite time of year, so when I heard that the North Pond Oreille Valley Lions Club offered a Fall Foliage train tour in September and October, I informed my family that we were going to go. I had never been on a train and I love looking at the different colored leaves [...]
