Sewing, Cutting, and Lots of Name Tags

Hello all!!!

I just finished my first full day "on the job"... which was more like prep work for when we actually leave on tour, which is Thursday...

I woke up at around 10:30...having gone to bed pretty late... and decided to try and find Neesa.... after wandering around the house and talking with Neesa's mom, I found Neesa and Christina (a new found friend and crew member :-) ) discussing what we had to do for the day...

so... after some lunch we went out to town to print some stuff and buy some stuff at Michael's that we needed for props and such... (we also went to Bloom's to buy the ingredients for Neesa's moms Strawberry Pie, which I heard is pretty good... looking forward to having some tomorrow.. :-D )

Then we came back to the house to get started on the work... I was given the task of cutting out the circular name tags with each crew members name. I started out cutting with a circular cutter...but just ended up cutting them by hand.... which took pretty much the whole day...but i didn't mind... :-)

Neesa was working on sewing some last min. curtains and shirts and Christina was laminating some luggage tags and as I finished cutting the name tags she laminated those too...

We were just sitting and enjoying the company and talking about some of their past tour experiences..... which I hope to be able to partake in next year... :-)

We then had an excellent dinner made by Neesa's mom... Turkey, Stuffing, Gravy, Peas, and Applesauce.... boy was it good!!! :-)

Then we went back to work and finished around 10:00 p.m. So all in all the day was a success.

It was actually really fun cutting out the name tags because I got to see the names of all the crew I would be working with this summer.... and I just wondered what all of them were like.... I can't wait to meet them and hopefully have fun and develop great friendships with them this summer!!

5 days til we leave!!! the countdown begins!

thanks again for reading!!!
