Here is a photo from the balcony scene in The Front Lawn Players' production of Romeo and Juliet. Did you know there is no balcony written into the original Shakespeare play? The stage direction calls for Juliet to be at a window. The famous balcony developed over time and may well be the most famous piece of scenery in all of Shakespeare!

I can't imagine a more beautiful Juliet.

How beautiful! How lucky you are to live in an area so rich with the arts. You are so fortunate to have that availability!

Look at their beautiful costumes! That's interesting about the balcony. I didn't know that.

Dear Alice,
It is almost Christmas and if I was more organized I could trust myself to wish you Merry Christmas on the day itself. Alas, I am not. So Merry Christmas! Although we have not met and corresponded only briefly, you and your family have been frequently in my thoughts through the years. I have turned to your metaphors, advice and encouragement through the good and challenging times of motherhood and life. Often I am shoveling while it snows. Often I am multiplying my children's ages by two. Often I am bustling my children out last minute to say the rosary in the garden. It is all thanks to you. You have given me a vision I strive for and I thank you.
Many blessings and love,
Genevieve
