The Chateau.

Woo hoo!!  Saturday morning is here!  I so enjoy the weekends.  

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a play performed by the residents of the community facility where my niece, Tammy, resides.  

This was a murder mystery titled "The Chateau" and it appears that one of the guest had murdered a professor, who was also a guest at the Chateau.  

The cast in the play had all been rehearsing and memorizing their parts for several weeks, and it was clear that there had been a lot of dedication given from each cast member.      

The story unfolded at an elegant Chateau, where a group of intriguing characters gathered for a weekend retreat.  In the dinner hall, while waiting for the meal to be served, the Professor collapsed after taking a drink of his beverage.  A sharp-witted detective was called in to investigate this possible murder  and he was determined to solve the mystery. 

There were accusations and clues planted throughout the narrative, and I will say, the actors did an excellent job at keeping the audience guessing WHO was the guilty one. 

I was so surprised when the detective revealed, that the culprit behind the poisoning of the professor, was none other than "Lizzie," played by my niece, Tam.  She was arrested and hauled away by the police!

Tam portrayed her role with such conviction and humor, and I was so super proud of her.  It was very clear that all of the cast members had poured their hearts into the performance. 

This little play was better than any show on Broadway, because not only did the residents perform with greatness, they did so with courage and determination, OVERCOMING the challenges they face every day.  

Friday was a fun day!! 

We have cold weather today....my sweat shirt says " Coffee Weather" and this is true.  I do love hot chocolate, but it does not love me.  

Hope you all stay warm!!  

Shug..
