Toddle Time

I was at the gym and decided to look in at the indoor playground (as it's usually empty when I'm there) and what do I find? George Donnelly and family.

Living Nativity

On December 22, 2001, Colonial presented a live nativity on the front lawn. It was extremely cold. You will see in the cast photo below several familiar faces – Frances, Cindy, Hayden, Stacy, me, Holly, Mom. Stacy was narrator and not in costume. We thought Mom looked a bit like Yoda.

We Are Not Alone Anymore

The Bell Choir now has more non-Morgans than Morgans so no longer a family choir. Good to have more participants.

Astro Botanicals

A Reprise

It was great to see "Les Miserables" again. It may be my favorite show and after working it so many times it was nice to just be in the audience, with Stacy and Joseph. I did miss the turntable stage but it was still excellent.

Sleeping Children

Norman Rockwell's "Sleeping Children" was created for Hallmark in 1951, so it seemed appropriate for me to show here. Rockwell's collaboration with J.C. Hall is the subject of an exhibit currently at the Hallmark Visitors Center. Hall contacted Rockwell initially to create an image for a Christmas card and it grew from there.
