This past Saturday we all went to a dinner and a melodrama in Mantorville, MN.
We took Paul's parents and met his sisters and Grant at the Hubbell House restaurant for dinner.
About a block away is the Mantorville Theather Company where we watched the opening of their "Ax Me No Questions" or "Pines Are Never Blue but Ever Green." Sammy was mesmerized by the performance and sat through the whole show...even when the heroine was almost sawed in half at the lumber mill. The Mantorville Theater Company shows are great fun...with audience participation shouting "boo" and "hooray." Although Sammy sat with his aunt Annie a few rows back, we could hear him shouting "boo", "hiss", and "hooray!"
