Allen Pays Us a Visit

Allen Fredrick is our nephew from MN. He is my DH's sisters son, age 23 now, an actor who studied at the University of Minnesota Drama Department Acting, Dance, Singing...he does all three very well! He is driving from MN to Los Angeles to make a successful acting life for himself! But on the way he is stopping HERE to visit us for four whole days!!!! This summer he played in this show of Shakespeare's Mid Summer's Night Dream And here he is with the true love of his life Ms Jenelle who obviously is also an actress!
Allen and I will be very very busy up late most nights playing
Spite and Malice, a card game I taught him when he was just
a wee lad...and we have been playing it ever since
whenever we went to Minnesota summer, winter, spring or fall
and often I would WIN!!!
He is telling me that he plans on winning big this time.
Just because he is all grown up now, and well over six feet tall
does not mean he will surpass his Aunt (read with soft a please, as he says it) Lynn
in
Spite and Malice
!
cover your ears as it can get quite loud
and nasty!
LOL UPDATE ON GAME SPITE AND MALICE:
Allen won first set of two out of three last night.
I won first of three this morning so that means we are tied for number of hands won.
But there are two hands to go in today's game.
Stay tuned!
Now I have to go to work and they will go to the City to look at theaters and audition information.

    Have fun visiting with your nephew. (P.S.-you're supposed to let THEM win; they're younger) :)
    Your hammock looks very inviting. I haven't read that book.
    That Stone Soup quilt is gorgeous!
