Puppets and Rod


The little woman's class put on two puppet plays today.  They did "Peter Rabbit" and "The Ugly Duckling."  The little woman had parts in each play.  Funny how they were birds in each one.  Anyway she did a superb job.  The whole class did. 
After the play I went down to the cafeteria in time to sit with the little man for lunch.  Then we went outside and he showed he his prowess in shooting hoops. That left me enough time to get back to the lunch room to do the sit with the little woman for lunch.  She was a little hyped up after the play.  They love it when I come for lunch.

I fell in love with Rod Stewart when I was twelve years-old.  A neighbor gave me a stack of 45's to play on my brand new record player.  One of those was "Maggie May" and I played it and played it and played it.  My frugal nature has always said I would never see him in concert. 
So he is coming to the local amphitheater with Ms. Cyndi Lauper in August.  Pre-sale was today and I went online to look.  The cheapest seats were $75.  Nope, can't do it.  Lawn seating is $30 which seems to be what it always is buying from Ticketmaster.  I didn't get to the fees, but there are always fees.  So probably $35-40 to sit on the grass.   And I was seriously debating it.  But before I purchased tickets I thought I would check groupon one more time.  Last year I saw Matchbox Twenty and the Counting Crows for $20.  I had looked earlier and there was nothing.  But today......lawn seating for $20.  And there are no additional fees.  $20 to see an artist I have adored for over forty years.  Yup.  I bought two tickets.
