Vote For Our Blog!

November 12th, 2008

Well, I just learned a few minutes ago that we’ve been nominated for the Best Teen Group Blog of 2008! And not only that, but the voting for the best blog has been going on for the past 2-3 days!

If I wasn’t clued in on another forum, the contest would have come and gone without us even knowing. :)

Even though we don’t know who nominated us, and we’re probably not in the best category (teen group?), we still think it would be cool to get some votes!

So here it is – the polling page where you can vote for Chronicles of the Willi.

Let’s see how high on the results list we can get!

While you’re at it, it’s worth visiting around at the other voting categories. They are filled with great blogs, some of which we read on a daily basis.

They’re HERE!!

November 12th, 2008

I mentioned a little while back that we’d be boarding two horses at Providence Glen, remember? Well, this past Sunday our friends drove up with a horse trailer hitched to their van, and well, as I’m sure you can see from the title, they’re HERE!! :-)

Meet Handsome Harley, commonly known as “Harley”

~And this is Christy, who insisted on laying down as I snapped her picture. :-)

~Harley and Christy, the inseparable duo, ‘chillaxing’ together.

No, we haven’t been riding yet. But never fear, we’ll be in the saddle after the horses become more familiar with us and their surroundings. Right now Mom and I have been working on getting Harley and Christy to come to us when we arrive at the gate, and rewarding them with carrottops (which are normally discarded in the preparation of making carrot juice). They’ll get used to us in this way, plus gain a lot of nutrition from all those carrots! :-)

I can’t get over how neat it is to walk outside and see Harley and Christy grazing in the field. It’s so good to be around horses again!

Going to Oz?

November 10th, 2008

Saturday night we were privileged to go see a live performance of the musical The Wizard of Oz, showing at the local college. The set was intricate, and beautifully created, we had pleasant company, music and atmosphere that altogether made for a lovely evening!

We knew many of the cast members involved in this production, so it was fun to search for our friends behind the makeup and wild costumes of Muchnkins, Poppies and Ozians. Sadly we didn’t get all their pictures whilst fellowshipping in the lobby, but here are a few for you to enjoy. :-)

~A very snazzy looking Ozian man, AKA Paul. Unfortunately, in this picture you can’t see the best part of Paul’s outfit, but atop his emerald hat was pinned the longest, fluffiest, greenest feather I’ve ever seen – awesome touch!

~a lovely Ozian woman and choir member (Melissa) with her sister

~and lastly, here we are posing with our friend Dorris, also playing an Ozian woman and choir singer.

We’re off to see the Wizard – the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!

At the Williams-Dickson Mansion

November 1st, 2008

I mentioned here about my job playing Milly, the slave girl. It was so much fun!
I couldn’t have asked for a better first day. I arrived early at the mansion, to get thoroughly briefed and meet the other actors. We were handed a schedule of the times we were supposed to give our speech, three of them in succession. My friend (the gal who recommended me) and I practicing our speeches on each other while we were waiting for the students to arrive.

I was rather nervous with the first group that trudged in, but I think my story came across. They were very impacted at what “I” had to do every day. “Chamber pots? Yuck!” I was a lot more relaxed with the second and third groups, and to use the cliche’, and I really felt like I became my character. :-) If I could change one aspect of the job, there would be a roaring fire in the kitchen.  It was quite a task to keep warm in there.
Not enough pictures as I would wish, but here are the two that Mom snapped soon after we got there. One of these days, I would love to take many pictures of the old beautiful house.
