Two surprises today.
The first is this - -
The bud which had a tightly closed fist, ot showing any petals, for a few weeks, has bloomed. Lovely soft white petals and a pungent sweet fragrance that brings back many memories.
But more - this feels like a hug from Jim - a gift for the mid-run performance tonight of The Hello Girls. A hug I have needed.
And the second -
received this selfie from my son Jim this morning. In Paris for a few days on business he took took the time to find the Hotel Petrograd on Rue des Naples - the YWCA hotel where the Hello Girls stayed on their first nights in France.
Tired they fell deeply asleep and were rudely awakened several hours later by the screaming air raid sirens. They spent the rest of the night in the air raid shelter in the basement. Next morning they saw a pile of rubble across the street which had been a building when they walked into their hotel.
The bombed building across the street was rebuilt in 1926.
Today when I tell The Hello Girls at the Capital Fringe I know have a real-time image of that time and place during WWI.
Thank you, Jimmy.
I am so grateful for these and all the other blessing in my life.
